Routine Vacuum Cleaning Ends With Call to Snake Catcher & One Dead Asian Racer

Posted on by

When emptying out your vacuum cleaner, you’ll sometimes end up finding a surprising thing or two. But snakes? That goes beyond the realm of ordinary surprise.

Snake iRobot Roomba

A small Asian Racer, a non-poisonous species that can be mainly found in the Middle East, around the Mediterranean and the Caucasus, managed to make its way into an iRobot Roomba used to clean the house of an Israeli couple living in Haifa.

The husband was cleaning the Vacuum when he saw the small snake (although they can grow up to 1.5 meters long, this one was much smaller) peaking from the insides of the iRobot. He quickly contacted a snake catcher and sent him some pictures of the snake, not sure if it was alive or dead.

Snake Vacuum

The snake catcher couldn’t quite make an accurate assessment of the whole situation and species through the pictures, so he popped by and got the snake out of the iRobot, finally seeing it was the less dangerous Asian Racer (they do bite) instead of the Viper (poisonous) species common to those parts.

The home of the couple is in the Denia neighborhood of Haifa, which is located on Mount Carmel, which is teeming with wildlife which can get quite close to the homes. The snake catcher surveyed the yard outside to make sure there are no snake nests close to the house; small snakes often indicate something of the sort.

Caught Snake

 

All’s well that ends well, despite the minor fright to the couple. If anything, it’s now something of a story to tell the grandchildren someday and spook them about snakes in their homes and in weird places. You never know what you’re going to find, even when doing something as mundane as emptying your iRobot.

13 Incredible Star Wars Lamps

Posted on by
Star Wars Lamp Darth Vader 3D

Brightening your day is important, but metaphors aside, you need actual light. That’s a thing. And because things always get better with Star Wars, here’s our list of Star Wars lamps. 

 

It seems Star Wars is all the world can talk about, and we can’t blame anyone. With the most recent film Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens becoming a smash hit at the box office it seems the series is back in full force (no pun intended). That is why countless Star Wars productions have started appearing all around the web, and we have been compiling the most interesting or fun of those and sharing them with our readers. This time around, we have lamps inspired by the iconic series, so without further ado, here are our favorite Star Wars Lamps!

Star War Darth Vader 3D color changing USB desk lamp

There is a good reason why we decided to start off the list with this amazing Darth Vader 3D lamp. This beauty right here has a touch button which can make it switch between red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, pink, and white, or make it change automatically. It can be plugged straight to the wall, or via USB to charge its battery for improved portability, with the creators even offering alternatives for US, UK or EU adapters so you can buy from anywhere in the world. This lamp costs $32.99.

Imperial Walker At-At Table Lamp

We are going to have to have this conversation again in the future, after all the new movies come out, but as of now, Star Wars Episode V: Empire Strikes Back remains the fan favorite (right?), and now you can show your appreciation for what is probably one of the most remembered scenes in the entire saga with this AT-AT lamp. The walkers from the planet Hoth cost $20.05 USD and is a beautiful 3D lamp that can be carried anywhere, be plugged to the wall, or be charged via USB.

Star Wars 3d Millennnium Falcon Lamp

Similar to the previous lamps, but this time on the Rebel’s side instead of the Empire’s, this lamp features Han Solo and Chewie’s iconic ship, the Millennium Falcon, beautifully recreated as a 3D sculpture that lights up. This Millennium Falcon Lamp shares the same basic features of the lamps we included above (can be charged via USB and transported, and users get to pick its charger) and costs $25.28, which is not that expensive for such a detailed treat.

LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Desk Lamp

 

LEGO Star Wars has sort of become its own brand, thanks to its beautiful aesthetics and love for the most quirky aspects of the smash hit saga. The thing is, Star Wars and LEGO work really well together because of how iconic some of the characters are, and how well this translates to LEGO and this isn’t more evident for any character other than Darth Vader himself, who inspired this LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader lamp, which you can currently get on sale for just under $45 USD, $25 below its usual price. What’s best, the lamp can be used with or without the base so it’s not only a great light alternative, but also a beautiful decoration for Star Wars fans.

