How awesome is this?? An almost exact replica of Doc Brown's DeLorean from Back to the Future is available to purchase over eBay. It's not the actual model used in the totally awesome trilogy, but according to the seller, it's even better!

This car is what you want, a car that looks exactly like what you saw in the film, with all the cool lights, sounds and buttons you thought the car in the film had (but never really did). People are often really disappointed when they see a prop up close. Movie props are designed to be filmed from a distance, but this car truly looks and feels "real" even up close.

Holy crap!! This is mindblowing! There's a bunch of cool stuff about the car that I'd tell you about, but my eyes started to glaze over when I saw all the text.

The seller is hoping someone wants to buy this replica for almost $130,000. Here's where the De-evolution part comes in: some people are dumb enough to spend that much money on a time machine car that doesn't even work.

....Or does it? BRB.

Sometimes things just don't really need any explaining. Sometimes you just take them for what they're worth, like handerpants. We're not sure what evolutionary purpose these 95% cotton undies provide for your hands, but we still love them.

When you want something from the future to work now, look no further than Dyson. Yeah, that vacuum company that somehow built a bag-less and suction-less hoover or something like that.

The other day, Dyson announced their latest invention, the Air Multiplier Fan that somehow through magic (or Air Multiplier technology and physics), generates a strong breeze without any visible blades.

As high tech and futuristic as this new weird fan can be, here's where it takes a step back in evolution. This thing costs over $300. THREE HUNDRED BUCKS! Plus shipping and handling!

Dyson, when will you learn? Technological development is supposed to help humanity move forward with cool lifestyle changes, not break the bank! If you're offering innovative uses of science for domestic purposes, then try to think with a more logical brain (or wallet). Try to create something that can help the mass population. Build something accessible to all. We're in the middle of a recession right now. The last thing people need right now is an overpriced fan.

Speaking of which, does anyone have $300 I can borrow? I really want one of these.

We've written about cars before on Actual Great Moments in De-Evolution, but never have we covered a car like this! Neiman Marcus is offering all those wealthy people a chance to drive around in a cupcake shaped vehicle:

A 24-volt electric motor, a heavy-duty battery, sheet metal, wire, fabric, wood…and mad genius. Launched at Burning Man as a cooperative art car project, the Cupcake Car sprang from the fevered mind of Bay Area artist Lisa Pongrace and her less-rules-more-laughs posse of artists and techno geeks.

Um...so for $25,000 and a custom flavor, we can scoot around the neighborhood with a matching hat and look like a complete idiot? 

We shouldn't have to explain why we're including this delectable, overpriced and completely useless vehicle as this week's Actual Great Moments in De-Evolution. All we have to say is that $25,000 would be better spent elsewhere. (You know, like medical research? Starving children in Botswana? A non-cupcake wardrobe? You get the idea.)

It's hard to admit, but we're in the middle of a recession. The unemployment rate is up, gas prices are rising and there are more people living on the streets (or maybe that's just my neighborhood). So how can you be smart and cut costs?

No, don't downgrade unnecessary electronics and data plans in your life as any logical, economical person would do.

Instead, keep paying those $100+ monthly bills but frugally spend your money on this Recession friendly cover for your fancy, overpriced iPhone 3G and 3GS! Yup, that's right. This nifty case, made out of 100% corrugated cardboard, not only protects your fragile phone but your wallet, too.

Case Mate is offering this product for only $0.99 each or in a special "Bailout Bundle" that includes 10 cases for $7.99. And that's exactly why their Recession case earns this week's Great Moments in De-Evolution award.

(Yeah...It's not really an award.)

Wednesday means it's time for an Actual Great Moment in De-Evolution and today's blog is devoted to the Finger Nose Hair Trimmer, because trimming your overgrown nose hair isn't embarrassing enough. Now you can look even worse--people will think you're picking your nose! 

Wait, scratch that. You'll just look like a weirdo with a prosthetic finger stuck up your nose. Awesome.

So congratulations, Finger Nose Hair Trimmer, for earning this week's Actual Great Moments in De-Evolution. Your effort to give personal hygiene a cheeky twist is worth applauding. Usually nose hair trimmer designers (yes, that line of work does exist) try to find the most fashionable, discreet and high-tech way to style your lengthy face pubes but why not do the complete opposite? Life is more fun when you're seen with a dismembered finger up the nose.

Here's my question though: why does this only come in one skin color? 

Wednesday means it's time for another Actual Great Moment in De-Evolution, and today's award goes to the Computer Mailbox from Morgan Home Accents, a lovely company that specializes in specialty mailboxes (no, we're not kidding).

