Every other blue moon, or even less regular, one item catches one’s attention enough to say that one wants that thing badly. I think I just had one of those moments seeing what is sadly only a concept design by Mateusz G?ówka.
Block Valve Amplifier by Mateusz Glowka
If ever this finds production, trust me one will be mine, even more if it were to be released as a high end surround amplifier. Read more
Things can get even better though, especially when the Discworld Master combines everything in one, together with some magical thunderbolt iron. What you get is one DIY-Sword.
With help from his friend Jake Keen — an expert on ancient metal-making techniques — the author dug up 81kg of ore and smelted it in the grounds of his house, using a makeshift kiln built from clay and hay and fuelled with damp sheep manure.
Pratchett, who has Alzheimer’s disease, also said he had thrown in “several pieces of meteorites — thunderbolt iron, you see — highly magical, you’ve got to chuck that stuff in whether you believe in it or not”.
After days of hammering the metal into bars, he took it to a blacksmith, whom he helped to shape it into a blade, which was finished with silverwork.

If I were to go live in the Southern of Europe, in a mediterranean environment, I think this would be the ultimate octopus a restaurant could serve me and make sure I would not touch. Not not touch because I don’t like octopus, I love octopus to be honest.
But not touch because it looks so frakkin’ awesome.
Except for one small detail, a really minor detail. It’s $249. And you can not eat it either. No amount of IRN BRU can help you digest this. So you’ll have to find a spot on your desk or coffee table for it. Now go order me one and send it as a gift to the Frankylicious HQ.
Women should love it as well because it’s 12″.
If you’re anything like us and also happen to like movies, of course David Lynch is one of your idols and favourite movie makers. Right?
Right.
We’ll even forgive you if you’re a softie and only can cope with ‘Lynch beginner level’ suspense like in Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive.
So what if you could have your own, super-sized David Lynch?
It now is possible. Well kinda, that might have been a lie actually but Jamie Salmon went ahead and created his own Lynch. Imagine sitting at the table, with your Lynch replica and enjoying your food in real Eraserhead style. Sign me up for one, please.

Screw all the drama around MacLaren baby strollers. Hoping that your baby becomes a speed nut always is a great thing, but here at frankylicious we have other ambitious for our kids. How about a Klingon baby?
For those among us who don’t believe that Klingons and Cylons will be able to cohabitat peacefully, Chinese designer Shi Jinsong has created the ultimate Terminator Baby Stroller.
Of course many of us have had our train set in childhood. I myself had a Marklin and enjoyed it until 11 or 12. After that, of course the usual suspects started to become more important in life and that many years later my interests sounded more like ‘girls, booze and parties’ than Marklin could phonetically be twisted.
Still, their are enough of nerds out there who have given hope to get laid up and try to spend their time positively. Constructively. Cancer? Screw dat, let’s build a model train set.
First you’ll need something like this.
You’ll also need some sheep Read more
We only just had the ultimate Marvel-Disney crossover and now we can follow it up with the ultimate bed for geeks and nerds united.
Best of all? It’s a double bed so you’ll have plenty of space to put your laptop, hide some cans of Mountain Dew and even then you’ll still have space left over for a tablet to put your Pot Noodles on. You get it, it’s a nerd’s dream.
Let me present you the Millenium Falcon bed.
