FUN VIDEO: The Subway Rickroll


Skip the first minute (that’s just New York boring bla), then watch Oregon University’s accapella group try to shine some West Coast joy on an unflappable East Coast public transit system. How fun is that? It’s the unmovable rock doing battle with an all powerful force. Who will win?

GET: Ferris Bueller’s Car


Well, Cameron’s Dad’s car really, but this the car. The actual car from the movie. Amazingly, it’s not a Farrarri, it’s a replica, and I have no idea what £30,000 – £40,000 translates into in dollars (an arm and a leg probably), but no single vehicle has ever represented freedom so perfectly. Check the complete details after the jump and, if you wind up making the buy, give me a ride sometime; We’ll cut school together. Yup.

FUN READ: The World’s Most Ingenious Thief


Nothing’s funner than a smart crime story. WIRED Magazine has, well, what might be the smartest; Gerald Blanchard, the man who could steal anything… and pretty much did. One of his more ingenous  heists began before the bank was even finnished being built. Amazing. Have a read – it’s good times – just don’t get any bright ideas.

GET: The Pet High Chair


you treat ‘em like kids, right? You might as well have ‘em at the table. Hell, if you’re a dual dog owner, you could get a matching set and let the duo dine like civilized folks. Hammacher Schlemmer thinks of everything. How fun is that?
