This is a box with a switch. You may think flipping the switch makes it do something but what it’s going to perform is a completely useless action. So much so that it completely boggles the mind as to why it was made in the first place.

Why? Why? Why?

Watch the video to see what it does.

    No one likes a pack of cup noodles undercooked or too soggy so here’s a neat little Japanese gadget that holds the lid down and also lets you know that the noodles are ready to be eaten.

    cupman 2

    Simply pour hot water into the cup noodles, then place Cupman on the lid of the cup and wait until he loses his color. Once Cupman turns completely white, you’ll know it’s time to savor that tasty cup of instant noodles. 840 yen, AssistOn.

    Japanese Claw Machine: Catch a Live Crab

    japan-crab-ufo-catcher

    This claw machine or UFO catcher seen in Japan isn’t made differently from other machines, except that its contents meant to be prizes are really unusual. Instead of soft toys or candy, they are actual living crabs in a pool of water!

     

    The fate of the crab if you happen to catch it depends on yourself. I’d probably get it cooked for a nice dinner.

    wwii-german-fighter-motorcyle-sidecar 1

    Interesting mod of the motorcycle sidecar by Henrik Toth made of a World War II German fighter fuselage. It still looks cool without wings, but I wonder whether it’s street legal or not.
