Wear the Kapten & Son Midnight Mesh Watch with Any Outfit
There aren't many outfits an all black watch wouldn't go well with. Suits of any color, at tux, shorts and a t-shirt, the ragged scraps of an international vagabond. They all get classed up with a bit of matte black. It's why the Midnight Mesh watch from Kapten & Son…

Toyota Built a Real-Life Tonka Truck

‘War Machine’ Puts Brad Pitt in Afghanistan
We're probably only just starting to delve into what US involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan means for pop culture, but if War Machine is any indication, we're in for some great, weird movies. Brad Pitt is in top form, as he usually is when he gets to put on an unusual…
How to Make the Cubanos from ‘Chef’
Cubanos were one of our top 3 sandwiches long before we saw Chef, so even we were surprised when the movie made them look better than any we'd seen. The problem was, the movie never lays out a recipe, so even though we know approximately what goes on them, we'd just…

The First Teaser Trailer for “IT”
Plenty of people developed a deep seated and lifelong fear of clowns after their first viewing of IT, in the same way most people born between 1960 and 1970 won't go in the ocean anymore. And apparently coulrophobia is one of those cultural touchstones, because an IT remake is on its way to…
Justice League’s First Official Trailer
It seems like DC can't catch a break. Of their three recent releases, only Man of Steel got even a lukewarm reception and even then, audiences and critics had some serious problems with Zach Snyder's Superman.

Goby’s Electric Toothbrush Cleans Better and for Just as Long as the Dentist Recommends
We're never really sure if people like brushing their teeth. It could be something that you grow to like, like onions or broccoli, or it could be something you pretend to like so you seem like an adult, like onions or broccoli. But if there were ever a toothbrush company…
The Dartboard that Makes Everyone a Champion
When we're at a bar with a dartboard, it's only a matter of time before we start pestering the bartender for ammunition. But, level of intoxication aside, we only ever approach an intermediate skill level. Seems like we're not the only ones, although for Mark Rober, the engineering background means…
Hobo Coins are Based on Depression Era Coin Carvings
During the Great Depression, the wandering unemployed found some artistic expression in carving new portraits and scenes into coinage, most popularly the Buffalo Nickel. Since then, genuine carved coins have become valuable pieces of US History and collectors aren't likely to want to part with them. Now, Chris Ovdiyenko has taken…

The Lamborghini-Inspired Helicopter
The body of Bell Helicopter's FCX-001 looks more like something we'd expect out of Elon Musk's Hyperloop. Or maybe a stealth redesign of the Huey (also designed by Bell, wouldn't you know). This angular, late-20th century looking chopper comes from a challenge Bell issued to its designers. The company wanted…
