This picture of Albert Einstein was shot in Los Angeles, California sometime in 1931. The photo was taken by one Harry Burnett at Cal Tech in Pasadena while the Yale Puppeteers were working in their theater. From Retronaut: Einstein saw the puppet perform at the Teato Torito and was quite amused. He reached into his jacket’s breast pocket, pulled out a letter and crumpled it up. Speaking in German, he said, “The puppet wasn’t fat [...]
![Proof That Your Home Office Isn’t Really That Filthy [Gallery]](http://www.uberreview.com/wp-content/themes/morning/functions/theme/thumb.php?src=http://www.uberreview.com/wp-content/uploads/7oYFJ.jpg&w=300&h=150&zc=1&a=c)
I have three office spaces, my home office, my desk in the teacher’s room at my school and my desk in the counseling classroom. The desk in the counseling classroom is shared by other teachers, so I keep it spotlessly clean, the other two are all mine and the level of filth ebbs and flows… at least I thought it did. Seeing these pictures though I realized something: I’m not that bad. If you know [...]
A significant piece of gaming history just changed hands on eBay for a very respectable price. An original prototype cartridge of Nintendo’s Legend of Zelda just sold for the wallet-busting price of $50,000. That is a lot of money, but not nearly as much as the $150,000 figure that was floating around on the interwebs before, which leads me to suspect that someone experienced a case of buyer’s remorse and bailed on the auction. It [...]
A teenage Taiwanese gamer has succumbed to the rigors of a 40-hour Diablo 3 session. The 18-year-old, who is identified only as Chuang booked a private room at a cafe in Tainan, souther Taiwan and played Diablo 3 for nearly two days without eating. On the morning of July 15 a cafe attendant found Chuang resting on a table. The attendant woke him, he stood, took a few steps and collapsed. He was pronounced dead [...]
4chan’s long history of prankery and scallywag behavior didn’t earn the above pictured Burger King any sympathy from the Anonymous legion. The worker posted a picture of himself standing in a couple of tubs of lettuce on the imageboard along with a caption that read, “This is the lettuce you eat at Burger King.” It is not clear if he was trolling, or looking for laughs – but perhaps he should have considered the possibility [...]
Nestlé Australia and New Zealand made a hilarious foray into Instagram this week, when they decided to use a guy in a brown bear suit playing a drum set with a pair of Kit-Kat chocolate bars. Drum roll please … Kit Kat is on Instagram Unfortunately for Nestlé, the guy in a bear suit bore an uncanny resemblance to Pedobear. The company subsequently removed the photo and posted this explanation: We produced this photo – [...]
![Machine Gun Vest Fires When Wearer Raises Hands [Breastmachine Gun]](http://www.uberreview.com/wp-content/themes/morning/functions/theme/thumb.php?src=http://www.uberreview.com/wp-content/uploads/Machine-gun-vest-by-Sammy-Schwarz-thumb-550xauto-93751.jpg&w=300&h=150&zc=1&a=c)
Back in the days before you were told to interlock your fingers behind your head, people were told to raise their hands. Back in the 1929, that could have been the trigger that set forth a stream of lead and pain for the person on the business end of this machine gun vest. The breastmachine gun was the work of Sammy Schwarz, an inventor from Chicago. It was controlled by two strings, which would run [...]

If you want to turn yourself into a Bond-worthy villain then a suitably secretive lair is an absolute must. Norway, it seems, can be of some assistance – the Scandinavian country is selling off Olavsvern Naval Base and they only want $17.5 million for it. You should be set with regards to space, it has 13,500 square meters above ground, a 2,500-square-meter quay and 25,000 square meters of assorted goodness that includes (among other things): [...]
Personally, I think “grills” are the most ridiculous fashion statement ever to be conceived – but artist Aisen Chacin has taken things one step further by turning a grill into a tongue-controlled MP3 player that the wearer hears in his or her skull via bone conduction. Chacin made a mould of her mouth, into which she embedded the MP3 player (with controls facing downwards to allow tongue access and a small vibrating motor connected to [...]
This 13″ 2011 MacBook Pro that is currently on sale on Craigslist might sound like a steal at $200 – until you see the picture. After the seller goes on to boast about its abilities in the fields of business, movie making and Djin [DJing?], he/she goes on to drop this little disclaimer: Speaking of Djin, I was spinning at my home nightclub and a fight brokeout and they started shooting. I hit the deck [...]
When leeches are full from feeding off the blood of their prey, they simply let go so they can digest, and perhaps smoke a leech-sized cigarette. The truth is I’m not sure what happens during their actual digestion, but at least it’s good to know that those filthy creatures aren’t total gluttons. A man named Connor Klein was inspired by leech feedings and thought that maybe the same could be true of a phone charger. [...]
