Wow!

What can I say? These officially-licensed Stay Puft Caffeinated Marshmallows ($20) feature over 100mg of caffeine a piece, and come in a collectible, rubbery box. Who you gonna call?

Words cannot explain the brilliance of this shot!

I have adopted a new hobby lately. Well. I say hobby…

I trawl the ‘Recommended’ section of my Google Reader account looking for odd and quirky things. Its amazing what you can find!

For example, how amazing is this walk in bookcase?! Bet it smells fantastic.

The Ark, designed by Rintala Eggertsson Architects is a book lovers dream – the ultimate bookshelf, one that you can literally climb inside and spend the day in. Talk about getting lost in a good book!

Or how about this (expensive) Honeymoon suite?

Have you ever seen anything more amazing?! Conrad Maldives Rangali Island‘s unique underwater suite is actually the hotel’s restaurant "Ithaa," which can been converted into a boudoir below the Indian Ocean in honor of its fifth anniversary. One night comes complete with Champagne breakfast and aquatic swim-bys from blue-striped snapper, sting rays, parrot fish, and moray eels. The tab is pretty steep, and you need to request the room at least 14 days in advance, but it certainly gives new meaning to the term "sleeping with the fishes."

Cool or what?!

This is a prototype digital camera Kodak produced way back in 1975. The toaster-sized system relied on a cassette tape for recording data. The digitised images took 23 seconds to record to tape which then had to be played back using a specialised system, shown in the second photo. Damn! 1975? I wasn’t even born. I never would have guessed they had this sort of thing back then.

I honestly can’t imagine dealing with 23-second-per-image write times and cassette tapes. Memories of a Sinclair ZX Spectrum come flooding back!

Read the following quote from BBC News USA/Canada and then answer the following question.

Three family members at a wedding in Turkey have been accidentally shot dead by the groom firing an AK-47 rifle in celebration.

Question: Why would you have an AK-47 at a wedding?!

What happens when you strap a Nexus One to a rocket with 1,000lbs of thrust and throw it up 28,000 feet in the sky? The first such launch didn’t go so well, with the rocket suffering a ballistic return. The second flight was rather more successful, and the video results can be seen below – captured by the phone itself!

I’m reposting this from Girly Bubble on behalf of Sarah

Oh NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Poor bunny! These little bunny shaped sugar lumps are so precious they should be in a stop-motion animated feature about the dreary malaise of living in the modern world. In the end of course they would meet their inevitable fate, being dunked in coffee for the edification of sadistic cuteitarians. But isn’t it worth it? Aren’t we worth it, slogging through this life, searching high and low for cute? We deserve to have cuteness be a part of our everyday routine, and if that means sacrificing a few sugar bunnies along the way, so be it.

I stress the above was NOT written by me!

This is the best chair design I have seen so far. The gravity balance is fully reclined. Your legs can be elevated above your head, and the feeling of floating free of gravity should be amazing. But the price is way too high, over $2000 for one unit.

Apple have announced today that they will be holding a press conference regarding the iPhone 4 Antenna issue. It will be at 6pm GMT on Friday 16th July. This comes after the now infamous news that the antenna issue is a hardware fault and not a software issue as previously indicated by Apple. Stay tuned…

Retro!
