A Coffee Table for Cats

If you’ve got a cat, you know they like to get into places they shouldn’t, and if your anipal is anything like our cat, Mr. Lucky, he wants to be where the people are all the time. Well if you’re sick of kitty stepping all over the top of your coffee table, but want to give him or her a place to hang out nearby, here’s a solution for you.

This clever coffee table incorporates a stretchy and soft woven cat hammock underneath, so kitty can rest comfortably under your feet, without being under foot.

This table was designed a couple of years ago by Koichi Futatsumata for Case-Real, and it can be ordered from E&Y for the rather princely sum of ¥199,000 (~$2118 USD). For those of us who don’t feel like spending two grand on our cats, you can always just buy them a Cat Crib.

Millenium Falcon Turntable: Wookie Wookie

In a club far, far away, Marco of Picotek Design must be wowing the crowd not just with his beats but with his one-of-a-kind gear as well. His highly modified turntable is based on another highly modified piece of equipment: the freighter-turned-smuggler’s ship Millenium Falcon.

Marco said he stumbled upon the toy replica of Han Solo’s ship and got it for a mere $2 (USD), albeit with some of its parts missing. He stowed it away for a couple of years, then one day decided to combine it with another relic from the 70s, a Technics 1200 turntable. Marco says he’ll upload more pictures of the turntable soon.

Frosty the Snow Dalek Was a Jolly Happy EXTERMINATE!!! EXTERMINATE!!!

England has been having quite a bad winter this year, with snow continuing well into this month. That’s why I wouldn’t be surprised if Doctor Who landed his TARDIS somewhere in the UK and encountered this… a snow Dalek.

Thankfully, Davros didn’t create an actual snow Dalek. It’s just a harmless sculpture made by DeviantArtist E-The-Zombie and her sister Fezhead11, and it’s not even in the UK.

While a snow Dalek might want to exterminate you, the good news is that you can actually just pour warm water over it to put it out of commission. I suppose that’s easier than having to install staircases everywhere.

Psychedelic Plumber: Mario on ‘Shrooms

I always wondered if any of the fungi in the Mushroom Kingdom were hallucinogenic – especially the ones that turned Mario into a flying raccoon or made him bigger. Well now we have our answer.

In Josh Mirman’s illustration, Psychedelic Plumber, we get a look at Mario the way that he might have looked if we were eating some of the same ‘shrooms that he did. Actually, I always imagined that this is what the world looks like when you eat one of those Mario stars.

The image is comprised of colorful triangles which will definitely drive your eyes wild if you look at them for too long. That said, it would be cool if Nintendo made a Mario game using triangular shapes instead of square pixels.

Spider-Beard, Spider-Beard, Does Whatever a Spider-Beard Does…

For the first time in my many years, I’ve started to grow a little bit of a beard. But it’s more of a Miami Vice, Don Johnson five-o-clock shadow thing than a real, manly beard. On the other hand, this guy has this facial hair thing nailed…

Chad Roberts took home both the Best-in-Show and Freaky Funky Free Style award at the 2nd Annual Garden State Beard & ‘Stache Competition (yes, there is such a thing) vanquishing his many hairy foes with the ultimate Spider-Man beard.

I wonder if he had to spin some webs of various sizes to hold that thing in place like that.

Iron Man Repulsor Desk Lamp: Stark out of the Dark

Tony Stark has an arsenal of toys and armor that even Bruce Wayne would be envious of. But he doesn’t have a cool desk lamp – that is, until now.

I know not from whence this awesome Iron Man Repulsor desk lamp originated, but Marvel needs to steal this idea now and put it into production in time for the release of Iron Man 3 this summer.

Who Ordered the Dalek Pizza with Extra Extermination?

The Daleks are the most fearsome creatures that the universe has to offer. They must be since they keep “almost” destroying Earth, the universe and everything in it. The Doctor has known no stronger foe. And now, feast your eyes on the supreme Dalek with extra cheese.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was during the great time war that the Doctor banished the Daleks from time itself. However, unbeknownst to him, one Dalek survived in the resulting chaos as an un-reality bubble landed in a pizzeria just as a baker was flinging some dough. The Daleks had their agent for their eventual return. The extreme supreme extra cheese, full-pepperoni Dalek was born.

If they can not kill us from without, they would kill us from within. Dalek pizzas were made. With heartburn searing human insides so intensely that humans turned to ash after two hours of digestion, they began their plan for domination (and a thriving pizza chain named Taste of Skaro). Their plan would have worked perfectly. If only that damned blue box hadn’t shown up to pick up an order. And that was the end of the great Dalek pizza master plan.

Breaking Bad Teddy Bear Cake: Baking Bad

How do you recreate that classic moment from Breaking Bad when the teddy bear falls into the pool? You make a cake honoring the pink bear with the missing eye. Actually the waterlogged teddy appeared in many episodes in Season 2, but it has never looked so delicious as this.
breaking bad
Redditor hollyicing made this cake while suffering a hangover from the night before – yes, she was truly Baking Bad. It looks just like the burned teddy bear that fell into Walter White’s swimming pool. She says that it is a variation of a madeira cake that’s lemon and passion fruit flavor with passion fruit butter icing and stacked using home made passion fruit and lemon jam. Sounds lovely to me.

The eyeball was going to be a Gobstopper, but she couldn’t get a plain white one the right size so it is white marzipan instead. She splashed it with black food dye and then burnt some of it to get the look just right.

Isn’t it just the sweetest thing you’ve ever seen?

Lightsaber Toilet Plunger and Millennium Falcon Toilet Seat: May the Flush Be with You

This belonged to your father. He wanted you to have it. It is a plumbing tool from a more civilized age. And here, have this Millenium Falcon Toilet seat too.
lightsaber plunger
This is the best toilet plunger ever and all it takes is replacing the wooden rod from your plunger with a lightsaber. The falcon toilet seat is obviously Photoshopped, but it is still a good idea. Just don’t get into lightsaber fights with your plumber friends. That could be disgusting. That saber has been in the toilet for God’s sake. Then again, it might be a good deterrent for your opponent, and they might just run off.

I think we need a whole line of Star Wars bathroom accessories like these. Maybe an Admiral Ackbar toilet seat that says, “It’s a crap!” Oh, we already have that.

The Walking Dead is Back: Now What to Eat During the Zombie Apocalypse…

Like millions of you out there, I’m stoked for the Season 3.2 return of The Walking Dead tonight. In honor of the occasion, our friends over at KitchenOverlord have put together a little recipe you can throw together, even while the zombie horde descends on your camp.

walking dead pesto

This Dandelion Green and Walnut Pesto can be easily assembled from items foraged in Georgia – with the exception of maybe the lemon. And there is that little part about needing a blender and electricity… Oh well, maybe it’s impractical after the zombies attack, but at least you can make some for tonight and toss it with some pasta. I’d go with red colored pasta so it looks like guts, of course.
