I’ve enjoyed most of the Star Wars films, and this is just bloody cool. As you can see the desk is made to look like Han Solo frozen in carbonite!
Unfortunately, this is a one-of-a-kind piece was designed specifically for someone.
But you could submit some sort of favor/bribe to the designer and see if they won’t craft you one also!

Each feature will be based on three of the books in Otomo’s series. The story takes place in New Manhattan, a metropolis that was rebuilt after being destroyed 31 years earlier. Otomo will exec produce the films.

A young boy is close to being more bird than human because he was never spoken to while living in a virtual aviary.
Authorities say the 7-year-old boy’s only form of communication was “chirping” after spending his life in a bird cage-filled apartment with a mother who treated him like one of her pets.
The “bird-boy” – whom authorities said suffered from Mowgli syndrome, from the Jungle Book character raised by wild animals – didn’t engage in any normal human communication but instead learnt the language of birds.
Social worker Galina Volskaya said authorities were shocked when they found the boy in a two-bedroom apartment – which had bird droppings scattered across the floor.
“When you start talking to him, he chirps,” Volskaya said.
Volskaya also said when the boy becomes frustrated by being unable to communicate with authorities using bird-talk, he waves his arms as if they were wings.
The boy’s mother has given him over to authorities, who have reportedly placed him in an asylum.

A Singapore-based retailer pulled a line of cheeky Jesus-branded cosmetics from its shelves after complaints from irate Catholics. The cosmetics, called “Lookin’ Good for Jesus”, are made by American makeup company Blue Q. It was sold in three Topshop outlets in Singapore. Wing Tai Holdings, which manages the Topshop brand in the city-state, pulled the items of its shelves late last month after some customers complained. Some of the products sold include, a “virtuous vanilla” lip balm, hand and body cream and a mirrored Jesus statuette. They feature a drawing of Jesus flanked by two adoring women and carry slogans such as “Get tight with Christ”, “Get His Attention” and “Redeem Your Reputation and More”. Blue Q also carries other tongue-in-cheek items such as a “Believe in God Breath Spray”.
You can find all these products here.
O.o I thought it was Jesus SAVES not Jesus SELLS. Man, even I couldn’t make something like this up.
This is a cheeseburger. In a can. It’s a cheeseburger in a can.
I honestly can’t figure out how I feel about this: is it the greatest achievement of mankind thus far, or is it an abomination of foodstuffs that deserves to be hucked back into the gaping maw of whatever food processing plant it was spewed from? I just don’t know what to think anymore. Would you eat a cheeseburger in a can? Keep in mind that it’ll look nowhere near as delicious as the example above when you pull it out of the can.

About the cheeseburger in a can which I posted earlier, someone actually bought one and tried it out. Here’s what he has to say as quoted from Something Awful:It tastes… not so good. Very bland, kind of like pre-made tomato sauce and a bitter aftertaste. The lower bun got kinda soggy, which really lowered the overall experience. I’m not sick and I say I would eat this thing again if it weren’t so expensive. And I really must say that this probably is faaaar better when you’re many kilometers away from civilization on top of some mountain and you can whip out a cheeseburger with nearly the same quality as a McDonald’s cheeseburger while your friend eats dry bread or power bars.

Remember ladies, the best way to attract a man is with your eyes.
That’s why it’s so important to have your eye makeup perfectly applied.
If it weren’t for the excellent application of proper eye makeup this young lady probably wouldn’t get a second look from most guys.
Then again, I could be wrong . . . . . .
