Yoshi is so considerate. Look at him lovingly using his tongue to wrap around your neck (who knows where that neck has been!) This crocheted Yoshi scarf is lovingly honed by Etsy user ShadowsInTheNyte. Usually used to suck down apples (and in the new game, even your fellow teammates), Yoshi’s most valuable appendage comes in handy on even the most ...

After nearly four years of solid effort, nearly all of which is documented on his site, Ben Heck has finished his Bill Paxton Pinball machine. Based on the “endlessly quotable films of Bill Paxton,” the pinball machine was manufactured completely and utterly from scratch by the Heck-man himself, aside from a few stock items, such as the flippers. It is ...

While I’ve heard mixed reviews of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland (as is typical with Burton films), there’s no denying the charm of these Alice in Wonderland-inspired mini LEGO sculptures. Including the Mad Hatter (played by a very Madonna-esque Johnny Depp in Burton’s outing) and Alice herself. I believe designer Tommy Williamson was going for a relatively�minimalist�theme, using as few ...

The second I saw this head I couldn’t help but be reminded of Hannibal Lector and his preference for dining on human flesh. This is almost too realistic to eat, unlike the orange-yellow Cheddar color of the Lincoln Cheese bust. Something tells me I’d get that weird, uncanny feeling when it came time to dig in to the Steve Jobs ...

We’ve already posted about several shower curtains which would fit in with a horror theme, some more subtle then others (we’re looking at you Robert Pattinson curtain!), and we were thinking, there’s gotta be more�accessories�we can add to our bathroom to really make it a bloody, terrifying mess. And wouldn’t you know it? We were right. The Bloody Shower Mat ...

While I’m usually an ardent protestor against the waste of perfectly good bread, this Super Mario Toast Mosaic is a definite exception. Even if no one is going to eat the burned pieces, the waste of food was totally worth the photo op. Check out the creative use of the bun-shaped pieces for the buttons of Mario’s overalls. Now all ...

Damian Kulash from the band OK Go, no slouches at creating viral video in their own right, had some fun with the crowd during a panel on creating viral videos at SXSW in Austin, Texas. Kulash encouraged the crowd to participate in this homage to Surprised Kitty. If you don’t remember Surprised Kitty, you can see the video after the ...

No, I wasn’t kidding. In pretty much every epic battle print I’ve seen featuring a shark, the shark is getting owned, whether it be by an iron-fisted nun or Batman wielding a lightsaber. But then again, I guess the shark really hasn’t had a fair fight. The wrath of God and the Force aren’t really something any creature should mess ...

For those of you who have encountered the red ring of death before, the process of laying your Xbox 360 to rest should be familiar – shipping your defunct console back to Microsoft in a cardboard bow which has been lovingly coined the Xbox 360 coffin. Now, you can cut out the middle man and provide a proper burial for ...

Thank God for this sign because lord knows that if a fire were to break out, twittering about it would naturally be my first reaction. I know my priorities. Well… no matter. My shoes will do the tweeting for me. Link
