Butterscotch the Robotic Pony

December 22, 2007

This toy is ridiculous. It’s like taking the Furby entirely to the next level. I was at Sam’s Club (the warehouse equivalent of Wal-Mart) when I came across this miniature robotic pony, and I whipped out my cell phone and took the attached video. I can’t believe these things even exist, and it just shows [...]

Guinness beer has an ingenious new advertisement that could previously only been seen by those who solved the puzzles on the Guinness website at GuinnessTipping.com! Well, I suppose some Genius figured out the riddle and then graciously bestowed the location of the new videos on the rest of us. So, grab a beer, kick back, [...]

How To Make Instant Hot Ice

November 3, 2007

Wow, this video is incredible. Perhaps we’ve got some chemist in the OMB readership who will care to explain exactly how the heck this works! This video demonstrates how to make a liquid that turns to ice at the touch of a finger. Must be one of the strangest reactions I’ve ever seen.

Amazing Rube Goldberg Machine and Game!

October 7, 2007

This video is as cool, or possibly even better, than my previous post on Incredible Japanese Kinetic Machines. In this video, the creators of this Rube Goldberg machine (a machine that performs a simple task in a complex way) have woven the kinetic reactions all over an entire house!

The Online Etch-A-Sketch

July 7, 2007

I previously posted about the famous Etch-A-Sketch artists, but at the time I had no idea that there is a virtual Etch-a-Sketch that anyone can use to practice online! But guess what… there is! Head on over to the online Etch-a-Sketch and give it a whirl. It works exactly like a real one, which means [...]

The Incredible Folding Chair

May 28, 2007

This chair / art is totally awesome! The only problem is that I’ve scoured the Web and I can’t find anything about it anywhere. And as most of you know by now I’m normally pretty good at uncovering strange things on the Net. If anyone knows or finds anything else about this chair please share [...]
