Plushie Skull with Hidden Organs Inside: Braaaaains!

Apparently, existing plushies just weren’t scary enough for young children, so Uncommon Goods is selling this Giant Skull With Hidden Organs plushie. The larger-than-life skull measures approximately 10″L x 9″W x 6″H and features a removable brain, hidden inner ear and brain cell mini-plushies, and two removable pop-out eyeballs. Sweet dreams, children!

The plush also includes a card of facts about the skull and brain so you can teach your children while simultaneously scarring them for life. And isn’t that what parenthood is all about? Well, plus the free, poor-quality labor. It’s just awesome having my children do household chores so incompetently I have to do them all myself again afterwards.

They should make a whole plush skeleton with internal organs next for the full-body learning experience. Then I can hang it up in my son’s closet and remind him before bed every night that this is what happens when you don’t eat your vegetables. Father of the year over here!

T-Rex Skull Tape Dispenser: Add a Little Dino to Your Desk

Make no bones about it, this t-rex skull tape dispenser is officially the coolest tape dispenser I’ve seen. Made and sold by Etsy shop Meow3DStore, the 3D printed dispenser is available in a variety of colors and sizes (standard is a surprisingly large 5″ x 4″ x 3.6″) and is really going to bring a touch of prehistoric times to my office, which I feel it’s been missing. Plus a desk and a chair.

Seeing one in a person’s hand really puts its size into perspective. This isn’t your grandma’s tape dispenser! I mean, unless your grandma is 66-million years old and used to hunt dinosaurs, then she might use an actual t-rex skull for a tape dispenser. Hardcore!

I don’t know about you, but I’ve never been more excited to wrap presents this Christmas thanks to my recently purchased t-rex skull tape dispenser. And not just the gifts I bought myself, but mostly the gifts I bought myself, because I know what I like.

This Skull-Shaped Toilet Wants You to Sit on Its Head

When is a toilet not just a toilet? When it’s the best toilet ever! An eagle-eyed shopper spotted this skull-shaped toilet at a hardware store somewhere in Europe, and now I must have one for my bathroom. Only I need it in time for Halloween, so I’m not sure that’s going to happen. But where can one buy a skull toilet? Well, upon further investigation, it looks like this is sold by a French company called WaterThrone, and it’s not just a skull toilet, but it’s also a Bluetooth speaker and has light-up eyes! SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

The WaterThrone is available in other colors, like gold, black, and grey, along with custom colors, but I think the original off-white is the best since, um, our bones are that color. At least I think mine are, but I haven’t been able to check. The product listing doesn’t say how much it costs to sit on this head, but it does let us know that it can support up to 400 kilograms or 881.85 pounds, so that’s good news.

Silicone Mold Bakes Life-Size Human Skull Cakes: Mmmm, Brains

Sure, you could bake a regular sheet cake for your next party, or you could make something a little bit more morbid with this 3D Skull Head Silicone Cake Mold available on Amazon (affiliate link). The mold creates both front and back skull pieces that, when attached with icing, create a life-size 8.5″ x 5.4″ x 7.1″ cranium. Well, an average life-size cranium. Mine is much larger.

This mold will come in handy around Halloween time. What do you think would make the best edible eyeballs to put in the eye sockets – gumballs? Jawbreakers? Pearl onions? Hardboiled eggs? Of course, those last two would probably be considered more tricks than treats. Especially if you also carved a hole in your skull cake and filled it with spaghetti to mimic brains.

Not much of a cake person? No worries, the silicone molds are equally suitable for making Rice Krispies treats or soap. But, speaking from experience, eating that much soap will probably upset your stomach. To my mom’s credit, though, I’ve never said another dirty word since.

T-Rex Skull Hard-Boiled Egg Mold: Making Fossils for Breakfast

How do you get your kids to eat their eggs? Simple — scramble them. Kids love scrambled eggs. Or is that me? More of a hard-boiled fan? Enter the EGG-A-MATIC t-rex skull egg mold (affiliate link) from Fred. It turns a boring hard-boiled egg into a delicious dinosaur skull. Rawr!

All you have to do is hard boil an egg, peel it, then while it’s still warm, place it in the mold and into the refrigerator to chill. Once it’s cool, TA-DA, you’ve got yourself a dinosaur skull-shaped egg. Obviously, if they aren’t charging $12 apiece for dinosaur-shaped eggs at Jurassic Park’s food stands, they’re missing out on a very lucrative revenue stream.

So – which came first, the dinosaur or the egg? I have no clue, but you better believe as soon as my time machine is operational, I’ll be the first to find out and finally put the mystery to rest. Nobel Prize Winner sure has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?

Louis Vuitton’s $475,000 watch is an incredibly ornate time-telling artpiece





Looking less like a watch and more like an ancient relic, the Tambour Carpe Diem is a highly complicated piece of wrist-worn art that has a unique hauntingly beautiful way of telling the time. Developed and produced entirely in-house at La Fabrique du Temps (a Geneva-based complications specialist owned by LV), the intricately assembled luxury wristwatch is Louis Vuitton’s flagship watch of the year… and if you’ve got a trust fund or you happen to be a bitcoin millionaire, the Tambour Carpe Diem could be yours for a cool $475,000.

