Problem Light

This is a brilliant mashup between steampunkery and Venture Bros. I want one. Of course, I don't know it would ever go off, but still. I want one.

Sesame Street pinball clock

This Instructable shows you how you can make your very own clock, just like the one featured in the timeless Pinball Song from Sesame Street.

Now if somebody can make an alarmed version that actually plays the song, that somebody will be treated to a double word score, that's for damn sure.

Cat Tea

Because I'm just wondering.

Granted, I'm so allergic to cats that drinking cat tea would kill me stone dead. And if you're thinking of trying to poison me, I start itching when I enter a room cats only once thought about entering. So it's not the sort of thing you could surprise me with.

Stephen Fry

Okay, we're not ones for sleep around here. But if Stephen Fry's voice was coaxing us to reach for the arms of Morpheus, we might be convinced. Although I think he's a bit too kind for his voice to wake me up, since I sleep like the dead. I need something a lot more like this.

Homemade KITT

This is impressive. A guy has taken a Trans Am and pimped it out to be just like KITT. Check out the full eBay auction for more pics.

William Daniels not included. Although what you need is to buy it and pretend it's from the non-existent pilot from the failed UK version of the show. Then contact these guys about working up plenty of things for the car to say.

Found via Neatorama.
