A Stanford University study determined that if a virus is placed on the screen of a cellphone, 30% of it will be transmitted to other people’s hands, which soon enough make it into other people’s orifices; eyes, mouths, anuses, whatever. But that’s the least of my worries. What I’m more concerned about is that cellphones hold 18 times more bacteria ...

Personally, I don’t really see the resemblance, at all. This bacon bust looks more like the love child of Conan O’Brien and Bill Clinton than a sculpture of Sir Kevin Bacon. J&D Foods teamed up with bacon-crafting blog What Do Bacon Do to create this Bacon Bust of Kevin Bacon. The bacon bust is available for purchase on eBay and ...

Born as Jumpman in the early 1980’s, later changing his name to the much less embarrassing Mario Mario, this is one above average plumber. What other plumbers do you know who can hold their breath for an infinite period of time underwater or can break blocks of bricks with their bare fists without any long-term repercussions? I think not. This ...

Our favorite LEGO artist, Nathan Sawaya, has decided to do something a little different this time around. His newest project takes LEGO bricks to the streets of New York City. Meet Hugman, a humanoid LEGO structure built to hug various objects in populated areas. While Hugman rarely spends more than one day in one given spot (we imagine he’d be ...

Rubber is an acquired taste. Sugar, everyone loves. So it makes sense that pencil chewers ditch their pencil erasers for something a bit more appetizing. Lollipop Pencils replace the standard eraser with a flavored lolly candy. If you’re a wood nibbler, I’m still short on solutions. But hopefully the sweet taste of the candy eraser will deter you from chewing ...

The Slave I is typically my second favorite ship in all of the Star Wars canon (my favorite being the Millennium Falcon, naturally). Something about it’s souped-up weapon systems and vertical flight position just really caught my imagination. But does its LEGO counterpart have the same effect? You bet your buns. The 1:152 scaled model of the Slave 1, originally ...

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 ...

Finally, my plans to break ground on the First Church of Optimus Prime can commence! These stained glass Transformer pieces transform (no pun intended, honestly, that would be inexcusable) any room’s fixtures from boring to geektastic. AutobotWonko created these gorgeous stained glass pieces inspired by everyone’s favorite robots in disguise. Ok, since we’re on the topic of 80’s cartoons, what ...

I know what you’re thinking. This is a meat sculpture. A geeky meat sculpture at that. There should definitly be some sort of bacon integrated into the design, or at the very least, Unicorn Meat. But, alas, there is no bacon to be found. Some Trekkies will just never learn. Created using various sausages and even some salami for good ...

Catch a wave, I will. Check out this�creatively�geeky sculpture mashing up the universal symbol for “surf’s up!” with Yoda’s oblong head. This might just be an image I’ll never be able to unsee. Link [via]
