That’s Interesting, Internet: Pussy Natural Energy Drink

Posted by mistergroonk in Food, Intertube Madness on January 14, 2011

It’s Friday. Let’s open the zoo.

We’re not sure what’s more bold: 1) calling your energy drink “Pussy.” 2) Using Oscar Wilde quotes to promote Pussy on your splash page.

Waves from the ‘Verse: Gingerbread Serenity

Posted by mistergroonk in Food, Just Freaking Neat, LOL on January 8, 2011

If you’re a proper browncoat this is seriously old news by Internet reckoning. That doesn’t make it any less shiny though. And this is the perfect intro to our latest ode to geek love easy post series “Waves from the ‘Verse”. The definitive companion to “Today in Star Wars.”

Firefly fan Kristogger Gressli spent a few days building this Joss Whedon-inspired treat with his brother. He even included a few photos to give us an idea of their process

If we look close we can almost see Wash’s toy dinosaurs gathered around the pilot’s chair.

Now that’s a ship that’s done the impossible and it is mighty.

Good Morning, Zero Gravity Mug. How Do You Like Your Coffee?

Posted by mistergroonk in Art, Food on September 15, 2010

We like our coffee like we like our women. Weightless and off-center.

Shanghai-based designer, Xu54, designer and produced this unexpected porcelain mug which stands perfectly at a tilt. The peculiar graph on the face of the mug represents the trajectory of love, which states ‘The entity of love leads to weightlessness, freeing one from gravity and resistance’.

We like our coffee like we like our women. Tipsy and ready to fall over.

We like our coffee like we like our women. Half up. Half down.

War on Food: Konnyaku, the Deadly Savory Jelly

Posted by mistergroonk in Food, Only in Japan on August 18, 2010

Konnyaku steak こんにゃくステーキMade from the starch of Devil’s Tongue, a subtropical plant, the pulp is turned into a grey jelly that is used in a range of dishes in Japan.

Unfortunately, anyone who bites off more than they can chew can end up choking to death due to the elasticity of the food.

According to a task force of the Consumer Affairs Agency, 22 people have died in the last 16 years after eating konnyaku – the vast majority either the elderly or young people.

The photo inset is konnyaku in its steak form. Yes. Steak. The Flickr search is very…enlightening.

Any product derived from a plant called Devil’s Tongue is just asking for trouble.

Baked pastries are not beyond fail. Cake Wrecks is a site found via a friend on Facebook. It seems they log all the horrifying confection malfunctions and display them for all to see and laugh at. Cake Wrecks were running their own holiday theme. The following images are from their “Spider Wreck Chronicles.”
