Instructables is a great place to go seeking inspiration for your latest idea or just burning a lot of spare time. But this particular Instructable has that perfect mix of novelty, ease and creepiness. "Surrealist Human Hand Stick Shifter" is an eight-step project which uses simple mold-making and silicone to cast a replica human hand suitable for replacing that tacky old eight-ball shifter. May we be the first to venture a "GAH!" and to also point out that this idea could be perversely repurposed in any number of successively terrible ways.
