Rue The Day!

I am severly disturbed by this comb created by Reid Peppard I’m all for taxidermy and fur-accessories, but putting the top half of a dead rodent in your hair is just freaky.

If you’re looking for something that will make you wet your pants in pure terror, here are 20 surgical instruments that are totally scary. The one above is used to cut open the brain.

Thank you Giggle Sugar for this tremendously traumatizing image that is certain to scar me for life. If this is the costume you and your family are planning to wear, please tell me that under these costumes you look like a Barbie Doll and can’t precreate further.

A South Carolina sheriff’s department has purchased a tank with a .50 caliber machine gun. To put this gun into perspective, the amunition is strong enough to peirce through a car and even the millitary is hesistant to use it in most situations. The sheriff, Leon Lott, has actually convinced himself (and is working on convincing the general public) that the armmored personel carrier will “save lives.”

This is ridiculous. Seriously, and I’m even in favor of the right to bear arms, but no one, government official or private civillian should need something that even the military rarely needs. Find out more here.

The guy of Rescue Ink may look like hardcore scary bikers, but they actually have a huge soft spot for some of the sweetest things on earth -animals. They love little critters and have actually started an organization to save animals. For in the world of bikers, animal abuse is pretty common and this is a very noble and fairly brave idea.
They’ve even become so popular, they’ve received calls for help from people in Australia.

Here’s an invention we all can use…at least to scare children. A USB drive with a teddy bear head that gets its head ripped off and shoved into your drive. It’s precious and scary, all at once. My kind of toy.

I saw Indiana Jones last week. If you haven’t seen it already, without giving too much away, I can tell you there’s a scene with creepy, flesh-eating red ants. I hated the scene though I loved the movie. Why? Because I hate ants.

As a child, one of my worst nightmares involved hiding in a linen cupboard as a line of two-foot-tall red ants walked through my hallway with my parents and my sister on their backs. Just when I thought I was safe, the cupboard popped open and one of the ants started carrying me towards their nest.

It may sound silly now, but it was terrifying to a three year old. To this day, ants in large quantities still creep me out. I know other people have similar strange nightmares when they were children. I was wondering what kind of weird dreams you guys have had. Let me know in the comments.

A new burger joint in Beirut has opened with a terrorist theme. Order burgers to the audio of gunfire -no, really, they’re doing that, and the walls are decorated with fake guns and camoflauge. Try a “rocket propelled grenade” -a.k.a. a chicken skewer.

Neatorama recently wrote a post about the likelihood of a driver having road rage being directly related to the number of bumper stickers on their car. The study performed by the Colorado State University at Fort Collins showed that drivers with bumper stickers were 16% more likely to have road rage than those that didn’t. Things such as car model and condition were shown to have no impact on the likelihood a driver has road rage.
