The iToilet
Jan 22nd
This is from the same guy that brought us the funny Mactini parody. The guy has as name, too. He is Peter Serafinowicz, a British comedian, you may or may not remember from Look Around You. See if you can’t get a “copy” of that show because it’s pretty funny. Anybody remember Songs from the Year 2000 skit? Maybe even the Machadaynu song? No? You can check out that masterpiece (remixed) on our friend’s site LOL Factory here.
In any case, this Apple product parody here is about a toilet. Not much you can improve on a toilet, right? Well, of course you’re wrong!
I must admit that it’s not the funniest Apple parody but still worth a watch.
Ackbar! The Star Wars Talk Show
Jan 22nd
It had to happen.
Even in a galaxy far, far away TV isn’t much better than here on Earth and trashy talk shows can be found on every holo-channel.
As if further proof was needed, the Skywalkers are shown as the moisture farming trash family that they really are.

Things that needed to be done: The Portal Gun has been built
Jan 22nd
Although this is just a copy it gives me hope. Hope, that one day someone out there will actually build a real Portal Gun. And give it to me. Me alone. Step 1 in my plan to take over the world. Step 2: Deathstar (Isn’t it great how I manage to sneak in a star wars reference into almost every post?).
Details are as follows (let’s get technical, shall we?):
It lights up both blue and orange along the tube, in the barrel, and in the “indicator light” on top. The light switch is a two-way toggle in the back by the handle. It’s 22″ long including the prongs and weighs about 15 lbs.

Obama vs Darth Vader
Jan 21st
I once had a dream where I was having the coolest lightsaber battle ever with none other than the Dark Lord Darth Vader himself – and I was winning!
I am no Sith myself and have fairly decent manners, so I decided to let Vader live and he ran away like a little girl. I knew that he still had some business with Luke and I didn’t want to mess with the Star Wars universe and timeline. That’s how considerate I am!
Unlike the new US president, apparently. He goes into full on battle mode with Vader, as is evident in the picture below. Go Obama, the force is with you!
Only now, at the end, do you understand:
more pictures here.

Subwoofer Cat
Jan 21st
OK. The internet actually has everything. Where else would you find a video of a cat on a subwoofer?
Space Battleship Yamato built from LEGO
Jan 21st
Lego stuff is cool. That’s what I keep telling myself so I can keep on buying Star Wars Lego and replay Episode 3 the way it should have been (with Jar Jar ending in a Lego lava pit). For a little moment I even considered buying that Lego Deathstar. But to be honest, there’s too many pieces in that set and I run out of patience so quickly that I would just end up looking at the packaging instead of building the damn thing.
The guy who built this cool Lego Space Battleship Yamato though… not only does he have angelic patience and skills. I’m sure he also has a mental problem. Why else would you spent around 40 hours playing with tiny little bricks? Was there nothing on TV?
Obviously I am just plain jealous of his skills. The guy with the awesome skills is, of course, an artist from Hong Kong and goes by the name of Vincent Cheung. He has a gallery up over at Brickshelf with many more awesome Lego pictures, so go and check it out.
I want that ship, not excuses:

Something to do at the weekend: DIY catapult
Jan 21st
I am not good at DIY. In fact, I suck at it. Hammer and nails and me just don’t get along. Also, I am left-handed. At least I always use that as an excuse if something need to be done around the house micro-flat I live in.
However, I hear that you can actually do some cool stuff with DIY, even if you’re just half-able. Like building a doghouse. Or a tree house. Or maybe even a giant sized catapult the Romans would be proud of. If that’s what tickles your fancy.
As soon as someone figures out how to built a DIY Deathstar I’ll get my tools.
