SOBEaR – The Responsible Bartender

Are you one of those people that doesn’t know when they’ve had one too many drinks? If the answer is yes, SOBEaR might just become your best friend. SOBEaR is the most adorable robot bartender in the world. Shaped as a panda teddy-bear for trustworthiness, he can tell you how drunk you are just by “smelling” your breath. The sensor is under his chin and the green, yellow and red LEDs on his chest and belly light up according to how drunk you are. If he feels you’re drunk enough he’ll pour you some juice, from one of his servo-controlled arms. Of course you can just have SOBEaR hold two alcohol bottles, but what would be the fun in that? via jmsaavedra panda-bartender panda-bartender2 panda-bartender4 panda-bartender5 panda-bartender7 SOBEaR v02 :: the responsible robot bartender from j saavedra on Vimeo.

Modern-Day Chariot Races in Rome

On April 21 2009 Rome celebrated 2762 years of existence, and its modern-day Romans organized all sorts of events in honor of this occasion. As most of you know, old Rome loved competitions. Gladiator fights and chariot races were social events that everyone loved. As a tribute to the old times, the current inhabitants of Rome organized an old fashioned chariot race. Well, sort of… The modern chariots were pulled by bicycles instead of horses and the riders were actually cyclists. The competitors had to race three laps around the old Circus Maximus. rome-race rome-race2 rome-race3 rome-race4 rome-race5 via Etoday

Shrek and Fiona in Real Life

Everybody knows the popular animation movie Shrek has a large fan-base, but some of those fans go as far as to get married dressed as their favorite characters. British nurse Christine England and her fiance Keith got married last month, wearing the costumes of Fiona and Shrek. They spent over three hours putting on the costumes and green make-up, but it was worth it, since it was a wedding neither of them will forget. Christine tried to get her 18 years old son to dress-up like Donkey, but “he wasn’t having any of it”. The 100 guests attending the wedding were also dressed in funky, fairytale costumes. shrek-and-fiona shrek-and-fiona2 shrek-and-fiona3 shrek-and-fiona4 shrek-and-fiona5 via Daily Mail

2009 Office-Chair Racing Championship

The Germans have done it again. I really thought they were a really serious people, focused only on their work, but it turns out they know how to have fun as well. After they organized the Ice Swimming Festival in Neuburg, early this year, the Germans strike again with the 2009 Office-Chair Racing Championship. The rather unusual racing competition was held on April 25, in Bad Koening Zell, in western Germany. Competitors raced on a 200-meter-long course, in basic or modded office-chairs. The Office-Chair Racing Championship was first held in 2008, but it’s already growing in popularity and, who knows, it could become an Olympic sport pretty soon. office-chair-racing office-chair-racing2 office-chair-racing3 office-chair-racing4 office-chair-racing5 office-chair-racing6 office-chair-racing7 Photos by Reuters

Ajay Kumar – The World’s Shortest Actor

Ajay Kumar, one of Bollywood‘s most popular comedy actors, has officially been acknowledged as the world’s shortest actor, by the Guinness Book of Records. He is only 75 cm tall. At the young age of 32, Kumar, better known by his stage name, Unda Pakru, has starred in 50 movies, in his 13 years movie career. “Thanks” to his disability he has had much more success in Bollywood, than normal actors, and is now one of the most popular men in India. Ajay was one of the most eligible bachelors in his home-town of Kerala, and he married Gayatri, in 2005. It was a fixed marriage, but apparently it was a match made in heaven. The actor’s five-months-old daughter is proof of that. shortest-actor1 shortest-actor21 shortest-actor32 Smallest actor photos by Niklas Halle’n/ Barcroft Media

Shitty Toilet Paper

It’s not that it’s not soft or anything, but looking at this toilet paper dispenser, in Copenhagen, I just had to use that title. Very funny and original way to promote this brand of toilet-paper, although I’m sure a lot of people will feel offended and won’t even touch the thing. Which will be a problem in case of a number 2. funny-toilet-paper2.jpg Read More »

Kush -The Breast Support Cushion

I know what you’re thinking, and yes, this is another one of those “what will they think of next?” posts. Kush is an extremely important accessory if you’re one of those women that would do anything to prevent gravity from affecting their breasts. Apparently Kush will support women’s breasts all through the night and prevent them from developing cleavage wrinkles… It works best for women who sleep on their sides, that have a C-cup or larger and that might have had breasts implants in the past. Kush breast support cushions cost between $55-60 depending on their size. Not the most brilliant thing I’ve ever seen, but it’s definitely one of the most bizarre. breast-pillow.jpg Read More »

The School Bus-Truck

Is it a school bus or a school truck? Actually it’s both. The financial crysis is taking its toil on the educational system as well. Schools can’t even afford school busses anymore, so they improvise. The school bus-truck isn’t the ugliest vehicle I have ever seen and I’m sure it gets the job done, but it is damn funny looking. school-bus.jpg school-bus2.jpg school-bus3.jpg

Keep REALLY Still!

One thing I’d definitely wouldn’t do, whatever anyone would pay me. But if this Chinese chick agreed to do it, at least I hope it’s worth it. dangerous-job.jpg Read More »

Famous LEGO Paintings

LEGO bricks have become the most popular tools when people want to recreate something famous, in a totally different way. This is not te first time someone used LEGO bricks to make something extraordinary. Some built LEGO famous buildings, others made the LEGO Beijing Olympics and recently Legoland California recreated Obama’s Inauguration from LEGO. The LEGO famous paintings are the work of former Italian bank worker Marco Pece. He posts his LEGO masterpieces on Flickr, under the pseudonym Udronotto, and his creations have become hits on the internet. Visist his profile on Flickr to see more of his original LEGO artwork, it trully is amazing. lego-art.jpg lego-art1.jpg lego-art2.jpg lego-art3.jpg lego-art4.jpg lego-art5.jpg lego-art6.jpg lego-art7.jpg lego-art8.jpg lego-art9.jpg lego-art10.jpg lego-art11.jpg lego-art12.jpg lego-art13.jpg via Dailymail

Putin Fishing Doll

Russians worship their former president Vladimir Putin, and now they have created a doll of him in a very popular scene. We all remember the photos of shirtless Vladimir Putin fishing while standing on a rock. Many praised the Russian leader for his fitness and the photos circled around the globe. Now his loyal subjects have created a doll of him in that famous circumstance. I have to say the detail of Putin’s muscles are quite impressive. Good job comrades, your creation is a worthy adversary for the Obama action-figure and the Hitler Doll putin-fishing.jpg putin-fishing1.jpg putin-fishing2.jpg putin-fishing3.jpg putin-fishing4.jpg putin-fishing5.jpg putin-fishing6.jpg putin-fishing7.jpg putin-fishing8.jpg putin-fishing9.jpg putin-fishing10.jpg via Diorama

Astrology Condoms

People love sex and zodiac predictions, so why not mix the two? Unfortunately the funny-looking Astrology Condoms are the product of a very small Japanese company called  Yamashita Latex, and can only be found in some shops around Japan. The company doesn’t even have a website where you can order their products. You won’t find Astrology Condoms in any Western country, so if you have friends in Japan call them and ask them to send you some. I have to admit this is a great way to market your condoms. astrology-condoms.jpg astrology-condoms1.jpg astrology-condoms2.jpg astrology-condoms3.jpg astrology-condoms4.jpg astrology-condoms5.jpg astrology-condoms6.jpg astrology-condoms7.jpg astrology-condoms8.jpg astrology-condoms9.jpg astrology-condoms10.jpg astrology-condoms11.jpg astrology-condoms12.jpg via Condomunity
