Oh My Glob! Doctor Who Meets Adventure Time

Doctor Who gets mashed up with Adventure Time in this amazing piece of art by James Hance. You got your Doctor Who in my Adventure Time! No, your Adventure Time is in my Doctor Who!

It is absolutely perfect. I would pay to see this show. Finn is the Eleventh Doctor and Jake is the Tenth. Lumpy Space Princess is an Adipose. Of course. Ice King is a Weeping Angel, while Gunther and his pals are Daleks. The TARDIS? BMO of course. The only thing missing is that he should have put Princess Bubblegum in here as Amy Pond. How perfect would that have been?

This mural  is done with acrylic paint, measures about 4×5 feet and is now on the wall of Hance’s 9-year-old daughter’s room. I wish I had this on the wall of my house. Thankfully, James does plan on offering the design on prints and t-shirts in the next couple of weeks. Mathematical!

The Lock N’ Load Gun Alarm Clock – catch the morning off guard

Gun Alarm Clock
Most days it’s pretty difficult to pry yourself from bed. It’s so warm, soft, and inviting, which is a stark contrast to what everything else about morning is like. Alarms blare at you to open your eyes and move to action, but it’s too easy to hit a button and go back to dreamland.

If you want more of a reason to spring from your bed in the mornings, then the Lock N’ Load Gun Alarm Clock can help with that. This is a digital clock that has a target with a red-lit center point that will spring up as soon as the alarm goes off. It will be your task to find the gun that comes with it, and hit the center to shut it off. While this seems like it would more like give you a heart attack than anything, it will help with your aim and reaction timing.

There are several different game modes which can help you to change things up every now and again. You’ll have options such as Quick Shot, in which you’ll need to pull off five perfect shots within three minutes, Time Mode where your challenge will be to see how quickly you wake up in the mornings, and a regular pop-up and shoot. This will cost around $24 should you be interested in making waking up more of a challenge rather than a passive situation. You could also move the gun and alarm clock the night before to make sure you’re not waking up and aiming at the same place everyday.  However, you’ll need to be prepared for the times where you want to shoot this thing off of the dresser, with a gun that didn’t come with the clock.

4.4 billion-year-old crystal points to chill early Earth

A tiny piece of crystal found on a sheep farm in Australia is giving researchers insight into the very early formation of the Earth and its crust. The microscopic zircon crystal under study is said to be made of the oldest known material formed on Earth, dating from soon after the molten rock that originally formed the planet had cooled.

The discovery helps to push the clock back on the formation of oceans and early life. “This confirms our view of how the Earth cooled and became habitable. This may also help us understand how other habitable planets would form,” says lead researcher John Valley, a professor at the University of Wisconsin at Madison.

The study, titled “Hadean age for a post-magma-ocean zircon confirmed by atom-probe tomography,” was published Sunday in the journal Nature Geoscience. “Hadean age” refers to Earth’s first geologic eon.
