Though it might not seem like it, Jabba the Hut does take the�occasional�sponge bath. His only requirements are that the bathing slaves pay extra heed to his Hutnesses wiener�and that they do so only with Han Solo in Carbonite Soap. For only $6.50 a pop you and the Hut can have at least one thing in common – the ownership ...

Remember when albums used to actually come in hard form? When we actually had to walk into a brick and mortar “record store,” as they used to refer to them, and purchase a tangible product (which would later be used in some pretty creative ways)? Those days might be long gone, or at least going extinct fast, but the legacy ...

After nearly four years of solid effort, nearly all of which is documented on his site, Ben Heck has finished his Bill Paxton Pinball machine. Based on the “endlessly quotable films of Bill Paxton,” the pinball machine was manufactured completely and utterly from scratch by the Heck-man himself, aside from a few stock items, such as the flippers. It is ...

$200 is a lot of hard-earned dough to shell out for one device. Especially when there are so many other pending responsibilities. I don’t really blame this guy for taking the low road and offering a slightly higher reward for someone else’s iPod Touch. Sure, it might be just short of robbery, but “losers weepers,” right?

Of course not, come on, could you see Vader gaming to the tune of Super Mario Bros? I think not. No, the Darth man likes ...

Quirk Classics, publishers of both Pride and�Prejudice�and Zombies, and Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters is getting geared up to release their next satirical work, this time taking aim at Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina with the aptly named Android Karenina. Ben H. Winters retells the classic through the eyes of, well, pretty much a geek. Including plenty of sensual android ...

I always suspected something was amiss. R2 was pretty chubby. Now if all of that space was filled with super technological circuitry, you’d think he’d at least be able to talk. Now we know exactly why he couldn’t do more. Most of his body was filled with friggen’ birds! Those poor little birds must have developed some sort of ailments ...

Well, it’s your tenth birthday, son. And you know what that means. Time for your first cigarette! No, don’t fight back. It’s for your own good. It’ll help you grow into a real man, like me, and R2-D2! You like R2-D2 right? That’s right, breathe deep. In honor of your first mini-stogy�I’ve taken it upon myself to adorn your cake ...

The Sarlacc’s Great Pit of Carkoon looks like it was recreated using an educational female anatomy model, but other than that this recreated scene from the Return of the Jedi looks just about right. I’d love to see the entire movie series recreated this way. That would just make my year. Link

Now, if this were a REAL lightsaber, not only would it be a great desk lamp, but it could also make an excellent paper shredder / boss disposal tool. As you know, lightsabers make everything cooler.
