Wonderful news: apparently my only remaining love in life might be slowly killing me. That's right -- box-springs may act as giant radiation-spewing antennas, filling our bodies with the nasty while we sleep. And all this from trying to figure out why breast cancer is 10% more likely to appear in the left boobie than the right. GOD, JUST TAKE ME NOW! *eying margarita on nightstand* Whoa whoa whoa, not so fast big guy -- I've been saved.

The research, carried out by Hallberg Independent Research and the Karolinska Institute, both in Sweden, attempts to correlate the fact that most people tend to sleep on their right side and that the length of a box spring mattress in America is exactly the right length to make it act as an amplifier for FM and TV waves. "Thus, as we sleep on our coil-spring mattresses, we are in effect sleeping on an antenna that amplifies the intensity of the broadcast FM/TV radiation," writes Scientific American. "Asleep on these antennas, our bodies are exposed to the amplified electromagnetic radiation for a third of our life spans." The radiation would be the strongest almost a meter above the surface of the box spring, which would mean that the side of your body that you're not sleeping on would get hit the hardest. In most cases, that'd be your left.

Sounds pretty convincing, doesn't it? Too bad it's all fake research. I've got two words for you: Tempur-Pedic conspiracy. Kidding, I'm not really one of those crazy conspiracy theorists (It's those asshats over at Sleep Number and you know it!). Great, even our beds could be causing cancer [dvice] and Your Boxspring Could Be Acting as a Gigantic, Cancer-Causing Radiation Antenna [gizmodo]

What you're looking at is a 125-piece puzzle block that, when disassembled and reassembled properly, becomes a .45-caliber firearm with all the accouterments, including laser sight (pics after the jump). Now transform and shoot out! *bang!* Oooor just blast yourself in the leg.

Michigan machinist GarE Maxton makes many different types of interlocking solid puzzles of this type, this time, he made a Puzzle Pistol, a single shot 45 caliber muzzle loading pistol, called the Intimidator. The Intimidator Puzzle is composed of over 125 pieces made from brass, bronze, copper, aluminum, magnesium and steel. Once diassembled, about 20 of the pieces can be recombined to make a functioning single-shot pistol. Other parts of the puzzle separately and securely store "a customized set of tools, all necessary hardware, 45 caliber bullets, a standard sight, a laser sight, a cannister containing black powder pellets, a secure storage area for 209 shotgun primers, a spent primer removal tool and a ramrod for loading the bullets."

Amazing! Granted not as amazing as it would have been if it turned into a Chinese finger trap, but I still give it a 9/10. What do you mean it deserves a 10? But you're the only 10 in my book. I'm kidding you dirty 4! Hit the jump for two more worthwhile pictures of all the pieces dissembled, and a shot(!) of the gun.

So Porsche has decided to go forward and produce the Spyder 918 hybrid, which, up until now, was strictly conceptual. Did I mention it'll cost around $650,000? Because it will. Yeah, I just pre-ordered two. Didn't I, Hot Wheels? High rolla, HIGH ROLLA!

A 3.4-liter V8 petrol burner is combined with electric motors to put out 500bhp, while featuring the mind-altering acceleration to go from a standing start to 62mph in just 3.2 seconds. Topping out at 198mph and offering a very respectable 78mpg fuel economy... The cost? That hasn't been officially announced yet, but estimates peg it around the $650,000 mark. Don't worry, though -- it'll be eligible for the $7,500 federal tax credit.

Well thank God for the federal tax credit. I know that's what I'm concerned about when I'm wiping my ass with diamond-studded toilet paper. Did I mention my commode is solid gold? Which -- you know how they say you can't polish a turd? They've never seen one sparkling at the bottom of my bowl. Hit the jump for a couple more shots of the "yes, yes I would have sex with that car."

Like this: creating a special team of characters that spell out a cute message. Alternatively, grow a pair of Poké Balls and ask her out to her face. Huh? What do you mean I'm being too harsh?! A wild WHINER appears. GW uses STFU and stop crying or I'll beat you. It's super effective. Yes, as a matter of fact I did just whip your ass. NOW GET IN THIS BALL. That said, this should probably be saved for something more meaningful like a wedding proposal. So buddy -- how'd you, you know, pop the question? "Pokémon Red." LOLWUT?!?! The Pokemon-Powered Pick-Up Line [kotaku] Thanks to Hairy Mary, who isn't as hairy as she'd lead you to believe. Kidding, I have no idea.

Why are there so many conceptual toasters? Are you folks really having trouble using the ones you have? I mean, not to brag or anything, but I can toast bread with over a 60% success rate. Did I mention I'm batting over 80% on cooking Ramen noodles? I know, I know, I'm a culinary dreamboat. Anyway, this is the Toast/E/R Defibrillator designed by Shay Carmon. It's a toaster that looks like a defibrillator. It's almost as clever as a home telephone that looks like a defibrillator, but less funny when you prank-call your grandma. Haha -- you just killed her! Hit the jump for one more shot if you care about saving this bread.

As many of you may know because you haven't slept since its release on Tuesday, Starcraft II was just released. And what better way to celebrate than a stop-motion LEGO homage to the original? I mean, besides just playing the new one. I'm picking up my copy tomorrow and plan on staying up allllllll night. It's gonna be just like a high school sleepover, except without having to masturbate in my sleeping bag as quietly as possible. Per the video maker's comments at Machinima:

Lego Starcraft: Brick Rush The blue Terran forces face off against the red Protoss threat in a classic battle for map domination and vespian gas!

Oh man, vespene gas. That's some toxic-ass stuff right there. Reminds me of the time I ran to the fridge for another beer and came back to catch my dog licking the last of the curry out of my bowl on the coffee table. I made her sleep in the kitchen that night and, no lie -- her ass melted the linoleum. Hit it for the worthwhile video if you're into Starcraft, LEGO, stop-motion videos, or just pissing time away at work (if you're here you have to be into at least one).