In an age where most communication is done digitally, you can now pretend to do the same with the actual snail mail you receive from the post office. Grandma still doesn't know how to email? That's okay, because her annual Christmas card can still come through your computer...literally.

Plus, your paper bills can arrive just like your electronic bills: through your enormous, outdated CRT computer monitor!

This novelty mailbox features a standard metal mailbox hidden instead a solid wood "computer" with a clever door "hidden" in the fake monitor and a dummy keyboard.

Better yet, this huge thing costs only $230.00--almost as much as a real computer! So instead of investing your money in real technology, waste it on a piece of wood that only looks like real technology (albeit from 1996).

Since today's edition of Break Moments in De-Evolution is all about men and their testosterone, our Actual Great Moments is dedicated to Caesar's Palace, who was so inspired by the crazy antics from The Hangover that they created their own special package for you and your "bras" for a weekend on the town. Yes, you heard right.

If you loved The Hangover and wished you could have a similar bachelor weekend in Las Vegas (or if you were like me, wish you were actually a guy so you could have a real bachelor party), then look no further than Caesar's Palace, which is now offering a special deal including two nights in their Double Bay suite, food and bar credit and VIP passes to their nightclubs.

Really! You know all those drunken, wild bachelor parties in Sin City? I always thought those adventures happened without any artificial intervention, but now thanks to this hotel & casino, your unforgettable shenanigans can be pre-planned with the exact setting from The Hangover. You just have to act surprised when a live tiger appears in your suite.

(Just kidding. That's not included. That or the missing best friend, a random baby and a Mike Tyson cameo but they're probably still figuring out the legal stuff over those details.)

The package sounds like a great deal for any trip to Vegas so seriously, if you and your friends take up on this offer, please write down everything that happens so you can pitch this around Hollywood as The Hangover 2: Electric Boogaloo.

This isn't big news, but it had to be said. We're marking Snuggies for Dogs as this week's Actual Great Moment in De-Evolution. I don't care what you say or how much you love being wrapped up in your Snuggies, but these slankets are meant for humans, not animals.

At first, the Snuggie sounds awesome for anyone: a "warm, ultra soft fleece" perfect for outdoor and indoor walks, adjustable size settings and machine washable--that is, until you realize you're talking about a roll of fabric meant to wrap around your dog.

When will people realize that humans have evolved enough to wear clothes and maybe there's a practical reason why animals don't? Isn't that why they're covered in fur? Even Adam and Eve didn't talk about wrapping creatures in fig leaves whie they went on their naming binge in the Garden of Eden. Who does this to their pets!?

If your dog is really that cold, I'm sure Lassie or Fido is smart enough to figure out how to handle the situation. Wishing they could wear some man-made fleece probably doesn't make a blip on their animal instinct radar.

Speaking of which, anyone planning on purchasing this for their dogs? If so, pictures, please!

Living in the 21st century means you're subjected to weekly viral campaigns set off by creative marketing teams trying to capture your short attention span. Yeah, I'm talking about Nike's famous video of Kobe Bryant jumping over a car, Sunsilk's bridezilla who cut her hair off hours before her wedding and even District 9's anti-robot bus stop ads.

But what happens if a viral campaign is just so mysterious that it leaves the public completely confused? Today we're marking the creepy "What Is 230" campaign as this week's Actual Moments in De-Evolution, since the empty website, complete lack of information (despite all the Googling you can do) and annoying presence on Hulu, baseball games, Twitter and billboards everywhere goes to show that sometimes being a little too cutting edge in marketing can send you back to the Dark Ages.

Hey, 230 people. Slow down. Evolve on the same speed as the rest of us. Your viral campaign isn't working because we're only spreading the confusion rather than hype over a new product. And the lack of hints just makes us tired of trying to figure this thing out.

So what is 230? No idea. Some people are speculating a new hybrid vehicle debuting in August 2010 or August 11th, smart people believe it's connected to the American electric grid and others (like me) are predicting the zombie apocalypse via electrical outlets. Beware the electric undead! 

Who knows. I'm just waiting until some Internet geek figures it out and screams "FIRST!!!" on their blog.

