Sometimes Thor does things that have others shaking their heads. Like his father, for instance. But other people’s approval or disapproval don’t really sway him from what he eventually chooses to do.

Like prance, for instance.

Not that this is the real Thor, of course, because the closest thing you can come to a “real Thor” is Chris Hemsworth and I don’t think he’ll be prancing around in costume anytime soon.

The secrets of Thor’s workout routine is revealed by YouTuber EveryDayThor, who was clearly inspired by Joanna Rohrback’s epic Prancercise video. It’s pretty funny, so if you’re bored and looking for something to kill the next two minutes, then check the clip out below.

At the June 8 match between the Phoenix Mercury and the Indiana Fever, the WNBA introduced a new camera that put viewers incredibly close to the action on court. Made by Broadcast Sports Inc., the “ref cam” is a small camera that takes video from the referee’s perspective. Referee Lamont Simpson got first dibs on the wearable camera. I’m sure his whistle was highly insecure that day.

Here’s some of the shots that the camera took in its debut appearance:

And here’s a bonus clip from ESPN, showing Simpson calling a technical foul: Edit: ESPN made the YouTube video private. Sorry guys. Simpson said that he found it awkward at first. He said that he had to keep on adjusting the headset the entire first half because it moved around when he became sweaty. But he also said that he got used to it by the second half. Simpson can’t get too attached to it just yet though, because for now the ESPN and the WNBA will decide when the ref cam will be used. They should make pro golfers wear these so we can all tune in for some in-your-face walks in beautiful parks.

There’s word on the street that a new Plants vs. Zombies game is being announced at E3 this week. So with the game back on the minds of many, what better time to grab this awesome collection of PvZ amigurumis.

This epic collection was created by Komang Damiani and includes a whopping 23 individual Plants and other weapons from your garden.

Unfortunately, The zombies seem to be nowhere to be found in this handmade collection of yarn plants.

Still it’s a pretty great collection for anyone who loves the game. The complete set will set you back $190(USD), so that’s less than $9 per plant. Now all you need is a bunch of crocheted zombies to go with. Oh, they make those too…

A couple of weeks ago we saw a crochet hook that looks like a lightsaber. This DIY project on the other hand gives you a knitting implement that looks like a lightsaber, except this time it also lights up. Not that you’d want to knit in the dark.

Instructables member Random_Canadian came up with the design. He used small LED flashlights as the base. He replaced the white LEDs in the flashlights with red and green, but you can pick whatever color you want. He then used acrylic rods as needles, because the rods focus and extend the light from the LEDs.

Force browse to Instructables to find out how you can make your own lightsaber knitting needles.

So your pet turtle looks pretty wimpy. He is all slow and his shell is just not badass enough. Well, give him an ego boost and make him look tougher with this crocheted Bowser sweater.

That’s right. He will be big, mean and green. King Koopa! Just don’t dress like Mario, or he will kick your arse all over the place. You will turn him into a monster.

This awesome turtle sweater was created by Jennifer Olivarez for her friend’s turtle as part of the Make It! Challenge series on her blog Squirrel Picnic.
