10 Weird Burger Inspired Designs

admin — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 17:13:19 +0000

It seems there is no shortage of crazy burger pics and impressive (if not a little gross) works of “hamburger art.” This homage to the all-American love of beef patties is enough to bring a tear to your eye (and cholesterol to your arteries!).

To all our carnivores readers out there – here are our fave Web Hamburgers:

Burger Harly

Two symbols of the United States, the burger and Harley-Davidson motorcycles unite into an incredibly strange looking and most likely smelling combination, the Burger Trike. Hamburger enthusiast Harry Sperl has sacrificed a 1987 Harley-Davidson to create this unique crazy looking thing which has even onion-like rear wheels while the front rim looks like a tomato slice so the menu is complete and ready to be served.

Burger Bed

Texas based fast food fan, Kayla Kromer loves hamburgers so much that she decided that she wanted to be able to sleep in one.The giant burger bed features all the trimmings, with pickle and tomato pillows, lettuce sheets, a cheese slice quilt and a round burger shaped mattress.

Kayla Kromer says that her burger bed was inspired the film Hamburger, in which students sleep in burger-shaped beds. She just could not get the image out of her mind, so decided to embark on a project to build her own.

Hamburger Computer Mouse

Made to look like a delectable cheeseburger with ketchup and a soft, sesame seed bun, this mouse not only moves your cursor around, it makes you hungry too.

Hamburger Slut Panties

Sorry guys, these panties say “only a hamburger can satisfy my needs.” It’s probably not a good idea to get involved with a woman like that anyway.

Hamburger Dress

Who else wants to sink his (Probably /her) teeth right into this crocheted hamburger dress?

Sneaker Burger

Vice magazine asked online creative director Olle Hemmendorff for his take on Nike’s Air Max 90 shoe, and it looks like he really ran with it. I don’t know how appetizing a burger crafted to look like a sneaker would be. Hope it tastes better than it smells.

Lego Burger

Yes I do love Legos and I can not let this list go without a delicious Lego Burger.

Fabric Burger and Fries

A tasty treat of burger and fries made of fabrics.

Burger Cupcakes

These mini-burgers, or sliders come from Smiley’s Sweets and Creations.The buns are vanilla cupcakes, the burgers are bits of chocolate cupcake, lettuce is shredded coconut, and ketchup and mustard are red and yellow icing. A perfect celebration of the American Way of Life!

Turtle Burger

And finally a Yummy photoshopped turtle burger.

Splendid Homemade Robots

admin — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 18:15:35 +0000

Yeah!! We love freaking robots and the talented robot geek Lockwasher seems to have a Robots’ Heaven right in his garage:

Well first is was the ray guns, then I had so much stuff still left laying around and my workshop/studio/garage was already so trashed and the word robot starts with an R like ray gun… you following this logic. Anyway to top it off my wife actually thought they were neat or cute or some warm and fuzzy description that she had never bestowed on any of my ray gun creations. And the garage continues to exist in a perfect state of being trashed.

Check out some of his awesome homemade robots:

I ROBO Pod Robot

Banana Rama or Bach irobo pod has all of latest downloads. Our musical maestro is composed of a compressor engine cover, ice crusher crank arm, mint box and flashlight lens. Apologies to Apple.

Robot Robusto

Mr. Robusto’s crafted from a copper float, coffee strainer, vintage light toggle switch, fishing reel arms, assorted gears and an old cloth tape measure.

Robo Gnome

Mr. Gnome’s aluminized body (tea pot) allows him to frolic without fear of rusting in the rainy weather.

Mothra2 Robot

BR2D2…beertooD2

After several mugs of liquid inspiration while viewing StarWars for the umpteenth time BeertooD2 was born… or should I say drafted? His 4.7 liter keg body, chrome tractor headlight dome, vintage shoe polisher legs and mini bread loaf pan feet have proven popular with the over-21 crowd…may the force beer with you.

Schauer Robot

Wide-eyed and up for a challenge nothing gets past Schauer. Gloriously displaying his radar headgear (lawn sprinkler) and dual window cranks (arms) this bot is master of all he surveys. A vintage motor analyzer case, auto valve bodies, electric drill parts, springs and a big gold nose keep him on top of his game.

sir lube of can-o-lot robot

The days of shivery are still alive thanks to Sir Lube! Striking a bold stance protected by his vegetable grater shield and oil can lance, our hero sports a custom helmet with hinged face guard. Know a damsel in distress?

propeller head

This titanic terror is transfixed on traumatizing tens of thousands…not really, he’s honestly just looking for a good time, has a nice personality and is a Sagittarius.12″ tall…and if you’re seeing a wild, color background.

robo betty

Betty’s stylish ensemble is made up of an aluminum light shade, dainty pressed steel ashtray, tea strainer ball, bicycle cable hangers and molly bolt heels. Betty was my first attempt at creating a female robot.

cam robot

Timing is everything in life…and that’s especially true for Cam. Fashioned from a cam dwell tester, potato tongs and a pair of toy pliers. Remember, next time you’re ready to time something…use Cam…everytime!

scotty robo dog

Scotland’s loss is our gain, Scotty dog. Classic thermos plaid body, aluminum lamp shade head and hot and cold ears make up our wee lad.

brassbug robot

Fan blade added with a pair of pot drainers make the wings.

mobile phone man

just hanging around waiting for that next call…

camera robot Lancer

ANSCO Lancer that is. Made in West Germany cica 1959.

People using public transport in the Dutch city of Rotterdam have more to worry about than overcrowded buses.A bus stop ad for a fitness company in The Netherlands uses an LCD display to show the weight of the person sitting on the bench with the idea that the public shame of your weight would entice you to sign up for the gym.

Don’t you believe that people are afraid of their weight? Then check out this 23 sec video:

Colorful Reminders

Erin Hanson‘s idea to fill her house with these shiny, colorful reminders seems pretty awesome:

Colorful reminders spattered all about my house might make me more prone to living my life a little better. that or give the appearance that i am completely incapable of being an adult without visual aides.
I can’t seem to stop myself from adding more and more.

Hummer With Wooden Wagon Wheels

admin — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 13:38:08 +0000

What’s the use in equipping a Hummer H3 with wooden wagon wheels? Probably nothing, but when you ask Matthew Harrison, the artist who made this, he says “It’s not a car, it’s art.”