Todays' Break Moments covers the hilarious results of self-inflicted pain, or why people don't stop doing things with thumbtacks even if their brains are screaming for them to stop. You know what's even worse? Self-injecting your beautiful face with a giant bagel made out of saline injection.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of crazy body modification stuff because everyone should do whatever floats their boat, but injecting gross salt solutions under your skin to create temporary body bubbles is just weird and unnatural. Nature created your soft smooth skin to mold perfectly to your high-tech skeleton. Modern medical technology was not intended to make your forehead look like it just swallowed a sesame bagel whole. Why the heck would you want to disfigure your face to look like mushy space aliens!?

Oh, Japan.

There's a reason why Internet memes exists. No, these fun catchphrases and photos are not a reflection on how far our culture has fallen in terms of wit and creativity, but a reminder that everything on the Internet is pretty much stupid.

So why turn these popular memes into fine art? We already did this with the Great American Keyboard Cat Competition, but fun geeky toy company Archie McPhee is now offering a nice oil painting of their Squirrel Underpants and the Dramatic Praire Dog.

That's right. These viral and short-lived phenomenoms can now be forever remembered by future generations as fine, distinguished and respected art. Yup, that's art taking one step backwards in today's Great Moments in De-Evolution.

It's only a matter of time before the Louvre will have to open up a new wing dedicated to our favorite memes. I'm predicting a whole fall filled with Impressionist-style cat macro paintings next to a marble fountain of the Moshzilla girl.

Today's Break Moments in De-Evolution shows when home improvement goes wrong. Not everyone is smart dumb enough to use a nail gun on their body, but what happens you combine a little home improvement with technology? Usually you'd get some really cool modded computer towers or something, or in this case, a clunky but sexy looking computer desk made out of flammable material.

So that's why we're featuring artist Marlies Romberg's wooden computer, "Dear Diary 1.0," despite its incredible artistry and craftsmanship, as an Actual Great Moment in De-evolution.

Romberg's inspiration to build the desk was to remind people of "the literal and the figurative manifestation of the worlds colliding. A physical reminder that increasingly, the real and the digital are becoming indistinguishable." Uh...I don't really know what that means, but it's true! We're rapidly moving into a digital world where almost every form of communication can be done online. How does this affect the tangible aspects of our culture? Will we one day be limited to purely living digitally? This is starting to sound like a futuristic thriller starring Bruce Willis.

On the other hand, was it necessary to cut down a tree to build a computer-embedded desk?? There's a reason why the aesthetics of computers have evolved to what they look like today: they're easy to use, adjustable, pretty, you can move the keyboard around when necessary, aren't too flammable and they don't use trees.

So while I agree with the artist's statement about how quickly our culture is evolving into a digital world, I think Romberg's idea of combining the real world with our digital lives would be more poignant if the desk was something we'd be excited to use. You know, use an apple or a taxidermied squirrel as a mouse, or something that makes us think about the natural world while using a digital machine.

Regardless, it's a cool desk. I'd like to order four, please.

Today's Break Moments in De-Evolution revealed the painful conclusions of setting off Fourth of July fireworks on your body, which I'm sure most of you guys wouldn't even attempt to do...right?

So how can you de-evolve your Independence Day without physically harming yourself? Try the Uchiage Hanabi fireworks projector, where you won't even have to venture outside to witness the beauty of lighting up the vast night sky with thousands of colourful chemical explosions.

Nope, you can stay right where you are, which would be on the sofa inside your nicely air-conditioned living room.

This is perfect, right? I mean, who cares about being outside? All that heat and humidity? The smoke? The bugs? The annoying neighbors? And I also hate it when you sit on the grass and your butt gets all wet. Ugh, ANNOYING.

Now thanks to the Uchiage Hanabi projecter, the wonders of fireworks will play out on your ceiling, which means you won't even have to lift your head as you lie prone on your dirty sofa, stuffed full of microwavable hot dogs and stale chips. All you have to do is find a stick long enough to poke the power button from where you are.

I can't wait until Independence Day 2010 rolls around!

It's Wednesday, which means it's another edition of Actual Great Moments in De-Evolution. And we've also sorta kinda covered this topic before with home-made snacks, but FancyFastFood.com takes it to the next level. Anyone can make a cheap bean burrito like Taco Bell, but can you make a gourmet meal out of only Taco Bell bean burritos?

The folks over at Fancy Fast Food definitely can, as you can see by their recipes for quiche, sushi, and more--all made out of fast food meals (aside from the occasional garnish).

I like the way they think, because they're not trying to push the culinary arts into the next big "green" thing with local, organic and sustainable ingredients that somehow save the Earth. These people know how to work with what's ALREADY BEEN MADE!

I can't wait to see their curly fries amuse-bouche, burger confits and McCafe tiramisu desserts.
