Sharker Motorcycle

The Sharker, despite its name, has no interest in pulling your top down and exposing your breasts in public. No, it’s cool just being a monocoque motorbike and feeling the occasional butt on its supple leather seat.

While most cars switched to monocoque construction (a technique that supports structural load by using an object’s exterior, as opposed to using an internal frame) back in the ’60s or ’70s, motorcycles have stuck with a traditional supporting framework, sometimes with an added fairing for aerodynamics, pretty much since they were first invented.

The Sharker breaks this tradition by using its sexy carbon bodywork to support the rider, engine, and wheels, resulting in both lower weight and improved stiffness. Performance is impressive, with 140 horses ready to propel the Sharker to over 60 MPH in four seconds. Top speed can vary between 125 and 174 MPH depending on gearing choices.

Neat. So what do you think — is this what motorcycles of the future will look like? No. Is it still cool looking though? A little. Is this what a motorcycle inspired dildo would look like? Absolutely.

holy Homemade War Machine Costume

Superherofhype forum member Masterle247 went and made himself a War Machine costume in anticipation of the new Iron Man 2 movie. It’s super impressive. And it would be even more impressive if he hadn’t posed in front of Talbots at the mall. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure all the moms shopping there were super tickled pink (read: horrified there’s a terrorist at the mall), I just would have posed in front of something a bit more serious. Like the Pretzel Palace or arcade. Or, if you could hold out a few months, with the Easter Bunny! Listen rabbit — you’ll tell me what you did with Jesus or I’ll blast your rodent brains all over this food court. Oooh, Orange Julius!

Hit the jump for several more, including one of War Machine kicking back and drinking a Corona.

Beautiful People Dating Website Drops A Bunch Of Fat Members After Gaining Weight

Beautiful People is a dating website for beautiful people. And apparently 5,000 members got the boot for becoming unbeautiful over the holidays by gaining weight. Big IS beautiful, jerks!

“As a business, we mourn the loss of any member, but the fact remains that our members demand the high standard of beauty be upheld,” said Robert Hintze, founder of BeautifulPeople.com. “Letting fatties roam the site is a direct threat to our business model and the very concept for which BeautifulPeople.com was founded.”

“Is it elitist? Yes, it is, because our members want it to be,” Hodge said when the company started out in 2005. “Is it lookist? Yes, it is, because our members want it to be. Is it PC? No, it’s not, but it’s honest.”

And on this site, beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder; only one in five applicants is normally accepted, a company statement said.

Wow, a dating website exclusively for good looking people. Why didn’t I think of that? Oh right, I did. I’m not only the president — I’m also a client badass wizard. Abracadabra bitches!
