So the old lady’s birthday or maybe your anniversary… or St. Patrick’s day present? Anyway, its a pink fridge, for a girl. Apparently it is a glass door refridgerator that also comes in 10 stunning glass door colors - pink, black, turquoise, white, pale blue, silver, red, cream, lime green and mid blue. They even go to say that ‘it will perfectly blend into any kitchen.’ What kind of kitchen do you need in order for a lime green or pink fridge to easily blend into? Crazy, I know. It is a decent size at 21.5 cu ft. Buy it from CAPLE Appliances here. (No prices listed)
This one is a little creepy, even for me. It is the actual jacket that held Brandon Lee’s guts in after he was shot and killed while on the set of The Crow (1994). It is said to be authentic because it still has the blood stains on the lower back right side. “Black leather mid-length coat by the Leather Warehouse, size 38, bought for Lee… Together with a letter of authenticity form Darryl Levine, the film wardrobe supervisor.”
It is up for auction from ‘The Pugliese Pop Culture Collection‘ - “may well be the finest collection focusing on 20th Century pop culture ever privately assembled. Approximately eight hundred and fifty of the most extraordinary objects imaginable from the worlds of motion pictures, popular music, magic, television and politics were gathered over several decades by Anthony Pugliese, a man who might well be described as a true visionary. A small sampling of the Collection’s treasures include Houdini’s straightjacket, the Maltese Falcon statuette, Christopher Reeves’ Superman suit, John Lennon’s Abbey Road suit, Elvis Presley’s personal rifle collection and the gun that Jack Ruby used to kill Lee Harvey Oswald.”
Bidding starts at $7,500.00, Estimated to go for around $15,000.00 to $25,000.00 . Place your bids here.

Here’s one for all you sickos out there. Buy a human skull, why not? You can, so do it. It beats digging the graves yourself. Browse The Bone Room’s extensive inventory of all things postmortem.
We chose to feature our favorite, ‘Sgt. Skullzors’ aka Skull #943, who we think has the most character out of all the skulls. Here is a little information to get you two acquainted:
Skull #943
Male from China
9 teeth; 18 lost post-mortem, 5 lost ante-mortem, 1 cavity.
Damaged mandibular condyle.
Some cranial staining.
Take me home for only $450.00 !
But if you aren’t into all that freakydeeky stuff, The Bone Room also has some animal skulls and skeleton, framed insects from around the world, fossil specimens of all types, from dinosaur to mammoth, and (oh goodie!) natural and natural themed gifts and souvenirs!
New Iron Man movie coming out May 2nd. Despite it being yet another comic book adaptation that further proves there are no longer any original ideas in Hollywood (maybe the writers were getting paid the right amount before the strike?) the trailer is actually quite unexpectedly good.
“Injured by shrapnel embedded near his heart, he is ordered by his captors to assemble a missile for them, and they give him access to a workshop. He puts his creativity to use by assembling a bulletproof suit of power armor, complete with pacemaker and flamethrowers, and uses it to free himself”
Automotive design firm Ugur Sahin Design announced that it will be producing a limited run (100 units) of Chevrolet Corvette Z03 vehicles. With a full carbon fiber body, it boasts a twin turbo V8 engine that generates 500hp - 750hp. “The top package will be equipped with dual Tial/Garret oil lubricated and liquid cooled ceramic bearing turbochargers combined with a revolutionary Motec electronic engine management system”. Check out a Chevy load of pics here.

I guess it all starts with a virus that is held on a cool little pacman/apple symbol USB key. Just plug it in and it dl’s by itself. Using the Macbook’s built in accelerometer, the virus dismantles everything on your desktop and basically applies gravity to it. Your menus and icons will fall to the ground and bounce around as you shake your computer. Pretty neat, huh?
