Leatherman Skeletool

It’s the multi-tool you might actually carry around with you, with a few essential functions—a knife, screwdriver, pliers and a bottle opener—but surprisingly little weight. At 5 ounces, Leatherman claims this is the lightest full-size multi-tool ever (less than full-size being those tiny keychain models).

I’m normally okay with the creativity and dedication it takes to participate in cosplay, but this instance just pisses me off.

I’ve never really been a gigantic Star Wars fan, but I must [...]

It has been Dethoner’s ongoing quest to cover all things bacon and I will continue that tradition with these bacon-flavored mints.
Each one of these mints tastes like a delicious slice of crispy bacon with just a hint of mint flavor to give it that extra punch!
They were even able to replicate crispy bacon? Wow, [...]

…comes the Hyperbike.
The circumference of an eight foot diameter wheel is roughly twenty-five feet and cadence, or the rate at which a person pedals, is most comfortable at a rate of 13 beats every 15 seconds. Gearing that allows an operator to rotate the wheels four times each pedal cycle, or at a [...]

A 23-year old Serb was found dead and half-eaten in the bear cage of Belgrade Zoo at the weekend during the annual beer festival.
The man was found naked, with his clothes lying intact inside the cage. Two adult bears, Masha and Misha, had dragged the body to their feeding corner and reacted angrily when keepers [...]
