What is the worth of a human soul?

I guess the free market is one way to find out. Gerald Fraller is selling his own soul on his personal website. How much you wanna bet he tried eBay first? You donate funds for a chance to win my soul. Each dollar donated gets one entry in the drawing. The proceeds go towards helping me change my life. I am also going to use a large portion of the money to start a foundation to try and help people that are suffering from depression. ... In return for your donations and support, I offer the winner certain... READ ON

Hummer vs Schoolbus?

Wow. I thought Volvos from the '80s were safe vehicles, but check out the unbelievably minor damage this school bus took when a Hummer careened into it. Luckily, the driver of the wrecked vehicle was rushed to a hospital. As for the bus, there were no kids on board, and the driver seems to be doing fine. Makes you wonder, though, if this is the sort of hurt a Hummer takes when it runs into something, perhaps more rappers need to start pimping out school buses. IndyStar photo and story via... READ ON

What a catch!

You can keep telling yourself there are other fish in the sea (or lake, or whatever); but they're probably not as big as this one. According to The Daily Mail, Carl Smith and Dave Jones landed a new European record when they caught this 8 ft long, 226 lb wels catfish in Spain. The beast took more than 90 minutes to reel in, and the pair has nicknamed the dead fish Jaws. Click here to read more. Link via... READ ON

Filthy/Rich!

If you've been wondering what could get your kids to wash their hands more often (incessant nagging aside), perhaps the lure of cash will do the trick. This holiday season Bits and Pieces is offering one of the stranger stocking stuffers I've seen: a pear-berry soap, where each bar feels like winning the lottery! Rolled up in each bar is either a $1, $5, $10, $20 or $50 dollar bill. Of course, you'll have to do plenty of scrubbing up to get to the prize inside. Individual Money Bars cost $14.99, and are...

Yo quiero PlayStation 3's?

According to G4's TheFeed, Taco Bell is joining the frenzy for the new PlayStation3, and offering $12,500 worth of tacos, gorditas, or whatever else on their menu to the first person willing to trade his or her game console with the franchise. While the "lucky" gamer will walk away with a life time supply of pseudo-Mexican fast food, the chain plans to donate the video game system to a local Boys and Girls Club. For more information on how to earn the Taco Bell Bucks, follow the link below (note: Taco Bell... READ ON

Strange 10-legged rocking chair

The first time I glanced at this, I wondered if my eyes doth deceive me. This insect-y looking rocking chair is easily one of the most strangest pieces of furniture I've ever seen, but definitely super creative as well. If you're struggling for things to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, you can always be grateful that you're not the floor under one of these. Link via... READ ON

Carbonated Turkey (and Sides!)

If you can't stomach the thought of preparing a Thanksgiving meal, but still want all that dinner table flavor, get yourself a Holiday Pack of Jones Soda. While the premium drinks company is famous for it's unusual flavors (fish taco and salmon being just a few of their strange concoctions), their Holiday Packs tend to sell out rather quickly. This year's flavors include: Turkey and Gravy soda, Sweet Potato soda, Dinner Roll Soda, Pea Soda, and Antacid Flavored Soda. Plus, the latter comes with a medicinal... READ ON

Insane Einstein Optical Illusion!

I read about this optical illusion on Digg, and the video demonstration of it is pretty crazy. Essentially, sculptor Bryan Parkes and manufacturer David Burder have taken a hollow mask shaped like Einstein, turned it around so that you're looking at the inside, and then put it up to the light... and the effect is SPECTACULAR! As the video shows, when you walk around the room, the head looks like it's turned towards you-- not just the eyes, but the whole face. Pretty crazy. Link via... READ ON

Eggshell, Burnt Sienna and Prison Pink?

While you might be able to find the soothing Pepto-Bismol shade at your local paint shop, chances are that after this Monday, you won't see the color lining any Kansas City prison walls anymore. That's because local police have deemed the think pink color test a total failure. Back in the early 90's the KCPD was quick to jump on the interior decoration bandwagon, after studies showed that prisoners were more likely to be calmer and better behaved in rooms doused in pink. After 15 years of trying it out,... READ ON

The Sweet Strums of the Air Guitar

Yahoo News is reporting today that Australian researchers have just developed a t-shirt that turns the sweet music of air guitar-ing into a reality. Using motion sensors built into the garment's "elbows", the shirt relays the rock star miming to a wireless computer which turns the fake chords and windmills into music. And while some might be confused as to why air guitarists would find such a shirt necessary (it seems antithetical to the concept), others might be more confused by the fact that the rocking...
