Zelda Wedding Rings: A Link to Your Soulmate

If you’re thinking about getting married, and both you and your significant other are into classic video games, then I can’t think of anything better than these Zelda wedding bands as a symbol of your undying commitment to love, honor, and cherish one another (and occasionally dust off the old NES console together.)

Even if your names aren’t Link and Zelda, you’ll still want to wear these rings. They’re actually quite elegant from the outside, and only those in the know will realize the meaning of the Triforce on them. One of them is inscribed with “It’s Dangerous” and the other with “To Go Alone.” Awwwwww. That’s so sweet, I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth. But seriously, these rings are pretty swell.

These were custom made by Toronto jewelry artist Zsolt Székely. They don’t list the pricing for these exact rings on their website, but says that their rings range from $295 for sterling silver designs up to $5000 and beyond for precious metals and diamonds. That’s a whole lot of rupees if you ask me, but well worth the price for something you’ll both cherish for years to come.

One Does Not Simply Dress Up as Mordor

…and Gondor, Eriador, Rohan, Arnor, Rhovanion and Rhun and whatever uncharted land is on Middle Earth. But Flickr user Kristy pulled it off with style at Dragon*Con:

The dress was made by Flickr user Cressiebeth, who said “I worked with a graphic designer who created the “repeat” map pattern and Spoonflower.com printed the map on cotton sateen fabric. I used a vintage Simplicity pattern #3422 as a base for the dress and altered it with scalloping. The clutch was my own design and the “ring” was recycled from an old circle belt buckle.”

I think it’s the fact that it uses only a few colors – and muted ones at that – that prevents the whole thing from devolving into a walking globe costume.

Dollar Bill Art: Defacing Currency for Our Amusement

Now I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to draw on U.S. currency, but the way I see it, it’s your money and you should be allowed to do what you want with it. So while these hacked dollar bills are probably no longer legal tender, they are pretty damned awesome anyhow.

I can’t decide if Bob Ross, the Oompa Loompa or the Lincoln Facehugger is my favorite. All I know is that I’d totally use cash more often than my debit card if paper money were this funny.

Batbane: If Batman and Bane Had a Baby

You find the strangest stuff over on Etsy sometimes. Like this mask which envisions a hybrid between Batman and Bane. The artist who made it likes to call it “Batbane.” I just like to call it straight-up weird.

Grab the Batbane mask for about $163(USD) from Ministry of Masks if you’d like to be the biggest freak in town.

When Gotham is in ruins, you have my permission to take this mask off your head.


Be Glad the Tetris Condom Isn’t “T”-Shaped

If there was a single phrase I thought I would never say in my life, one of them would definitely be “Tetris Condom.” But seeing as YOLO, here goes…

Guys, if your unit is square, red and bumpy, you might want to see a doctor about it.

Zombie Bookends Perfect for Your Walking Dead Collection

While physical books and magazines are clearly going the way of the dodo bird, one genre of print which is still going strong is the graphic novel. And you can’t mention graphic novels these days without mentioning The Walking Dead. Now, you’ll have the perfect place to stash your issues, courtesy of these zombie silhouette bookends.

Of course, they’re also good for books like The Zombie Combat Manual and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. They’re made out of solid steel, and the only thing better would be if they were splashed with a little bit of red lacquer for blood spatter effect. I guess you could always do that yourself.

You can grab a pair of these zombie bookends over on Fancy for $40(USD).

Big Head Squirrel Feeder Lets You Point and Laugh at Nature

If you’ve ever tried to put out seed for birds, you know how much of a pain in the butt those pesky squirrels can be – hogging the feeders and stealing all the birdseed. If you want to get revenge on those meddling little rodents, then here’s a solution.

While the Big Head Squirrel Feeder won’t stop squirrels from eating in your backyard, at least you’ll get some amusement out of the deal. Just fill this oversize squirrel head with feed, and get ready to make fun of the little pests as they chow down.

You can grab the Big Head Squirrel Feeder over at Things You Never Knew Existed for $17.98(USD). And in case it wasn’t obvious enough for you, the product listing has a disclaimer: “food not included.” I wonder if it comes with the squirrel.

How Disney Might Update Star Wars Characters

Now that Disney has purchased Lucasfilm, you might be wondering what sort of stuff we might expect from this $4 billion marriage. While there’s word of Episode VII (and possibly VIII and IX) finally going into production, there are also some less-than-exciting possibilities – like these reimagined, Disnified versions of Star Wars characters by illustrator John Martz.

Though I do think the R2-D2/Wall-E and Ewok/Poo concepts could actually be improvements upon the original characters, I’m not too keen on Yoda with Mickey Mouse ears, or Slave Ariel. And I’m not even going to mention Jar-Jar Goofy.

Oh, and I know you’re thinking it. Han slurped first.
