We all hate to see 404 errors appear in our browser when we really expect to see some meaningful content. What can webmasters do to avoid upsetting their users? Give them something to do when a page cannot be found! Homokaasu.org aims to do just that with their breakout flash mini game that loads up when a 404 error is generated. Nice way to spend a couple minutes, until you remember what you were actually doing. Homestarrunner.com is another website that aims to bring a smile to an otherwise unhappy visitor with a custom 404 page. For this one, you will need for it to load and have your speakers on to enjoy it. Feel free to drop links to others that you find in the comments.

Why spend thousands on implants that are prone to leak, or waste cash on creams that probably won’t work? If you really want to increase your breast size, grab something that will actually do the trick! Apparently, the B2Up Bust Up Gum product is supposed to be able to increase breast size by up to 80% if chewed 3-4 times per day. How does it accomplish such an amazing feat? The gum is made with contains the plant extract Pueraria mirifica, which releases a few natural chemicals into the chewers body. The chemicals are very close in chemical structure to oestradiol, the main human oestrogen. The end result are fuller breasts, nicer hair, and increased blood circulation.

In an effort to make ruining your lungs an even easier affair, Israel company Gasham Enterprises has developed a cigarette that can be lit without a match, lighter, or any other type of portable flame. Instead, the tip of the cigarette has sulfur and phosphorus built right in. All you need to do is rub the cigarette against the side of the pack, and it ignites. You would think that a rough action like this would destroy the cigarette, crumbling it to pieces - but these cigarettes are reinforced with bamboo and tobacco leaf to stop them from breaking.

It’s always a great joy to mod things for no real reason other than to be able to prove to yourself that you could do it. It’s even better when the mod actually has a purpose, and can save you some serious cash at the same time. A perfect example of this is Jake Ludington’s homemade microphone pop screen. You see, when talking into a mic, the p’s and b’s can sometimes spike the audio signal which distorts the sound. A pop screen solves this problem, as it absorbs whatever it is that causes that spike in the first place. I have casually shopped for pop screens before, and they aren’t cheap. That is what makes Jake’s so appealing. All you need is a 6” embroidery hoop, generic pantyhose, 1/2-inch split flex tubing, 2 feet 10-2 wire, 7.5” black zip ties, 1 1/4” compression fitting (from plumbing), and a 1” spring clamp. Get all this together, and it will cost less than ten bucks. Full assembly instructions at Jake’s site.

Every time I go down to visit my mom in South Jersey I get the living crap scared out of me. That’s because the neighbor’s two dogs lunge up to their gate with the biggest roar of of a bark imaginable. A little device like this one should help prevent any future heart-attacks on my part. Essentially, it emits a high pitch that only dogs can hear whenever they start barking. The thought here is that the dog will eventually learn that they should not bark, lest that want toey should hear that annoying sound. Won’t keep your house from being burglarized though.
(Thanks Fresh!)
