It’s so common it’s a cliche: game geeks’ girlfriends and wives never get any action. For some ridiculous reason, video games are all too frequently more compelling to this dork set of society than their partner’s jubblies. JennyLC Chowdhury, an Interactive Telecommunications grad student at NYU, has created a possible solution to this problem with [...]

Neato Gadget: Chorks!

I’d like to say that I’m all about art, neat gadgets, and fine cuisine, but the truth is I’m still stuck in sopho-moronic sex, drugs, and rock and roll phase. [may not be a "phase"] Nevertheless, here’s a nifty invention that does take me a step in the aforementioned direction: The Chork.
Combining the basic idea [...]

Screaming Hand!

Fanboys (and that rare and wonderful breed of women, the elusive Fangirls) cheer for the stupid and yet so cool release of Jim Phillips’ Screaming Hand. It’s a hand, and it’s screaming. That’s it. Why is it so cool, because it’s blue? Because I’m a loser?
I’m looking at this thinking in no uncertain terms that [...]

For some reason this picture just cracks me up, and I can’t explain why. At least not easily.

Most of the time we like to post up images of bad, really bad, and super bad ink that only complete dickheads bereft of the clue would wear, but every once in a while we come across something that just works so well that we have to throw it up here instead. This one kind [...]

Astonishing what the average mortal can accomplish when he has a sick dream and the wherewithal to realize it. (The videographer put it best when he asks if there is a history of mental illness in the driver’s family.)
It’s a bumpy, noisome ride, could use a nice fiberglass cover, and I doubt that, in [...]

In the grand scheme of things, it seems like just about everything except water is carcinogenic these days, and even with good ol’ H2O, the source must often be called into question. But the latest finding from the Ecology Center is a bit of a shocker: The intoxicating scent of a brand new automobile is [...]

It’s no secret that one’s lifestyle contributes greatly to one’s overall health, fitness, and sense of well-being. However, it’s alarming how few people seem to realize that, from the mattresses upon which we sleep to the shoes in which we walk, so many of the items that we use in our daily existences either help [...]

Michael Patrick, writer for Beauty News NYC, has gone where few would dare. While it’s becoming increasingly commonplace for men to shave their boys and prune the upper hedges, to mix metaphors, only the rarified gent has the stones to get them (gulp) waxed. Patrick took this one for the team and reported back:
Diane started [...]

All I can say is that this looks like fun, and for many men who haven’t taken Biology of Women in college, it’s probably going to prove to be educational as well. Here’s the author’s own description:
Vaginas are a fingerprint. Captured in this book along with fun puzzles and games is the uniqueness of [...]

The Brady Campaign, the nation’s foremost anti-gun group, maintains that around 39% of this country’s population are gun owners, and that in this country there are somewhere around 192,000,000 guns. The NRA’s numbers are much higher, but regardless, figues like these seem to have given photographer Kyle Cassidy the inspiration for his forthcoming book, Armed [...]

Normally, this column features items for men, questions sent in by readers on the matter of their own fashion and style choices, or things we see out and about that are decidedly man-centric. But then I saw this alarming new potential trend emerge I knew I had to put it before the jury because I [...]
