WineRack is THE Sports Bra of the Century

There’s two things in this world that the stereotypical man can’t live without: beer and boobs. Thanks to the makers of the Beer Belly, no man will go thirsty or visually unsatisfied. Aptly named the WineRack, it holds 25oz or 750ml of liquid in a bra like device. Not large enough for the average beer drinker, but who really cares when you’re taking a pull from your girls…bra? No actual pictures of the device seem to exist on the makers website, so a running theory is that they’re testing market demand with ‘preorders’. The device comes in small and medium, and is not recommended for the ‘well endowed’ ladies.

YouTube Costume: Love It or Leave It?

I absolutely love this geek chic Halloween costume idea—and there’s no skimpy outfit required! Take a few pieces of white bristol board, cut a whole in a the top and get busy with the markers to become an actual YouTube page! Featured on Core77, this costume requires little preparation and allows you to ‘think outside the box’ so to speak with your video title. This guy is definitely having fun in his YouTube “OMG! Awesome Party Guy Vid.” Too bad he only has one and a half stars. Do you love this costume as much as me? Let me know below! Thanks for passing this along Calamari!

Freecom ToughDrive 160GB

Buying a laptop hard drive and enclosure and simply building an external drive yourself is usually the cheapest way to go, but sometimes you just like to spend a few extra bucks and have the assembly part already done. And that’s part of the reason I like this ToughDrive from Freecom. It has a 160GB drive, and USB2.0 connectivity, but it’s the enclosure itself that makes it stand out.

The outside of the drive has a soft silicon cover while the inside has an anti-shock frame allowing it to stand up to a bit of abuse, including being dropped. But what I like most about the ToughDrive is the built-in USB cable. I have a couple of very slim external drives already, but I still have to throw in a USB cable whenever I take them with me, which I find pretty annoying. So I’d gladly opt for a short, built-in cable that I know I can never forget.

The ToughDrive 160GB is available directly from Freecom for $149.

How to Make Your Own LED Snap-O-Lantern

Whenever I went trick or treating as a kid, the scariest houses were the ones that had decorations that moved, lit-up or made spooky sounds. When I first read about the robotic Snap-O-Lantern, I immediately thought of the furnace scene in Home Alone when Kevin imagines it lighting-up and attacking him. Now you can spook all the trick or treaters at your house by creating a one of a kind Snap-O-Lantern from a mini pumpkin. Evil Mad Scientist explains step-by-step how to transform a plain pumpkin into an animated masterpiece that will open his LED eyes and slowly open his jaw every twenty seconds, then snap shut—promising to scare the daylights out of anyone!

Street Legal Ferrari FXX - As Elite As You Can Get

Dam that’sa HOT CAR!

For those who don’t know, the Ferrari FXX is kind of a ‘race-ready’ version of the Ferrari Enzo, and is far from street legal. In fact, the car costs $2.5 million and if you’re lucky enough to own one of the 30 in existence, you can only drive it on special track days at the Ferrari facilities.

But it seems one owner in Switzerland decided he didn’t want to be told when he could drive his $2.5 million investment, and so spent another $250,000 to make the car street legal. I really have no idea what goes into making a vehicle like this legal to drive on public roads, besides safety lighting, license plates and large payoffs to people at the department of motor vehicles. But if you want your car to stand out, driving the only street legal FXX on the planet is the way to go.

Let’s just hope this one doesn’t end up as a twisted wreck one day, like so many Enzos before it.