The word ‘complication’ is pretty fitting for the Tambour Carpe Diem. It looks nothing like you’d expect from a traditional watch, and is filled with incredibly eye-catching Calavera imagery, often associated with the popular Mexican holiday ‘Day of the Dead’. The watch’s face throws you off guard, although that’s totally by design. Created to captivate, the Carpe Diem comes with four automata (complex mechanisms) that bring the watch face to life when you’re reading the time. The watch’s face exists to delight until you get it to tell you the time. With a simple press of the snake at the 2 o’clock position, the watch-face whirrs to life as the rose-gold skull on the dial begins menacingly grinning to reveal the words Carpe Diem written inside its mouth, while the Louis Vuitton logo inside its eye shifts and morphs in shape. The skull is accompanied by an intricately hand-painted and enameled golden snake (by the renowned Anita Porchet), which moves its head sideways to reveal the hour, while its tail points at the minutes. Completing the time-telling experience is an incredible hourglass at the 10 o’clock position that visually counts down the minutes as the day progresses.

The back of the watch is arguably just as consciously designed as the front is. The watch’s exhibition back reveals a black skull-shaped metal plate with a damaskeening finish (also referred to as the Côtes de Genève texture). Behind it lies the LV 525, a movement based on the minute repeating movement constructed by La Fabrique du Temp from a few years ago. The hand-wound movement is made up of a total of 426 components, and boasts of an impressive 100-hour power reserve. All this sits within the Tambour Carpe Diem’s 18k pink-gold case, capped with sapphire crystal displays, and finished off with a premium leather strap and pink-gold buckle. With all those embellishments, it’s pretty easy to justify the watch’s whopping nearly-half-million price tag. It’s less of a watch and more of a luxurious piece of art. Exquisitely designed, with a jaw-dropping time-telling experience (quite literally if you consider the skull’s movable jaw!), the Tambour Carpe Diem is an absolute masterpiece forged and immortalized in an 18-karat pink-gold watch-casing. Probably a much better use of money than Lil Nas X’s satan shoes, if you ask me…

Unicorn Skulls Offer an Imaginary Anatomy Lesson

If your home decor is lacking, perhaps you just need some more skulls. These decorative unicorn skulls should do the trick just fine. Each resin skull is hand-painted and polished and looks like what a real unicorn skull would look like if they existed. Maybe you can hang this next to your Bigfoot fur rug, Chupacabra skeleton, or Ogre taxidermy trophy.

Each skull measures 10.75″ (h) x 8.5″(w) x 4.75″ (d). Something tells me that this isn’t to scale with an actual unicorn. Its horn is screwed onto the skull which I don’t think is how it works in real-life but what are you gonna do? Maybe you can swap that horn out for other stuff, like a decorative ice cream cone, a hand making devil horns, a lightsaber, or other fun accessories. I like the idea of a Jedi unicorn with a lightsaber instead of a horn. I might have to make a short Star Wars film with an all unicorn cast. The lightsaber duels will be the best. When they collide they create rainbows.

These Flaming Demon Fireplace Skulls Will Terrify Your Neighbors

If you want to make your fires look badass, there’s only one way to do it. Throw in a demon skull or two. You can toss them in your fire right next to those human skull logs that the same company was selling a while back. They must have been a big hit.

Just fill your fire pit with a huge mountain of these demonic looking skulls and watch your neighbors live in fear of you after. Especially if you act weird and start chanting and circling around the fire pit… while wearing robes. One of you should be holding a knife, and maybe should shout something about “the prophecy” too. That should do it. They will never talk to you again, which is probably a good thing. Yeah. Most neighbors suck.

These demon versions of the popular ceramic fireproof skulls are for use in gas fireplaces and in regular fire pits. These have hollow eye sockets so that the flames can go through them and look awesome. They aren’t cheap though, at around $60 per skull over on Amazon.

It’s worth the investment because a pile of burning demon skulls is something that every home needs – and you can get some just in time for Halloween too.

An X-Ray of Pac-Man

A few years back, an artist created a sculpture of what Pac-Man might look like in the real world. The image was simultaneously adorable and disturbing, and made me wonder what the yellow dot-gobbler’s insides might look like. Well, now we know, courtesy of artist SHOK-1.

Yes, what you’re looking like is Pac-Man’s skull, as viewed under an X-ray machine. If you think the still image is weird, get a load of the skull chomping down on power pills

Now that we know how Pac-Man’s jaws move, it only opens up more queries about its anatomy – like where is its stomach, and how exactly does it poop? Just add those to life’s many unanswered questions for now, I suppose. Oh, and in case you were wondering what the ghosts looked like inside…
