Awesome Weird

If you’re reading this, you’re probably not currently locked up, but if you find yourself incarcerated, these bendy pens are designed to let you write, but not turn them into deadly shivs.

Hungarian craftsman Istvan Puskas built his own custom chopper – not using metal parts, but instead making his motorcycle primarily out of acacia wood. Bonus points for that helmet, Istvan.

While we’ve seen as many as 24 people cram into a Mini, the never-ending stream of Russian troops coming out of the back of this truck remind us of some sort of alien spawn-point in a videogame.

If you think arm wrestling is tough, check out this German sport – in which combatants pull against each other as hard as they can, using only their middle fingers. We’re sticking with Thumb War.

While we think this diminutive fire truck is cute, we’d surely be hoping that there’s some backup on the way if our house were on fire – unless we lived in a dollhouse, in which case we’d be okay.

The mayor of Falciano del Massico, Italy has banned its citizens from dying – not because they’ve discovered the Fountain of Youth, but because there’s no more room in the cemetery.

While we’d never take our cars through a wash with such hard brushes, these cows seem to really enjoy the scratchy bristles in this automated cow wash. We bet an uddercarriage wash costs extra.

(NSFW?) While Luciano’ Foglia’s app doesn’t actually include any sexually explicit photos, Apple rejected it for being “objectionable.” It’s just geometry after all. Dirty, dirty geometry.

Arachnophobes look away! Cyriak fills our screens (and worst nightmares) with an endless barrage of animated spiders crafted from circuit boards, human heads, and other stuff. Get the Raid!

SlurpTV’s promo for Barcelona’s Apocalypse Miau parties – “the last fun night in the galaxy” – has an amount of value and hilarity directly proportional to how wasted you are when you watch it.

The pin-up calendar for those who love food more than anything else in the world. 12 pictures of Korea’s Italy’s gift to the world from NYC-based pizzeria L’asso. Yep, it also has a centerfold.

(NSFW: Gore) The WTF video for the month, brought to us by SOFA. We’ve seen it 3 times but the only thing we understood is that the red liquid on Pizza Boomerang is not tomato sauce.

One of the weirdest races in the world. It’s a 1-on-1 battle where the one in the lead is actually at a disadvantage due to aerodynamics, and most of the race is fought at a tension-filled snail’s pace.

Remember the ridiculous Going to the Store? Yeah, we didn’t quite get it either, but we still laughed. Here, JosephPeed does his own version, which made us spit out our coffee this morning.

A strange and sinister stop-motion film about an egg and an apple who build broadcast towers to compete for the attention of a lone transistor radio. Winner, Best Animated Short, Slamdance 2010.

For Stephen Neary, deer are man’s best friend. And his worst enemy is his own soul. This bizarre, yet heartwarming video is one of the animated shorts included in the 2012 Sundance Film Festival.

The PS Vita’s version of Katamari Damacy hustles some pool in this bizarre commercial. After the wacky part, we get to see the game’s intriguing (and squishy) new touch-based gameplay.

(NSFW: Language) Austin’s Old Murder House Theatre performs classic scenes from the Alien movies – while wearing ice skates. Finally, a reason to return to the theater. More scenes here.

The music video for My Leather, My Fur, My Nails, a catchy chiptune tale that anyone who’s been mooched and leeched from will relate to. From the Ordinaire EP of goofy pop quartet Stepdad.

It’s more like Welcome to WTF City, but don’t be a ‘fraidy cat. Some furry friends are here and more than happy to take you on a drive through the glorious metropolis they call home.

Through sheer will, determination (and perhaps a bit of an OCD), Tai Star manages to balance a stack of 3117 coins on top of a single dime. Fortunately, he doesn’t live in an earthquake zone.

We don’t know where this guy got the idea to tape pieces of lettuce together and punch holes in them so they could be used to play Paranoid Android, but this is the Internet, so we’ve stopped asking.

Max Winston’s I Live in the Woods! is a richly animated, terribly twisted tale of a woodsman’s journey, driven by happiness, slaughter, and a confrontation with the man upstairs. (Thanks Matt!)
