Anything and Everything that is cool, hot, fresh and classic.
What Will Ferrell did for Funny Or Die, Tony Hawk is hoping to do for Shred Or Die.
As an action sports video site, SOD hopes to mix action sports and celebrity culture, including interviews with Lance Armstrong, Shaun White, Christian Slater, and Ryan Sheckler.
Users watch the user generate clips, and then vote that they should either “Shred” or “Die”, similar to Digg and Burry.
Are you ready?
If you thought the tattooed couch was bad, just wait until you see Wim Delvoye’s tattooed pig. (Stuffed, of course.)
I guess fashion forward follows you to the grave as well.

The irony of this story is almost too much to handle: Apparently, the Small World ride at Disneyland can’t handle the big world that we currently live in.
The ride was built in 1963, and was designed to hold male riders that averaged 175 pounds, and female riders that averaged 135 pounds.
Unfortunately, as we all know, those averages are no longer true, and the boats are starting to bottom out under all of the extra weight.
To combat this problem, ride operators are leaving empty seats, but even this doesn’t seem to prevent the bottoming out, so the ride is going to have to be reengineered to handle the extra pounds.
I guess it’s not such a small world after all.

With a bit of clever menu manipulation, you can finally force your Mac to show the date in your menubar using System Preferences.
It’s not exactly easy, but it works, so there’s now no excuse for not knowing the date.

Refusing to leave well enough alone, Mercedes-McLaren have taken their SLR supercar and turned it into a club-racing monster, called the SLR 722 GT.
Developed in conjunction with British motorsports company RML Group, and designed for the handful of very rich drivers who can afford to pony up the one million pounds it takes to get behind the wheel of one of the 21 being made, the 722 GT features modifications to the suspension, braking, aerodynamics, interior and exhaust of a normal SLR. In total, more than 400 components have been either replaced or redesigned.
Power comes in the form of a supercharged AMG 5.5L V8 that is rated at 671 hp and 612 lb-ft of torque.
Eye appeal upgrades include a new front apron with front splitter, wide wings, prominent side skirts, a rear diffuser, and an airplane sized wing on the back.
Now, you’ve just got to track down one of those Ferrari FXX Evoluzione owners and challenge him to a race.
Ahh, the life of the rich.

Nike’s SB line of skate shoes are often some of the most creative tributes to grace your feet.
First, there’s the Nike Dunk SB “720 Degrees”. Inspired by the first skateboarding arcade game, Atari’s 720 Degrees, these kicks feature a perfect match to the game’s color scheme, and will definitely make you stand out at the next arcade competition.
Then, there’s the Nike Dunk SB “Newcastle Brown Ale”. Inspired by the delicious brown ale out of Newcastle, England, these kicks feature a hoppy style that is perfect for your next beer fest.
Regardless of your style, there’s no doubting the creativity that goes into a mash-up like this; and I commend Nike for thinking outside the box when is comes to design.

As demonstrated by Elizabeth Banks, just because you’re funny, doesn’t mean you can’t be sexy.

Apple has apparently decided not to be subtle about its feelings for Microsoft, as any time you connect a Windows computer to a Leopardized Mac through the network, you’ll be greeted with a subtle reminder of the BSOD.
Cute, Apple; very cute.

To make your own, just find an old Mac, give it the proper paint scheme, load up a face image and proudly display.
Happy Macoween.
