10 REALLY Wierd Instructables

I'm a big fan of the user powered do-it-yourself site instructables.com. Nothing satisfies us geeks like building it ourselves, and you can go there to find how-to's on pretty much anything imaginable. As a matter of fact, you can find instructions on how to do things you probably never even imagined! We've compiled a list of 10 of the most audaciously outlandish instructables instructions we could find.


1. How to Clean Your Sinuses

This is the instructable that started this idea. I've had a cold for the past few days and was wondering if there was a better way than blowing my nose into a tissue to get the snot out of my head. I'm sure there is, but I'm equally sure this is not it. The only thing stranger than this instructable is the fact that someone developed a device explicitly for this purpose.


2. Green Keyboard
It seems everyone is doing their part to save our planet from destruction. Make your favorite hippy's keyboard "green" by planting seeds on the keys.

"For an English Cottage Garden feel, thimbles and fishing line can be used to make hanging baskets. Superglue them to the front of his/her monitor."


3. Condom Ecosphere

While we're lending a hand to Mother Gaia, why not make a self-sustaining ecosystem in a (preferably unused) sperminal terminal? Then you can call your mom and tell her you just let loose your little swimmies into a Trojan.


4. Instant Legal Shoes
I'm originally from West Virginia so I was born knowing this trick. As a matter of fact, my momma wore these Instant Legal Shoes to the hospital when she birthed me. Shoes are just another way the government fat cats are trying to oppress the hillbilly. Fight the power!


5. Defeat the Stare-Down

If a fat baby with a dot on its forehead ever accosts you you'll now know how to ward off his evil baby gaze. (Why am I saying "if"? Who hasn't been accosted by a baby with a dot on its forehead?)


6. Perfect Oreo Dunk

If your brains are made out of cottage cheese and you can't figure out how to put a cookie in milk, fret not. Dear Mr. Philbar has written instructions that will end your torment and allow you to join the rest of Oreo-dunking society.


7. How to Sit on Your Stoop

Another no-brainer (or cottage cheese brainer if you prefer) is how to sit on your stoop. This one was written to be comical, so I'll cut them some slack. Secretly, this one was mostly just added to the list as a segway to the next item...


8. Poop Prop

From stoop to poop! If you often find yourself needing poop but not needing to take a poop than this instructable is for you. Someone in the comments suggested to "find a way to make it stink". I suggest using real poop for that.



9. How to Lock Someone to a Tree...

I have to admit, this one is pretty cool, and you've gotta love the MIDI music playing for the video. It's so Double Dragon. I wonder how many kids tried this by themselves and got stuck to a tree for hours before anyone found them?



10. Mobile Stripper Pole

The biggest problem with strip clubs is that they're stationary. This instructable solves that problem. If you live in a trailer park (which you probably do if you made a portable stripper pole) you can send pictures of yourself and your new pole and the author will post them on the instructable.
