Introducing the Man Wall, an entertainment console with everything that a masculine man needs. There are four TVs controlled by a single matrix splitter remote, two humidors, a microwave that is just the right size for nachos, a small wine rack, a 1200 watt, wireless 5.1 surround sound speaker system, scrolling marquee sports ticker, an iPod dock, and a full sized, refrigerated beer keg and you have pretty much eliminated any possible reason for leaving the house.

The LOLrioKart is the work of some foolhardy MIT students who decided that it would be a good idea to upgrade the wheels of an old shopping cart, give it some NiCd aircraft batteries, and a 15hp brushless motor and tweak it so that it can drive at 45mph.
Johnny Knoxville take note, this thing has Jackass 3 written all over it. What you need is two of them, a couple of broomsticks with boxing gloves stuck to the ends and voila shopping cart jousting at 45mph (that’s a combined speed of 90mph) - sure it will probably end badly, but as long as Steve O is in one of the carts, we will be entertained.
Whenever I see a weird or unusual chess set, the first thing I look for is how the pieces are differentiated. The Paul Fryer’s Vacuum Tube Chess set is a little bit special in this regard. The squares contain sockets for the vacuum tubes, which actually light up to display what piece they are. This is hands down the coolest chess set that I have ever seen.
If you want one, good luck, there were only seven made, vacuum tubes are expensive and something tells me that people that actually scored one of the seven are not going to let these masterpieces go any time soon. [Gizmodo via Slippery Brick]
This giant inflatable cockroach is about the coolest pool toy that I have ever seen. The kid who busts out one of these at a pool party is definitely going to be the envy of all of his/her (but probably his) friends.
In general, gadget vests look bad, but the CVFR-S09 Solar Vest really takes the bad taste cake; it is exquisitely awful. I am not sure if it is the prominent uber-reflective solar panels, or the fact that it actually has the words “Solar Vest” emblazoned on the back, or maybe it is a combination of the two plus the hideous color.
What does it do? It has eight gadget pockets and can recharge on gadget at a time, aside from that it sacrifices self-esteem, frightens away members of the opposite sex and turns friends into acquaintances - it’s a magic vest.
