Avril Lavigne Should Do The Bikini Thing More Often

Here are some shots of Avril Lavigne rocking a bikini in Malibu and doing a damn fine job of it. She really needs to ditch the punk rock look and show off more of her sexy side. She has a lot to off the world and I’m not talking about her shitty music.

Abandoned Houses of Super Villains

We admit, there is a certain beauty in decay (see our article), but the houses shown on this page hold not only historic and architectural value - they are also fascinating in a "Despicable Me" sort-of way: they all housed at one time the most notorious villains in Earth's history. Some of these residences are still standing, some are neatly maintained, while others are falling into disrepair - and today we have a rare opportunity to peek inside them and, perhaps, shudder: Stalin's Summer Residence in Kuntsevo, Moscow.

Sophie Turner Sure Can Dominate a Bikini

I think maybe this little bikini photo shoot that Sophie Turner did the other day moves her past Sophie Monk and into first place amongst my favorite hot nobodies named Sophie from Australia. In order for me to be sure though I am going to need both Sophies to hit the beach at the same time for a bikini-off. If you think I am kidding and that it will never happen, then apparently you haven’t been following these two babes’ attempts at becoming famous here in the States. It’s merely a matter of when, not if.

The Art of Discarded Lottery Tickets

Curious about how people spend their winnings after hitting it big with the lottery, collaborative artists Lauren Was and Adam Eckstrom channeled their research into astounding representational sculptures of dream desires like a Hummer, a yacht and a large home using scratch-off lottery tickets. Working under the moniker Ghost of a Dream, the duo specifically match the monetary value of the lottery tickets to the price of each item. For example, the "Dream Home" (pictured at top) is made out of $70,000 of discarded tickets, and is complete with impressive decor, such as a chandelier, framed portraits, an "antique" clock and vase with budding flowers.

High-Tech 2WD Ostoure Superbike Is Straight Out of Skynet's Garage

The Ostoure concept is a "super naked" motorcycle concept sprung from the mind of designer Mohammad Reza Shojaie and possibly Skynet. The Ostoure ("Legend" in Persian) boasts two-wheel drive, Bluetooth helmet support, HUD indicators, multiple radiators, and an AC system (?), although that's all hypothetical given the fact this puppy is a prototype design. Throw on some side-mounted Gatling guns and this would be right at home on the set of Terminator: Salvation.

Dual LED Safety Glasses

No matter how many times we hear the phrase, "Don't try this at home," we're going to do it at home. We're geeks! If we don't try it at home, the desire to try it will gnaw at our very soul until it's impossible to think about anything else. It's kinda like love, except it's love for duct tape or explosives. Or explosives made from duct tape. You know what it's like.

Strange Vehicles: Sikorsky X2

Amazingly the title for the Worlds Fastest Helicopter has stood since the mid-1980s. The previous record of 249 mph was held by a British Army Westland Lynx helicopter. As it stands at the moment, the Sikorsky X2's maximum recorded speed is 258 mph, but it's an unofficial top speed. To claim the official Guinness title they'll need to repeat the high-speed run with Guinness officials and their timing gear present. "The X2 Technology demonstrator’s latest flight is continuing to push the speed envelope, successfully flying approximately 50 knots faster than a traditional helicopter," said Jim Kagdis, Program Manager, Advanced Programs. "Vibration levels and aircraft performance have continued to meet or exceed our expectations, so we are pleased to report that all systems are ‘go’ in our mission to achieve a 250-knot cruise speed later this year."

Sir, Your Liver Is Ready: Behind the Scenes of Bioprinting

Say goodbye to donor lists and organ shortages. A biotech firm has created a printer that prints veins using a patients’ own cells. The device could potentially create whole organs in the future. “Right now we’re really good at printing blood vessels,” says Ben Shepherd, senior research scientist at regenerative-medicine company Organovo. “We printed 10 this week. We’re still learning how to best condition them to be good, strong blood vessels.” Most organs in the body are filled with veins, so the ability to print vascular tissue is a critical building block for complete organs. The printed veins are about to start testing in animal trials, and eventually go through human clinical trials. If all goes well, in a few years you may be able to replace a vein that has deteriorated (due to frequent injections of chemo treatment, for example) with custom-printed tissue grown from your own cells.
