This 3′ ghastly gourd emits a cloud of billowing fog from its mouth, greeting Halloween revelers with a creeping, eerie cloud. The $499 jack o’ lantern’s infernal smile and slanted, ominous eyes suggest imminent malevolence while an internal mister converts water into plumes of fog. Red, blue, green, and yellow LEDs inside the jack o’ lantern provide a creepy luminescence from the eyes, nose, and mouth. Made from weatherproof 1/2″-thick fiberglass, the jack o’ lantern has the authentic markings of a mature pumpkin just pulled from the vine, including deep surface ridges, an 8″ stem, and four leaves. The base holds up to six gallons of water, enabling it to continuously produce fog for several hours.

The GXV Unimog will be seeing its last days of superiority this year. The original model was founded in 1945, with modifications being made almost every year over the past 64 years. Well known for its ability to accept almost any kind of diesel as well as sulfur rich fuel usually offered in second to third world countries, this vehicle will run on just about anything(and yes, that includes bio diesel as well). Retailing for $380,000 2009 is the final year to get your hands on this luxurious vehicle, as Unimog has announced that they will no longer be releasing new models in the states. There are more pictures!

I hope she is okay, and that products like this will help prevent bike accidents. Unfortunately there is no word on price or availability. [via]
