The American Hotdog: Socialistsic behavior

After years of research, trial and error, and many paper towels, I have finally come to understand the nature and personality of the American Hotdog.

Although it may seem simplistic to most, the American Hotdog is a very intricate and unique breed of hotdog. It acts as a mere standalone relying on other species, such as humans to help its pollination. Although modern science has yet to explain exactly how it attracts the eye, the American Hotdog does quite a good job at luring the unsuspecting person to it with a watering mouth.

In its simple form, the American Hotdog can be quite a treat, but some carnivores (mainly the humans) like to prepare the hotdog even further. This of course, does not please the hotdog.
When the now turned predator tries to engulf the friendly hotdog in flames, perhaps next to its distant cousin the beef patty, the hotdog uses its last measures of self defense. To ward off anything it can, our friend the American Hotdog uses a method unique to its own species and none other in the world as we know it. Upon the desecration of its kind, the hotdog tends to bulge out at either or both ends and depending on the severity of the attack, can split open, or with the harshest attacks, can even perform an extremely gruesome kamikaze-like ritual and explode. This ensures that the predators will no longer desire the once friendly and delicious treat.

As the ages has advanced in time, humans have tried many times to stop the defensive actions of the American Hotdog. One of the more favored attempts involve fornicating the hotdog with a wooden stick, and then dipping the entire thing in a golden batter.

Although this may sound completely inhumane, to the hotdog, it causes little discomfort....... until a predator desires to raise the temperature of the corn-batter encased hotdog, or "reheat" it. This, yet again, causes the American Hotdog to go into its natural defense mode.

And yet again, to be frank, the American Hotdog will live on in our hearts for years to come.

As long as we keep the microwave on for under 2 minutes, that is.

For the legophile in everybody

If youve got a thing for legos, then Its probably time you took it to the next level.

Its a 4-component sofa setup, But the interesting thing about it is the fact that you can reconfigure it in anyway you want without having to worry about everything not fitting together.

The complete set, dubbed Bekky, is made of rubber and foam (which actually sounds kinda comfy), and all pieces fit into each other, essentially making an endless amount of configuration possibilities for you to rest your rump on while you play Star Wars and drink your ice cold Bawls, you ninja, you. The 4-piece set will set you back $466. But im sure you would agree with me when I say its totally worth that just so you can match your lego wallpaper colors.

Jot that crap down!

Well, more appropriately speaking... Jot on that crap.

The website address alone is enough to make your curiosity get the best of you.

PoopooPaper.com has done the unthinkably gross and taken elephant crap and manufactured it into something useful. Great. All the paper and covers are made out of re-recycled materials.


Elephants crap a lot. Enough to make 10 books every time they do. That’s a lot of bullshit. Literally.

We can make about 25 large sheets of paper from a single piece (or turd) of elephant poo poo!!! That translates into about 10 standard sized journals including the front and back covers! Neat, huh!?!?!?

The site says that the paper doesn’t smell like anything but paper. Maybe, maybe not. But there’s always one thing that’s going to sit in the back of your mind. You’re writing on poo, dude.

BeatBots: Mutant dancing peeps?

This has seriously got to be the coolest robot ive seen for a long time.

Looking at it, would you say Im full of it if I said it can totally out-dance you and most of the people you know? The robot, Keepon, has no arms or legs, but still manages to look damn good on the dance floor.

Using its two squishy semi-spheres, it bounces, twists, turns, and stretches its way around while listening to any music it can detect a beat from. Once it detects a beat, it matches its movements to the timing of the song perfectly. It actually looks so good you would think it was preprogrammed. And not to mention its so cute it makes you wanna puke, ha.

Go to the page and play the video, making sure you watch the 'Keepon dancing to Spoon' video. (Its one of 2 buttons at the bottom of the video player)

But theres still one question. If you put it in the microwave, would it do the same thing the peeps do?

Make an invisible bookshelf

This is definitely the most unique bookshelf ive ever seen.... or, err... haven't seen.



Ha! The bottom book it attached to the wall. Its a super simple idea, but its just one of those awesome things that are gonna make visitors just stand there for a few minutes staring at it with a look of confusion on their faces.
