Inflatable Captain’s Chair Posted: 01 Apr 2012 11:00 AM PDT Given the release date, we were convinced this was another of ThinkGeek’s April Fools pranks, but this inflatable captain’s chair is real. Too bad it only holds 120 pounds, so Kirk himself couldn’t sit on it.

Quadruplets Posted: 01 Apr 2012 10:00 AM PDT Improv Everywhere strikes again – loading up a NYC park with eight sets of identical quadruplets, making the real world look like some sort of VFX trick, and messing with the heads of passersby.

Dunk Lamp Posted: 01 Apr 2012 09:00 AM PDT Designed by Karl Zahn, the Dunk lamp will delight and torture basketball fans. The hoop begs you to play ball with it, but the fragile fluorescent bulb – not to mention the price – tells you otherwise.

Grizzly Bear Plays with Trainer Posted: 01 Apr 2012 08:00 AM PDT A grizzly bear play wrestles with his trainer in what appears to be a film or TV shoot. The bear seems a lot more loving than these wolves, but his weight and strength still tires out his friend. Good boy!

Wooden Lampshade Posted: 31 Mar 2012 02:30 PM PDT Youtuber rikkitikkiberger captured the long process of lathing that woodturner Soren Berger uses to make one of his unique lampshades. Don’t worry, he repurposes all that scrap material.

Arthur vs. The Cone Posted: 31 Mar 2012 01:30 PM PDT Poor Arthur had an injury to his ears, and had to wear one of those stupid plastic cones. Needless to say, he didn’t like it one bit – and even once he admitted his fate, he never quite got the hang of it.

A Perfect Vacuum Posted: 31 Mar 2012 12:30 PM PDT Australian painter Jeremy Geddes often uses space travelers in urban environments as a motif in his hyperreal/surreal work. The results are amazing dreamlike images like these.
