You might not know it, but there are some downsides to using your baby as a mop. There’s no simple squeeze mechanism to wring out the dirty water, you can’t leave your baby in a bucket of dirty water, and the main reason… society says it’s unethical to use a baby as a mop. But that’s not stopping online novelty apparel shop Better Than Pants from offering their bizarre new product called the Baby Mop.

From the commentary underneath the product you can’t really tell if people are taking the Baby Mop seriously or are actually deranged: “Do you they come in adult sizes for when my hubbie crawls back from the pub?” and “does it come with a handle?” However, it’s plainly obvious the Baby Mop is purely intended to incite laughter, confusion and articles like the one I’m writing now. Like they say, haters gonna hate; and they possibly have no sense of humor either. My favorite comment: “You people need Jesus” – to which someone responded, “Why, does Jesus mop floors?” Good one.

Ever find yourself wanting to take a nap, but can’t because there’s too much light and/or noise? Well, want no more with the Ostrich Pillow.

Why is it called the Ostrich Pillow? Maybe it’s because ostriches were thought to bury their head in the ground when in danger, or maybe it’s because the cozy pillow looks like an ostrich head — probably a little of both.

What we do know, is that while it certainly will make you LOOK ridiculous, it will definitely block out invasive light and probably dampen any ambient sounds.

Please allow me to nerd out for a moment. Remember the 1984 film The Terminator – where the audience can see the world from the T-800’s POV and there is all sorts of pertinent information, like instantaneous analysis to determine who’s an enemy and who’s not, written in that funny 80s computer font (text and font actually taken from the Apple II’s assembly code)?

In the eighties, lots of films painted a portrait of a distant, utopian future and it’s radical technologies, but the future seems to be creeping up to us faster and faster. The day is here when we all might soon enjoy the same advanced vision with readily available and purchasable devices for augmented reality.

Out of the hands of the military and imaginary robots from the future, devices like Google Glass are making it possible to view the world like we’ve never seen it before. Yesterday, Vuzix unveiled its own version of see through augmented reality video eyewear with a futuristic name the Star 1200 XL.

There are some days when you think, wouldn’t it be great to have a briefcase that will keep everything safe? If you have a job where bullets are constantly whizzing by and you’ve grown tired of explaining the holes in your briefcase, then this bulletproof attaché may be just the thing for you.

Yes, it’s bulletproof.

The Tegra-Lite Bulletproof Attaché is certainly not for those with normal, boring jobs who have weak arms. Oh no. There are only 28 of these bad boys available and it’ll cost $6,000. If that’s not enough, without any documents inside, the attaché weighs a whopping 12 pounds. So you can stay fit while you look cool.

If you’ve ever wished you could have all the cool gadgets that Bond has, wish no more. With these Freeze Ray Laser cufflinks, you’ll be one step closer in achieving your dream.

So maybe these cufflinks aren’t actual lasers that can burn a hole through steel. They may be more like laser pointers so you could really confuse your cat. They also make pew-pew sounds for more authenticity. If for some reason you’re being held up by your arch-nemesis, the noise combined with the red light might frighten them long enough for you to make your quick escape.

Researchers from the University of South Carolina have developed a T-shirt that doubles up as an ultra powerful battery but remains flexible and doesn’t do annoying things like electrocute the wearer.

Professor Xiaodong Li is the man behind the breakthrough at the USC’s Department of Mechanical Engineering.

Li and his team bought a T-shirt from a local discount store and then soaked it in a fluoride solution. The T-shirt was then baked at a high temperature without any oxygen in order to avoid combustion. What came out of the oven was a T-shirt that was made out of activated carbon fibres instead of cellulose and could store energy while remaining flexible.

For the practical nerd that needs to dress professionally for work, there is the Dark Knight Rises Batman Belt Buckle.

If Batman can wear a utility belt, there is no reason why we – as concerned do-gooder citizens of Gotham – cannot adorn our own belts in a similar fashion as we trudge on the dangerous road to work along the city streets.

And this badass batwing stretches six inches from tip to metallic black tip. Does it look like it could double as a weapon to strike down the escaped inmates of Arkham Asylum with? It does!
