I’m going to go out and say that this could be considered quite a literal ‘No Fuck Friday’, because I don’t care how realistic your love doll of choice looks, if you ever find yourself having sex with an animatronic robot, you may as well be trying to have sex with the ‘It’s A Small [...]

Ototo has designed a bitchin’* little submarine that you fill with tea, and send off on an adventure into a cup of boiling water!
To make things more relatable, here’s a little reenactment of how things might go down. James Upworth, formerly an orphan, has had a hard life. James managed to climb his way up [...]

Now, I love the Segway as much as the next man. The style, the flair, the convenience. It’s a genius machine! But you know what really got my goad up about it? The standing. Man, who has the energy to stand. I’m a busy man! I need to conserve my energy for busy man activities, [...]

How often have you heard this:
“Mum! Mum! I want a lolly!”
And thought to youself: “boy, I wish there was a safe, medically tested way I could make that fucking kid shut up. I don’t care that it’s not mine. I want peace and I will get it any cost”. Kinda like the Bush administration. Ooooh, [...]
