The headline pretty much says it all.
All I can say is thank God she’s got more than a sonic screwdriver.
Balloon Cthulhu was made by Tim Thurmond, aka The Balloon Sculptor. Check out the construction of this epic beast in the video clip below:

Artist and writer Josh Adams caused a mathemagical wave of retweets when he posted his fiancé’s Jake the Dog engagement ring. I hope it’s actually Jake.
Best of luck to you and your Lady Rainicorn Josh!

Fashionably Geek reader Kevin Pacheco had Konami’s transcendent cheat code tattooed on his arm.
Apparently the images of the buttons and directional pads are the same size as the ones on the NES controller.
I wonder what kind of cheat codes we’ll have in the future, when games run on virtual reality headsets and gesture-based controllers.

We’ve already seen an intricate cake that replicates Jupiter, but here’s a space-inspired cake that lands a little closer to home. This lunar landing cake needs to fly off of its orbit around Earth and crash land on my dinner table.
This Moon cake was made a couple of years ago by Deborah over at It’s a piece of cake for her son’s 10th birthday. Lucky kid. The cake does a great job simulating the cratered surface of the natural satellite, and has a couple of little astronauts there ready to plant the American flag and to collect some buttercream frosting samples. Unlike our actual moon, this one is filled with chocolate fudge cake with white chocolate chips. I consider that a major improvement over rock.
So much for my low carb diet. I’m running out to buy a cake tonight.

As tough as Wookiees are, even they have trouble cracking walnuts. Walnuts are tough. The toughest walnut ever? That would be this Chewbacca walnut, presumably created by midichlorians. Wookiee nuts have been known to rip the arms off of those who try to open them.
That’s right, I said Wookiee nuts and I refuse to make the obvious joke. This happy and cartoony looking Chewbacca was found in Ripplin’s backyard, where he has a huge black walnut tree that channels the force and make prophesy come true.
I just know that if you plant this in the ground, a Wookiee tree will grow. Because I believe in that kind of magic.

Entertainer Phileas Flash made this gloomy balloon sculpture of Ned Stark sitting on the Iron Throne. I think it’s based on this poster from the first season of Game of Thrones. A series so heartwrenching it even makes balloon sculptures a sad sight. We get it George! Nice guys finish last. We get it.
A balloon sculpture of Joffrey would have been more appropriate.

This statue of Mario must have been fed a Super Mushroom, because he’s big enough to run and jump around in our world. According to its seller, the statue is 150 cm. or about 5 ft. tall. I’m not sure if that’s Mario’s official height, but it seems about right.
You can get the statue from Amazon Japan for ¥ 285,000 (~$2,900 USD). If you’re not a Mario fan, the seller also has other life-sized statues, including one of Spider-Man, Mazinger Z and Tetsujin 28 aka Gigantor.

LEGO master Iain Heath rides the gigantic Internet wave carved by SyFy’s too bad to be fake Z-movie. Really though, concepts like that should only come from a child’s doodles and never go beyond this level. A LEGO toy. Perhaps a web comic. Maybe an animated short. It could work as an online series. Oooor…
Yeaaaah no. This is enough for me.
