Defibrillator Toaster

The ‘Defibrillator Toaster’ from Studio Ve revives your old bread. Beyond brilliant.

 

Anatomical Paper Torso

Ooooooo this is a bit clever…. It’s from artist Horst Klechle who created this incredible paper torso with removable organs for the Science Lab of the International School Nadi, Fiji. The sculpture is composed entirely from 200gsm white card and you can see more on Flickr here (via notcot).

Anatomy of a Twinkie

Great idea from photographer Dwight Eschliman – using the Twinkie label as his guide he recreated it’s ‘anatomy’ by disassembling and photographing each of it’s separate ingredients. From corn dextrin to animal shortening each ‘ingredient’ is photographed naked in its own petri dish.  Pop-science a go go thanks to a Twinkie and it’s 37 or so ingredients (via).

Got the bug then here is another Twinkie experiment:

Edible Science

Using doughnuts has got to be my favourite way to teach science – in this instance Kevin Van Aelst explains sell division with Krispy Kreme (via Nerdcore). This piece is entitled “Donut Mitosis” – oh yeah!

Berlin’s Space Station Cult

C-base is prepared for the day, when aliens from different galaxies want to reconquer the world. All visitors’ data is collected.

 

 

AWESOME. An underground cult living in a Berlin based space station.

After their great illegal tourist destination post, Vice continues to nail the ‘Rough Guide on weapons grade narcotics’ theme.

This is a bit of what they had to say…

In Berlin’s underground there are ruins of a 4.5-million-year-old space station that uses the local TV tower as a transmitter. This space station is called C-base because it is shaped like a C; about 300 people live in the different areas, which are divided into seven rotatable rings, each with some strange kind of meaning. Right after we entered the space station one of the young astronauts asked us to test a game he just programmed. So we ended up in a color fight on a huge touch screen. The kid spent the rest of the night sitting on his computer to optimize the game. Those C-base-members fulfill every nerd cliché you can imagine: They are wearing kilts the traditional way and are actually pretty nice.
