Mondo has announced their new line of clothing called the Mondo 237 Collection, based on the carpet pattern outside room 237 of the Overlook Hotel in the movie The Shining. The orange and magenta pattern trimmed in brown, designed by Sal Giliberto will only mean something to those who know what it represents, but that may be enough to sell a bunch of sweaters, cardigans, scarves, ski masks, door mats, and rugs. The products can be pre-ordered through 10 May and will ship in August — via Neatorama

El Reg readers of a more fatalistic disposition may be dismayed, but probably not surprised, to hear that Cyberdyne — the company that invented Skynet and ultimately the murderous Terminator machines – has just listed on the Tokyo stock exchange.
Of course, it’s not the shadowy defence firm of the iconic Arnie films, which unwittingly brings about the virtual destruction of mankind.
No, this one is a maker of exoskeleton suits
and supports designed to help those with serious muscular, nerve or cerebral damage recover movement.
The firm also produces support gear which can be worn by carers to lift heavy loads and even markets a radiation-shielding disaster recovery
suit for emergency workers.
Innocuous enough, you may think, although so were the origins of the cybermen — via redwolf.newsvine.com
In the 60 years since it was created, the Fender Stratocaster has become a symbol for rockstardom — an axe wielded by musicians from Buddy Holly and Jimi Hendrix to the Arctic Monkeys.
Now, a guitar from the very first production line of Fender Stratocasters is going on sale in Nashville, Tennessee in the US, for a quarter of a million dollars (£150,000).
The sunburst-finish Stratocaster bears the serial number 0100. While some models of the guitar have lower numbers that begin with 0001, George Gruhn, who owns the shop selling the instrument, explained they were manufactured later in that first year of production — via redwolf.newsvine.com

This plush is 12”x12” and about 10” tall, and the horns add about another 3”. The eyes are hand painted plastic safety eyes — via Etsy
