Lady Gaga Cookies

In homage to the greatest thing to happen to pop in decades, fffireburns and their friend Matt created these awesome Lady Gaga cookies, inspired by some of her more notable and unorthodox outfits. Each cookie has its own unique piece of Gaga attire so you can just imagine the fierceness. Funny, I my�reoccurring�dream of a dinosaur biting off Lady Gaga’s ...

Mario Meets Michelangelo: La Piet Goes Geek

Based on Michelangelo’s famed sculpture, La Piet (which you can see after the jump), designer Kordian Lewandowski used a block of polystyrene foam to complete his very own work of art – the Nintendo-inspired Game Over sculpture. Measuring slightly taller than an averaged sized man (seems to be about six-feet tall), Game Over mixes the drama of Renaissance art with ...

1-Down Mushroom Could Just Ruin a Plumber’s Day

Even fictional plumber’s have nightmares. And if Mario does in fact dream, this is 1-Down Mushroom is surely the culprit that keeps him up at night. While he’s never actually seen one in the wild (or so he tells the cops), in fact their actual existence is questionable, his mother used to tell him that if he didn’t go to ...

Braille Rubik’s Cube for the Blind

The world of a blind geek must be a difficult one. Many of the luxuries we take for granted (watching Star Wars, reading fanfiction, witnessing Steve Jobs unveil the newest device in the Apple arsenal) just aren’t possible for the blind to the extent that the fully-functional among us have become accustomed to.

Alice in Wonderland’s Mad Hatter and Alice Come to Life Through LEGOs

While I’ve heard mixed reviews of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland (as is typical with Burton films), there’s no denying the charm of these Alice in Wonderland-inspired mini LEGO sculptures. Including the Mad Hatter (played by a very Madonna-esque Johnny Depp in Burton’s outing) and Alice herself. I believe designer Tommy Williamson was going for a relatively�minimalist�theme, using as few ...

Steve Jobs Cheese Head is Actually Pretty Creepy

The second I saw this head I couldn’t help but be reminded of Hannibal Lector and his preference for dining on human flesh. This is almost too realistic to eat, unlike the orange-yellow Cheddar color of the Lincoln Cheese bust. Something tells me I’d get that weird, uncanny feeling when it came time to dig in to the Steve Jobs ...

Bloody Shower Mat: The Easy Way to Shatter Any Chance of a Good First Impression

We’ve already posted about several shower curtains which would fit in with a horror theme, some more subtle then others (we’re looking at you Robert Pattinson curtain!), and we were thinking, there’s gotta be more�accessories�we can add to our bathroom to really make it a bloody, terrifying mess.

Batman Takes on a Shark With a Lightsaber

No, I wasn’t kidding. In pretty much every epic battle print I’ve seen featuring a shark, the shark is getting owned, whether it be by an iron-fisted nun or Batman wielding a lightsaber. But then again, I guess the shark really hasn’t had a fair fight. The wrath of God and the Force aren’t really something any creature should mess ...
