A Collection of Really Dumb Warning Labels

Published by Nattyb under Oddly Enough

Warning Label

When manufacturers of certain products need to pass specifications to get their products on the market, one of the requirements is always to put a warning label on the package.  Some things might be dangerous and they can’t be liable if a person sues them for a ridiculous thing they missed.

But sometimes these manufacturers go a little overboard with their labels.  Either that or people out there are so dumb that they actually have to be warned about ridiculous stuff with some of these products.

I’m gonna go with the manufacturers on this one because I think people are just way too stupid.

Weird Yet Useful: How to Make a Convincing Chewbacca Noise

Published by Paul Tassi under Movies, Oddly Enough, Videos

Have you ever embarassed yourself with a lackluster Chewbacca growl when in a situation that called for one? I know I have, which is why this handy tutorial taught by a decent looking girl is exceptionally useful for all of your future Chewbacca endeavors.

It’s all in the throat and tongue, but I have a feeling if you’re not the type of person who can roll your French “Rs” (like me), you may have some trouble getting the hang of this. Yes, I have been making Chewbacca noises in my office by myself for the past three minutes or so.

A Freaky Gallery of Humanoid Robots

Published by Nattyb under Oddly Enough

Humanoid Robots

We’ve been seeing movies about this stuff for a long long time.  My earliest recollection is in 1984 when Terminator came out.  Will robots take over?  Is a company like Skynet realistic?  I actually think it is.  And with what’s happening with humanoid robots, it’s just a matter of time.

A humanoid robot is a robot with its overall appearance based on that of the human body, allowing interaction with made-for-human tools or environments. As humanoid robots develop, they look more like humans, have learned to interact with humans, taken on human chores and even developed emotions.

Eventually they’ll kill all of us.  So be happy you’re alive now.  Here are 15 of these “things.”

Video Game Lover’s Car Not to be ****ed With

Published by Paul Tassi under Images, Oddly Enough, Video Games

It’s not every day someone writes a note to a car thief which contains not one, but two video game references. I’m not sure if the sorts of people who steal cars know what an Ocarina is, or who Gordon Freeman is, but the “crowbar to the face” message is certainly loud and clear, though it would be kind of a pain to actually camp behind a bunch of crates and wait for the car thief to come back and read your note.

The Best Youtube Videos Tagged “Windows Sucks”

Published by Nattyb under Movies, Oddly Enough

Windows

We’ve taken a few bashes here and there at Windows in the past.  And to tell you the truth I’m halfway nervous about writing this article because somehow karma is going to kick my ass and destroy my operating system by the time I stop writing.

Yes, I use a PC and every single day I use it I get more and more nervous that every single thing I have saved is going to get wiped out and my computer will have to be throw out of my window (27 stories up).

But I digress because I’m not the only one in this boat.  Plenty of others have been pretty pissed at Windows and here are seven videos to prove it.

Bonus Halloween Costume: The Mad Max That Almost Was

Published by Paul Tassi under Images, Movies, Oddly Enough

I managed to assemble half a Mad Max costume before I decided for sure on Battle Royale, so I thought I’d share it with you. It’s decent, but the jacket didn’t fit great and I didn’t have leather pants, a leg brace or boots, so I scrapped the bottom half. Maybe next year though.

If any of you guys have awesome costumes you want to share, send ‘em in! paul@unrealitymag.com

Happy Halloween from Unreality

Published by Paul Tassi under Images, Movies, Oddly Enough

Happy Halloween everyone, and thanks for helping me pick my costume this year. In case you don’t get it, I’m going as a Japanese seventh grader from Battle Royale. That collar around my neck is set to explode if I don’t kill all my other classmates on the island within 72 hours. Explaining this to people is not going to be fun, but whatever, I think it turned out pretty well, right? And yes, I have a fake samurai sword to replace my real one when I actually go out.

Here’s a clip from the movie below if you haven’t seen it. It’s Stephen King and Quentin Tarantino’s favorite book and movie of the decade respectively, and it makes for a great drinking game.

Admit It, It’s Cute: A Gallery of Kids in Sci-Fi Costumes

Published by Nattyb under Oddly Enough

Star Wars Kids

Well I knew I had to do some kind of costume post given that Halloween is tomorrow and all.  And it’s a tough task because I feel like we’ve already covered just about everything on this site.

From sexy cosplay to ugly cosplay to just flat out disgusting displays of robes, garbs, boxes, and aluminum foil, we’ve really covered the spectrum.

But oddly enough we haven’t covered little kids.  And I suppose it’s because I don’t want to come off all pedophile on you people.  Still though, it had to be done.

And these little kids in sci-fi gear is nothing short of adorable