Star Wars 3D R2-D2 USB lamp

Of course there was going to be at least a few Star Wars lamps inspired by R2-D2, the iconic and beloved droid from the series who is one of the few character to have shown up and do important things in each and every single movie! This Star Wars R2-D2 3D Lamp features a touch button to change between red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, pink and white, and measures 9.35*4.71*0.15″(23.8*12*0.4cm) ; base: 3.42*3.42*1.69″ (8.7*8.7*4.3cm); USB cable: 58.95″ (150cm). It can be used by plugging it straight to the wall or to a USB port to charge its battery for further independence.

Star Wars Darth Vader Lamp

If you would rather have a more traditional lamp, as in one to put in a young kid’s nightstand, here’s a Darth Vader Table Lamp featuring the dark lord of the Sith in all his glory, featuring his helmet and red lightsaber just the way we remember him from the classic movies. This beauty is a fantastic budget option at under $23 USD, and when you factor in the free shipping, it becomes even more tempting, especially if you’re trying to get a Star Wars themed bedroom for the kids.

Star Wars Lightsaber Lamp

Here is a more traditional lamp that  manages to still be really geeky but not as in-your-face as previous models because it doesn’t feature a character’s likeness. Instead, this time around we get one of the iconic lightsabers from the movies, in this case, Anakin Skywalker’s – we can tell because of the hilt. This lamp features 8 different colors or an automatic mode in which it switches around and varies the brightness, and even features sound which can be turned on or off. We are guessing it’s gonna be off most of the time, but hey, it’s a nice feature regardless! This Star Wars Lightsaber Room Light is currently on sale at 25% off, and you can get it for just under $23 USD.

Star Wars Kylo Ren 3D Wall LED Light

It hasn’t been that long since the release of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, but Kylo Ren has already become one of the most well known characters from the new trilogy. This Star Wars Kylo Ren 3D Wall LED Light features the likeness of the new villain from the series as a really cool, 100% official merchandise, 3D wall light. It also comes with the crack sticker so it looks like he came smashing through the wall, and also features cordless functionality with high-duration energy efficient LED bulbs so you don’t have to mess around with it a lot. It is going to require 3 x AA batteries, and has a size of approximately: 21.5cm x 13cm x 32.5cm. You can purchase yours for $63.30.

Star Wars Yoda Nighstand Lamp

Here’s another lamp of the more traditional kind, this one featuring arguably one of the biggest stars from the entire Star Wars franchise. Although this Star Wars Yoda Lamp is meant for little kids, it’s not like this lamp wouldn’t be great in any desk around the house that could use some light for reading your favorite extended universe comics. This pull-chain lamp plugs straight to the wall and doesn’t require any type of charging or batteries, costs $39.99, and is the perfect present for the younger Padawans that grew up with the Clone Wars cartoons.

Star Wars 3D BB-8 USB lamp

 

The cute BB-8 quickly became a hit with fans after the release of the seventh movie in the series, Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. The ball-droid also has a 3D lamp inspired by him that you can buy for $25.99 with free shipping. Like most similar lamps that we talked about above, the Star Wars 3D BB-8 USB lamp can be plugged straight to any wall or charged via USB. It features several colors you can pick and choose from including red, white, blue, yellow and more, and the best of all, the mode in which it cycles through all of them automatically.

Star Wars R2-D2 EVA Lamp

This beautiful Disney Star Wars R2D2 EVA Lamp is the perfect addition to any playroom or bedroom in the house. The colorful lamp features the likeness of R2-D2, the most well-known character in the Star Wars saga of movies, and is beautifully crafted in EVA. The lamp emits a soft glow that can be used for night light, but it is also almost a toy by itself for being so well crafted (although you don’t want your kid to play with electricity). The lamp costs $21.78 with free shipping so here’s a great option worth considering for the little ones.

Star Wars Darth Vader Wall Lamp

Similar to the Kylo Ren lamp featured above, the Star Wars Darth Vader Wall Lamp is a fantastic cordless option to use in any room around the house. This light mounts to any wall on top of a crack sticker which the user can either use or not, and it features three settings On/Off/Timer (30 minutes) you can pick from. This lamp costs $37.99, which is way below the cost of the Kylo Ren one, but hey, that’s what happens when you are yesterday’s news, right? Too soon?

