It’s a well documented fact that skulls make everything cooler. As you may or may not know, I’m somewhat of a skull collector myself. I don’t actually own any real ones, but I’m not foolish enough to keep evidence after battling a mortal enemy to the death. Please don’t put me on a list. These are the skull themed kitchen utensils available from Suck UK. Constructed of stainless steel, they’re available individually in (from left to right) sugar spoon, pickle fork, bar spoon, serving spoon, spatula, and tongs. They’re all $15 except the sugar spoon, which is $8. I only bought the sugar spoon because it’s all I can afford and I’m going to complain about the dribbling every time I try to eat cereal with it, which will be at least three times a day (I’m a huge cereal guy).

This is the worthwhile (read: I would take the time to watch it) music video for OK Go’s ‘Love’, which was filmed as one continuous shot and uses a bunch of industrial robotic arms holding mirrors to create different imagery in fun and innovative ways. Would I have stood in the middle of all those robot arms? Absolutely not, but I value my life. “Didn’t you just start a fight club?” Not according to my life insurance policy I didn’t.

This is a video created by Joseph of Joseph’s Machines (previously) in collaboration with Dr. Squatch hand soaps of the automatic hand washing machine he constructed (not actually a Rube Goldberg machine because it’s powered). Does it look like a medieval torture device? Kind of. I especially liked the stuffed animal hand drying wheels at the end. Me? I dry my hands the old fashioned way. “Never washing them in the first place?” Come on, I’m not an animal, I just went to the bathroom. On my pants — the answer was ‘on my pants.’

A partnership between Anchorage Solid Waste Services and the Alaska Zoo, this is a video of a group of Kodiak bears testing the bear-resistance of a new trash can. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the cans stand little chance against the massive 700+ pound bears. These aren’t those bears in the commercials that wipe with Charmin, these bears wipe with thorn bushes. My favorite part is at 0:29 when the bear just casually tosses the can like a piece of crumpled paper into a wastebasket, then right after when it wears it like a hat. Did you know in a recent survey that 6% of Americans believe they could actually win an unarmed fight against a grizzly bear? I vote we let them try and put the concept of survival of the delusionalist to the test.

This is a video of musician Ichika Nito performing his own uptempo arrangement of Beethoven’s Für Elise on guitar with a drum and bass backing that turns the song into a speedy club track. I remember in high school my music teacher actually tried to convince us Für Elise meant Elise the Werewolf. He got busted growing weed my junior year.

The Luft Balloon Clock is a wall clock (also includes a desk stand) that looks like a transparent mylar balloon. Available from Lox in orange and beige for $146 apiece, the clocks measure approximately 13″ round and operate on a single AA battery. Me? I operate on veins full of espresso or I don’t operate at all. “Even a broken clock is right twice a day.” Then I am right twice a day while my seconds hand just twitches in place.
