Nothing says finished man like ruggedly sexy home decor. Forget throw pillows and pastel color schemes- Rail Yard Studios has begun building stunning, macho furniture out of reclaimed rail ties and pieces of historical railways. Some of the pieces of steel and nails used were originally placed as far back as 1899, and were being sold for scrap when the railways were scheduled to be updated. Normally, rail ties are creosote treated, but often before they even get to that stage, they are singled out for flaws and slated to be sent to the furnace. This brilliant design house intercepts these ties before they’re completely wasted and creates the intriguingly badass furniture pictured after the jump.

The Ultimate Movie Montage – 739 Clips in 15 Minutes
I was trolling around Youtube looking for music by The Glitch Mob (whom I love for their dirty, industrial chill sound) and stumbled across this phenomenal video by Khameleon808 – ‘The Apple Tree – Feat. The Glitch Mob‘ is a flawlessly executed montage of 739 distinct and separate movie clips, seamlessly set to an epic score of Glitch Mob remixes. It’s pretty amazing; the video clips often have absolutely nothing to do with one another and there’s no dialogue, yet somehow the piece is a cohesive whole you can’t turn away from. I can’t imagine the obscene amount of time it would have taken to stitch hundreds of clips together, match action to musical features and to add in the jumps and pops that are characteristic to The Glitch Mob’s sound. The top notch editing and wicked bassy tracks will keep you riveted, but the fact that it’s basically 15 minutes of boobs, explosions, and fighting definitely helps too. Video after the jump.
White Lies Make the World Go Round – Why Women Fudge It
Women are undisputed masters of the white lie, but before you get too torqued out imagining all the dirty falsehoods your girl’s been telling you, let’s talk about why we do it. Believe it or not, we don’t care to deceive you, but we do care about you. The white lie is a powerful tool that everyone uses at some point in their day, and whether for good or for evil, it’s a pretty normal human interaction. People don’t give a damn about how your lunch went most of the time, and they’re rarely going to stand up and tell you how badly they straight out disagree with you. Consider the white lie as the soothing balm that keeps the nutsack of the world from sticking to its leg; while it may not be a life-saving necessity, it certainly keeps everyone more comfortable and happy. While there are white lies that can help you get out of trouble (“I was just helping my buddy move his patio furniture!” …past the gorgeous, sun-kissed, twenty something neighbor girl), women usually tell white lies to help keep unnecessary man-drama to a minimum (this may be a fairly startling revelation; sometimes, just sometimes, it is the man who’s getting too worked up about something.) The only problem with this is that it may create a sense of security that isn’t 100% true, and if you’re feeling like everything is just a bit too perfect and bland, you may be getting fed a steady diet of polite bull shit. We’ve put together some of the most common white lies that women specifically use with men, and a guide to what they actually mean.

Bookworks – Killer Art by Robert The
Artist Robert The started making book pieces in 1991; by 2011, he now has an amazing catalog of unique art that is the perfect fit for a man cave. Why settle for wimpy coffee table books when you can have awesome, re-constructable book art that looks like stuff that can kill you? As a guy, you should know that after reading a book and instantly absorbing all useful knowledge, you should do something manly with it, like clubbing a panther to death or propping up the Ferrari you’re working on. Check out a selection of The’s amazing works, or browse his site BookDust, for other less deadly pieces ; click through the jump for more manly adaptations to the simple hardcover novel.
The Brick Testament – The Bible Explained in Lego
The bible is one of those things that stirs up a lot of mixed feelings amongst our readership; regardless of this, it’s safe to say that no matter what you believe in, there are some pretty damn great stories in the good book. Being able to produce endless amounts of free booze, horrific monsters, cataclysmic disasters- it’s got everything you’d want in a multi-billion dollar summer blockbuster. Rather than arguing over what’s theologically sound, we’d rather just enjoy the hilariously vengeful side of God, as offered in gloriously detailed plastic by The Brick Testament. Check out some of these pretty ridiculous, tongue in cheek illustrations of biblical scenes after the jump.
