If you enjoy Mario Kart Wii as much as I do, check out this radio controlled Mario Kart. This will probably be the closest thing you’ll get to real life Mario Kart. Unfortunately, this 1/32 scale model of Mario riding his kart can only go forward, backwards, or 360 degree turns. However, this toy will certainly keep the Mario Kart fans (and kiddies) happy.

If you’re like me and get little to no exercise, this alarm clock might be up your alley. Called “Shape Up!”, this dumbbell shaped clock sports an LCD at one end of the device, which displays the time and requires you to do 30 reps to turn it off. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen alarm clocks that require “energy” to turn off (see here, here, and here.) What separates Shape Up! from the rest is that not only will it annoy you, but it will provide you with a daily morning workout.
It has been rumored for over a year that Microsoft has plans to create a portable handheld gaming system to rival the likes of Nintendo’s DS and Sony’s PSP. Unfortunately, Microsoft is keeping a tight lid on the truth. However, the artists over at T3 Magazine couldn’t resist with their speculation on what such a device would look like from Microsoft. So, they decided to take matters into their own hands. T3 has published their rendition of the possible mobile device, combining a Zune, Xbox 360, and phone into one sleek package. In fact, the hybrid device looks pretty damn good. Although, what’s up with the flat-looking analog sticks? Regardless, the concept calls for 64GB of Flash storage — GTA IV on-the-go anyone?
Sometimes you just need to brush your teeth when you’re not at home, like say coming back to work from lunch. The problem is that most people don’t bring their toothbrushes outside their homes. Designer Yuanyan Li may have just come up with a solution. Called the Any Brush, it is essentially a disposable, slip-on toothbrush for your finger. Simply slide it onto your finger and brush away! The Any Brush comes in a very compact package that makes it extremely portable and even features a compartment to hold toothpaste. The best part is that the entire product is environmentally safe when discarded.
Were you excited over the latest Indiana Jones film (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull)? Hopefully, this toy will get you just as excited.

Who doesn’t like warm, delicious waffles? How about warm, delicious waffle keyboards? Designed by Chris Dimino, the Corona-Matic Waffle Iron is actually an old, useless typewriter turned into something very useful. A waffle maker that forms keyboard-shaped deliciousness.
All you’ll need is a waffle recipe and some maple syrup…

From my favorite Photoshop guru Pixeloo, comes Stewie Griffin from Family Guy. Just as disturbing as his Mario and Homer Simpson ‘untooning’, but equally awesome.

Not sure if this was just a one-time stunt or if the Taiwanese man regularly eats while riding, but it appears the police in Zhanghua are looking to fine the man, that is, if they can find him.
In case you were wondering what the man says in the beginning: “These noodles smells really good, but I am riding the motorbike, what should I do? Whatever!”
I’m impressed. Both for his riding and chopstick skills.
