8-Bit Costume Makes Your Friends Look High-Def in Comparison
I know, summer has barely begun, but it’s never too early to start hunting for that perfect Halloween idea. Kiel Johnson and Klai Brown created this awesome 8-Bit costume, lovingly referred to as “Gary,” by cutting out large cube-shaped pixels out of high-density foam sheets. The pixels are attached to an articulated cardboard structure to provide wearability in all three or our dimensions. In total, the designing duo cut out around 4000 pixels, some of which will be used for... Continue reading
Knife + Fork = The Knork
While not as linguistically pleasing as the spork (it just has a good mouth feel, ya know?) or as entertaining as the Zing, the Knork molds together two essential eating utensils, without the worry of cutting your mouth open in the process. The Knork contains no sharp edges, so there’s no worries that you’ll accidentally slice yourself a nice Glasgow smile. The Knork is used by placing a finger on a special platform and rocking the Knork back and forth.... Continue reading

Wonder Woman Gets a Modern Makeover
After nearly 70 years of wearing the same sexy costume, Wonder Woman has been given a makeover. But that’s not the only change in store. In Wonder Woman issue #600, writer J. Michael Straczynski also delves back into Wonder Woman’s past, reexamining her origins. Instead of being raised as Amazon royalty, Diana was smuggled from the island as a baby when her home was destroyed. Presumably, she’s since been raised on the mainland, where she’s clearly aware of her background,... Continue reading

His and Hers Chromosome Bath Towels
Significant others are very often met in the workplace. It’s true. Second only to school, you’d have to believe that work is the top breeding ground. If you’re a biologist, and you meet that special someone in the laboratory, before you can do a little cell splicing of your own, it’s only proper to live together for a while and see how things go before starting a family. Though as biologists, you know how many germs live on bathroom towels,... Continue reading
Walk Me You Must
The Force is strong with this one. A quick analysis of this subject’s fecal matter confirms it. The midi-chlorian count is off the charts. We were wrong about Anakin.
