When the Burger King in Helsinki, Finland says “Have it Your Way,” they aren’t kidding. Now you can relax and have a steam bath with your Whopper. Yes, this Burger King sauna actually exists. What’s weird about a couple of near naked guys enjoying a steam bath while eating Whoppers?

Pakayak may be the best name ever for a kayak company, but there is a reason for that name. The Bluefin 14 is a kayak that collapses down so small that you can carry it on your back.

Last year, we checked out a lightsaber replica that used a stream of flammable liquid as a substitute for the blade. The Hacksmith had a similar idea for a real life version of Psylocke’s psi-blade. But because Betsy’s blade is wider and wilder than the Jedi weapon, its maker opted to engulf a katana in flames.

YouTuber Daniel Perdomo and his friends made one of the coolest video game replicas of the year so far. It’s a physical replica of the classic game PONG. It’s basically a magnetic, mechanical version of air hockey.
