Human Skin Laptop Bags
"This expensive ($601 USD), but striking laptop bag is made from synthetic human skin. The “Skinbag” is shock absorbant, has 1 cm padding (fabric lining), and 1 side pocket for all your accessories. It measures approx. 39 x 29 cm or 14 x 11 in. and doubles as a regular carrying bag."
Turns out they also make handbags & clothing as well. ("...it puts the lotion in the handbag, or it gets the hose again....oops, sorry")

How to Build a Geodesic Dome out of Cardboard
"The design was borrowed from a 1973 edition of Popular Science and was improved upon to meet the rigors of the Black Rock Desert.
These domes have served as an effective shelter against wind, extreme heat and, once painted, rainfall. The largest of the three domes in the picture opposite measures approximately 12' 7" in diameter and is about 6' 3" high at its center. We recommend building the largest one. All the measurements throughout this web site relate to the largest size.
They are fairly inexpensive to build as recycled cardboard is the main component and, if water-based paint is used, can be burned. The domes are strong enough to attach decorative pieces and lighting components to the inside."

"Go out and buy set #7708, LEGO Exo-Force "Uplink" (Pictured at right) This is one of the smallest Exo-Force sets and only costs about $5. For that five bucks you get a neat little mini-mech and a truly fun mini-figure with spiky purple anime hair.
The problem? Well, at the $5 level, there's not a lot of bling on that mech. It's very functional - but not very stylish.
The solution? Pimp my Mech.
Take whatever LEGO bricks you want (but they have to be LEGO parts! No MegaBlok nonsense) and trick out this Mech."
My personal favourite so far is this one:
