HANNSpree 32-Inch 720p HDTV Doesn’t Look Weird At All

hannsvibewhite_12-1.jpgHANNSpree, maker of TV sets in the shape of baseballs, French fry containers and worse, is now shipping its line of HDTVs that actually look normal. This 32-inch HANNSvibewhite widescreen LCD, first teased late last year, gives you 720p goodness at a price that’s not entirely unreasonable: $1,150.

Those two speakers can either cling to the bottom or be removed, so you can lift and separate them just like a Playtex living bra. Hmm, a bra-shaped TV—are you reading this, HANNSpree?

Maybe that $1,150 price tag is a rip, though. Hey, if you want a great deal on a HANNSpree set, you’ll like this one better, a 32-incher without the fancy speakers for $500. – Charlie White

Radio-Controlled Car Goes Full Size, Man Inside


Radio-controlled cars are toys, right? Well, not this one, where the crew of the Brit TV series TopGear runs a full-sized radio-controlled car through a muddy obstacle course. Looks like it’s not easy to control, as the two guys try it out on each other. Must be a weird feeling! – Charlie White

Hypersonic generally refers to

Twirl-a-Squirrel Makes Your Selective Animal Charity Easier


Squirrels are the natural enemy of the birdfeeder. There are tons of contraptions out there designed to make sure only birds have access to the delicious seed contained within, from long arms suspending the feeders off the edge of the porch to your dad in a second-story window with a bb gun. Well, the awesomely named "Twirl-a-Squirrel" combines the efficiency of method #1 with the entertainment value of method #2.

It works by spinning rapidly around whenever something with enough weight climbs aboard. So when a pesky squirrel tries to pilfer some seed, he'll suddenly find himself on spinning deathtrap, one that's guaranteed to give him the old heave-ho much to the entertainment of everyone but the squirrel involved. –Adam Frucci

Don’t stop part II

I have just learned that casting for the next Rocky movie is almost over. My sources say that Rocky VII is to be focused on the career switch of The Italian Stallion’s son from businessman to boxer, and that the kid in this video is the front runner for the role:
