Ok, just four words are required to describe this object:
BEST. SERVING. DISH. EVER.
It was made by Gretchen of Three Little Monkeys Studio using a cheap kid’s dinosaur toy, a melamine plate, some glue and paint. Best thing is, you can easily make your own for less that $10. While it’s shown here serving up some OREOs, I think it would also work well with chunks of raw meat for fondue.

What gamer girl wouldn’t want a pair of Ms. Pac-Man high heels? They look sexy and stylish. These heels are made for gaming. And that’s just what they’ll do… You know what they say, High heels, high scores.
These Ms. Pac-Man shoes were made by Tilted Shoes on Etsy and you won’t find a better high heel game shoe of the Ms. Pac-Man variety. So what if they cost $186(USD) a pair? You can’t put a price on wearing a video game on your feet.
Who knows? Maybe you will meet a guy wearing some Pac-Man shoes and have lots of little Pac-Man Juniors.

This Han Solo LEGO pixel art from The Sydney Brick Show this past April is mindblowingly cool. If you aren’t familiar with the event, it’s an opportunity for Australian LEGO sculptors bring some of their creations and get together with other fans.
Skels from Geek Crafts shared some of the best things that she saw there and among them is this amazing pixelated Han Solo LEGO sculpture. This entire piece is said to be about 1 meter squared and is comprised of over TWENTY THOUSAND bricks.
Yes, you read that right. Why so many? Because those pieces are the tiny “one-ers” that are always all over your kid’s floor, waiting to stab you in the feet.
So you have a LEGO purse and LEGO shoes, now all you need is the dress to go with. But this isn’t just an everyday dress – this is a wedding dress, made entirely from LEGO bricks.
The LEGO dress was designed by Japanese artist Rie Hosokai – inspired by his prior work – a similarly-shaped wedding dress made from balloons. It was created for the Piece of Peace LEGO exhibition in Tokyo, Japan.
Unfortunately, it’s completely immobile, so the groom and wedding party will have to come to the bride, but that’s a small price to pay for such an awesome work of LEGO construction and creativity.

It’s a sad fact that when nature and man collide, nature usually loses. Many of us hate to cut down trees, but sometimes you have no choice. Maybe it is mandated by local authorities or maybe it needs to go because it is in danger of falling. Isn’t it much better to carve a dragon out of that fallen tree, instead of just turning it into firewood? Hell yes!
Redditor Aboiement’s neighbor paid an unnamed artist to sculpt this amazing dragon from the trunk of this deceased tree. It looks awesome and now his front yard is basically a fantasy realm. I bet hobbits and orcs come to fight it in the wee hours when no one is looking. I guess the guy carved this with his magical powers and then just walked off into the sunset, not seeking glory or anything.
One imgur commenter said it best…
“The dragon was always there, he just removed the tree bits.”

It sucks that we have to ride around in Honda Civics and the like, they are driving Landspeeders and piloting X-Wings in a galaxy far, far away; not to mention the Millennium Falcon. But hey, you can make your car look like it is part of the Star Wars universe and protect it from those hot Tatooine suns at the same time.
This amusing Millennium Falcon vehicle sun reflector is the perfect way to protect your car and keep it looking geeky at the same time. It’s only $21.99(USD), which is a whole lot less than building your own spaceship.
Anything that makes your ride look more like the Falcon inside, complete with crew, is good with me.

A couple of years ago we saw a pretty sweet Scion xB that was modded as an homage to 8-bit gaming. It would’ve been more awesome if it had this engine. It’s a Honda Civic B series engine made to look like a NES controller, complete with the Konami Code at the bottom.
What I really want to see is a car with a NES controller for a steering wheel – er, steering controller.

In case you missed it, back on April 25th, there was a partial lunar eclipse. While it wasn’t visible everywhere, it definitely was seen by photographer Tamas Ladanyi, who captured this cool multiple exposure image of the 27-minute-long event as it appeared over Tihany, Hungary.
I’ve cropped the image so you can see the most important part, but you can check out the full image over on Tamas’ website, or grab a wallpaper version from NASA. In the mean time, if you happen to live in the South Pacific, there’s another partial lunar eclipse which should be visible from May 9th through 10th.
Most movie marketing is all about creating cool looking posters and teasing us with short trailers, but there is some clever marketing happening in Taiwan for Star Trek Into Darkness. Check out Benedict Cumberbatch locked in his cell in the Ximending Shopping District.
All of the passers-by are probably wondering why this guy was locked up and why an entire prison cell was transported off the Enterprise and back into time.
With this campaign they are really thinking outside of the box. Or maybe I should say cell.

deviantART contributor/artist/bakologist Nicole William not only has two first names for a name, she’s also great at baking. Here’s a fondant cake she made for one of her biology classes three years ago. It’s a cross-section of an animal cell, complete with labels of its parts.
Mmmm… Giant edible animal cell.
I’m guessing whoever matched the label correctly got to eat the corresponding part.
