Beer Pong Table for Old Dudes

Ok, I admit… we have a beer pong table that is just two plywood pieces that fold up (to be portable). It’s been good for many years. But we’re getting older now and something like this appeals to the grown-up in me.

The modernly crafted wood is shaped like a sleek skate ramp, the legs from cast iron and there are a set of red plexiglass cut outs on either end that are lit underneath by a set of LED lights. No screws or nails in this baby. It seems like something that would be nice to look at while I quince my thirst and get competitive.

This is an amazing invention. It uses similar technology as a touch lamp. The saw can tell the difference between your hand and the wood and turns itself off before you can even feel it.

Using water to do stuff is cool. Our post on the water fueled torch created quite the discussion. But how about a water fueled car? (Man you can find anything on Youtube). Well check check out the video, apparently all you need is a mason jar, some tubing and a whole load of crazy. In no time your car will be a melting heap on the side of the road. WTF?

Octabong Means Beer Fun for Eight

Hailed as the invention of the decade by, ah, Us, it’s the Octabong. Revolutionizing the beer bong industry, this exclusive bong features eight – that’s right, eight – compartments for a truly communal drinking experience. One-inch diameter flexible PVC tubes allow eight drinkers to throw back their favorite beer in the race champions. The college dorms (and boardrooms throughout Silicon Valley) will never be the same.

Jetman Uses His Body as Flight Controls

I know this clip is old, but I stumbled on it and it was too cool to pass up posting. This dude, Yves Rossy, created a wing he could wear on his back and strapped four small jet engines to it. I know the result sounds like something you’d see in the turn of the century silent films where the dude takes a header off a pier, but oh no. This guy actually flies. A real like jet-man. He uses only his body movements and position to steer himself. At first the clip sort of looks like a controlled free fall, but keep watching. The jet engines offer lift and he’s able to control where he’s going. Pretty damn cool.
