What Happened To Bounty Hunting?: Bobba Fett Playing The Zelda Theme On Accordion

Posted by Ry on Mar 10 2010 | Cool Stuff, Interesting News

This is a video of once-renowned bounty hunter Boba Fett reduced to peddling Zelda tunes on the accordion for handouts. What happened Boba? And please don't say Dog. That guy couldn't catch a bounty if his mullet depended on it. And it probably does. Hair product doesn't grow on trees you know! Jesus, It's not toothpaste. Another worthwhile video of Boba playing some Indiana Jones and Saria's Song (Lost Woods theme) after the jump.

Clever, Very Clever: NES Game Harmonicas

Posted by Ry on Mar 10 2010 | Cool Stuff, Interesting News

nes-cartridge-harmonicas.jpg I don't think I need to explain the cleverness behind these harmonicas, but in case there's anybody out there that isn't familiar with the NES and its intricacies, I'll copy/paste a quote here for you because I care am lazy.
If you grew up in the 80's and played video games, at one point in your childhood you had to blow on an NES cart, or inside the console itself, to get it to recognize a game...At this point it's almost become cliche to bring it up whenever the conversation turns to classic video games, but that didn't stop one clever modder from attempting to turn a profit on Nintendo's folly.
eBay seller nes_harmonica is the one behind the modding and currently has Super Mario 3, Legend of Zelda and Dick Tracy models for sale. But you know what he's not selling? Happiness. Because, I don't know if you knew this or not, but money can't buy happiness. But it will pay for booze and escorts, which is as close as you can get. eBay via Clever Modder Hopes To Turn A Profit On An Old Nintendo Folly With Harmonica NES Carts [ohgizmo] Thanks to cookies & cheese, who, no matter how hard I try, still doesn't sound very appetizing.

No, Seriously: A Car That Runs On Coffee

Posted by Ry on Mar 10 2010 | Cool Stuff, Interesting News

coffee-car.jpg This is a real car that runs on coffee. Like, for real, dude. You just drop in, and just smack the lip, WAH-BAP!, drop down, SAN-BAAAAHHH!! And then after that, you just drop in, just ride the barrel and get pitted, so pitted.
Nicknamed the Car-puccino, it has been created using a converted 1988 Volkswagen Scirocco bought for £400 and chosen for its resemblance to the time-travelling DeLorean in the movie Back To The Future. The car will be driven the 210 miles between Manchester and London powered only by roasted coffee granules. The team calculates the Carpuccino will do three miles per kilo of ground coffee - the equivalent of about 56 espressos per mile. The journey will use about 70 kilos (154 lbs) of ground coffee which, at supermarket prices of between £13 and £26 a kilo depending on brand and quality, will cost....between 25 and 50 times the £36 cost of petrol for the journey.
You can click HERE to see an info-graphic on how the car works, but based on the efficiency, I'm afraid we're gonna have to go ahead and scratch coffee off the list of alternative fuels. Hey, it still gets me up and going in the morning though. But so do boner pills. Put a handful of those in your engine and internally combust 'em! You will be driving ALL. NIGHT. LONG. (Best performed with a passenger) The cappuccino car that runs on coffee... so will you have to use the filter lane? [dailymail] Thanks to Jeffrey and 23degrees, one of which is an acute angle, the other of which might be the dude.
