Add to your personal list of things that don’t need to exist (everyone keeps one of those, right?) this remote-controlled car, which has the singular distinction of being the world’s fastest.
Nic Case designed the Schumacher Mi3 with one purpose in mind: to break the world record for fastest toy car – and boy howdy, has he done exactly that. This $4000 pocket rocket is made of carbon fibre, powered by an 11HP motor connected to a 12-cell battery pack, and travels at a cool 161.76 mph. In the event you’re unaware, that’s really damn fast – perhaps fast enough even that I can’t imagine this thing handling turns very well. Or, y’know, being very fun to play with at all.
In any case, thanks to the magic of the internet, you can witness for yourself the car’s record-breaking run by clicking the play button below. Awesome!

Oh, that steampunk-style computer is awesome… where’s the mouse, though? Is it that telescope, or is that one a webcam? Perhaps, a sepia-tone screen might be a nice add-on, or that might be pushing the theme a bit too far, hehe. Awesome stuff… it’s custom-made, right? People might like a computer like that, and as long as the quality standard is good, then it would be a really cool gadget.
The origin of toys is prehistoric; dolls representing infants, animals,
and soldiers, as well as representations of tools used by adults are
readily found at archaeological sites. The origin of the word “toy” is
unknown, but it is believed that it was first used in the 14th century.[
Wow I would love to be young again!
Toy makers change and adapt their toys to meet the changing demands of
children thereby gaining a larger share of the substantial market. In
recent years many toys have become more complicated with flashing lights
and sounds in an effort to appeal to children raised around television
and the internet.