Star Wars Death Star USB Powered Mood Light

Throughout the movies, the Death Stars kept getting bigger and scarier, but luckily, there’s always been a few X-wing pilots around to take them down whenever they got too dangerous. It is definitely not the case with the Star Wars Death Star USB Powered Mood Light, which is just meant to be a beautiful, detailed replica of the iconic station. It is a mood light with push down on/off function that measures some 18cm diameter and has a transparent base to give ‘floating’ impression. You can get your own for $41.19 with free shipping.

Turn your cat into the best DJ

Posted on by
Cat-scratch-turntable-1

With Cat Scratch Turntable, your cat can suddenly follow after his dreams and become the most sought-after DJ this year. You want to know how? This is the story for you.

Many people think that cats and kittens scratch anything they find in order to sharpen their claws and stretch their muscles, but after carefully discussing things with Mr. Whiskers, we’ve found out the true reason: they just don’t understand their cats’ passion for music and their dreams of sharing the stage with Snoop Catt and hunt Deadmau5.

If after reading the last paragraph you are wondering what it is that your cat really wants in life (is it just happy with its city life, chasing insects and biting computer cables, or would it rather spend its days celebrating and going from party to party getting other cats and kittens to dance to the sickest beats?), but don’t even bother asking, for we have the answer right here. The Cat Scratch Turntable, is a very original toy for cats that retails for just over $20 USD (it’s currently on sale!), and is a great alternative to scratching poles as it will keep your pet entertained while it waits for a discographic company to listen to its demo. Who knows, your kitty might head huge European festivals by this time next year!

Besides being shaped like a record player and having a special disc to scratch, most parts are mobile (the cat would notice otherwise, and would complain and ask for higher end sets!), so it’s a world-class toy that will even entertain humans. The design is simply fantastic, decorated with stickers and drawings that would make any human DJ green with envy, but as if all of this wasn’t enough, the whole thing is also made out of highly resistant cardboard which is really simple to put together, so humans only need to mount the parts following the instructions.

Be warned, though, we have noticed that after buying this, most users have reported a crowd of cats started showing up around the neighborhood. Music fans and paparazzi kittens of the cat music scene will start gathering in your backyard to listen to the newest DJ in the area, so we recommend using a spare room so the top feline DJ can rest and make its music without any interruptions. Rock on, kitten.

Modular Tetris Shaped Cat Scratching Blocks For Gamer Kitties

Posted on by

The beloved video game Tetris has inspired countless creations throughout the globe, and this last beauty we see here has to do with keeping our feline friends happy, while remaining useful. 

Us geeks have a reputation for being huge fans of everything kitty related (I mean, just look at how that whole Internet thing turned out), but it’s not like our furry buddies are perfect. No matter how active, fun or cute they might be, kitties have a soft spot for destruction and do have a tendency to take out their aggression or playfulness on some of our favorite things at home. If you were wondering how to stop cats from attacking everything, but also add a geeky flair to your house, there is something we’d like to introduce to you: meet Katris, a wordplay on cats and tetris inspired modular cardboard car scratching blocks in tetromino form is from the Tetris series of games, all designed and built by Papercraft Lab. The idea is to create furniture that is more than just a cat scratching post, and that are actually useful as shelves when stacked, or make them double as shelves, tables, or whatever else users might need.

As the creators explained to our pals at Geekologie, “Katris is a cat climbing tree, a bookshelf, a cat scratcher, a coffee table, a shoe rack, and so much more. In fact, the ways that you can interact with and use Katris are limitless. Katris gives you the perfect opportunity to let your imagination run wild to support your creative curiosity.” The really cool thing about Katris, though, is that it doesn’t really matter whether you have a cat or not, these blocks really do look great on their own and are fantastic decoration by themselves: useful, symetrical, and malleable, which are all the things you could ever wish from this type of product.

The feline members of our families do have a reputation for deciding that our furniture is more of a toy than their actual toys are, and so our sofas and beloved furniture passed down through generations end up as glorified kitty scratching posts – but it’s not like you can get mad at your cat. They just absolutely do not care, which is why these Tetris modular blocks are such a great idea. Buying these is like paying a “I just want to stop caring” tax, which should do wonders to improve your relationship with your four-legged buddy. Less stress means leading a longer life after all, doesn’t it?

Take a closer look at the blocks in the video below these lines. Be warned, though, there might be way too much cute content in it, and if you’re at the office or workplace your mates might end up making fun of your squealing. We won’t blame you, though, it really does look amazing.
