Today’s WTF news story comes from Sacramento, California where 31-year-old Etta Lopez is stealing the headlines because of her wacky plan to help her quit smoking!!
Believing that nicotine gum, electronic cigs, patches, hypnotherapy or any of the other thousand-and-1 ways there are to try and kick the filthy habit wouldn’t work for her, Lopez decided she wanted to go cold turkey. But knowing she wouldn’t be able to do that unaided, Lopez thought up an ingenious (ahem ridiculous) plan! Continue Reading

Fancy shooting some pool on my banana-shaped pool table? Well tough, because I don’t have one, but I suppose you could ask “unventor” Cléon Daniel if he’d be kind enough to let you have a go on the Banana Pool Table that is one of his latest wacky creations.
Featuring bright yellow felt, a hardwood frame and 4 pockets instead of the traditional 6, Daniel’s table would make for a rather interesting and unusual game of pool! Continue Reading
Check out this incredible hand-made scrap metal robot created by Chinese inventor Tao Xiangli.
Tao, 37, spent about 150,000 yuan ($ 24,407) purchasing scrap metals and wires from second-hand markets to create his monstrous beast of a robot that stands a colossal 2.1 meters tall and weighs 480kgs! Now that’s an impressive piece of living room décor if ever I’ve seen one! Forget doilies and vases, what you need is a huge-ass home-made robot!!
It took him nearly a year to meticulously piece together this epic creation. There’s something about the head of the robot that reminds me a little of infamous Star Wars’ C-3PO, though Tao’s creation is obviously a lot more menacing in appearance than the lovable golden droid! Maybe this is C-3PO after one serious reboot!
