Parents who just can’t wait until after the birth to hold their baby now have a solution: get their fetus 3D-printed. Japan has had this service for a while, but a new one comes courtesy of 3D Babies, which will print a life-size replica so you can preserve those memories forever.

Using a 3D or 4D ultrasound, the company will create a 3D print file of your baby’s face, which you can have placed on a pre-made body in one of two poses and one of three skin colors. There are also three sizes to choose from: 8 inches (“life-sized,” according to 3D Baby) for $600, 4 inches for $400 and 2 inches for $200.

One of the stickiest issues in the conversation about combating online harassment is the fact that it’s, you know, online. The perpetrator is inside the victim’s computer, not under their bed. It’s easy for law enforcement and the public at large to dismiss cyber-stalking as "just trolling," as "boys will be boys," as something clearly less dangerous than the "real thing"—even when perpetrators dig up personal details and deluge victims with explicit threats. Hey, don’t feed the trolls, ladies! Calm down, that’s just the internet!

You can’t make this stuff up. Back in 1988, two diehard Star Trek: The Next Generation fans broke into the Paramount lot in the middle of the night and proceeded to film their own awkward and incompetent “documentary” as they explored the Enterprise sets.

Captain Stone of the Stage 9 Interlopers shows up on camera here and there dressed in his Starfleet uniform. At one point he even accidentally breaks a prop. The whole incident is strangely mesmerizing to watch. It begins with this guy posing next to a headless Starfleet officer from the episode “Conspiracy” as they argue about filming styles, and progresses through shot after shot of awkward instructions from actor to cameraman.

I just wish we had more footage. It seems like a great comedy.
