The avatar picture I'm currently using is a giant fiberglass brain designed as a camper top for a pick up truck. It is owned by an executive of the company whose property I work at as a guard.

It is about eight feet tall, twelve feet long, and has a double door in the back.

One of his employees found it on the side of the road and purchased it from the original owner because he knew his boss would like it.

There is no rational reason for this thing to exist, and yet it does. And it. Is. Awesome.

Anyone else know of things like this? Please share.

Edit: Here's the original avatar pic:

Does a 60 foot tall Gundam count? Japan built one. Because Japan does these kinds of things.

Yes. Yes it does. I'd forgotten that thing existed.

I thought you meant...

How about this little bit of real-life hax?

I have a Mobius scarf, actually. A friend of mine made it.

For some reason Twitpic didn't like me emailing the picture, so I uploaded it here instead.

Why not wear your Klein bottle hat with your Mobius scarf? :D

I have one of those. A family member made it for me. :D

And, since Freezair didn't provide a link - here you can order a Klein bottle hat for the nearest zero-volume head!

If we're not limiting this to contemporary weirdness, I have a bit of a fondness for OOParts.

Beyond that it's fun to say, I mean.
