| Huge Pinball Game on the Front of a Building Posted: 17 Dec 2011 08:00 PM PST (Video Link) There’s nothing old fashioned about this pinball game! CT Light Concept projected a pinball game called “Urban Flipper” on the front of the Théâtre des Célestins in Lyon, France. The bumpers, kickers, and targets make use of the features on the theater’s facade.  |
| Microscopic Views of Alcoholic Drinks Posted: 17 Dec 2011 04:55 PM PST This is what champagne looks like through a microscope. About twenty-five years ago, Michael Davidson, a scientist at Florida State University, started putting alcoholic beverages under his microscope and taking beautiful pictures of what he saw. The results are lovely, especially after a few shots. Link -via Nag on the Lake |
| Would You Try Clam Chowder Doritos? Posted: 17 Dec 2011 03:23 PM PST Personally, I love clam chowder and I like to try new things, so although I don’t have much faith in the flavor of Clam Chowder Doritos, I would still give them a shot. Surprisingly though, they actually are described as being pretty tasty and actually tasting like clam chowder. So, I ask again, would you try them? |
| Adorable Posters For Famous Films Posted: 17 Dec 2011 03:03 PM PST Illustrator Olaf Cuadras Ferré has some skills when it comes to redesigning movie posters. While they all look pretty cute, I think this one is my personal favorite, if only for the hole in the head on the last person. Link Via Laughing Squid |

| Posted: 17 Dec 2011 02:46 PM PST This guy is just waiting to EXTERMINATE any scrooges out there who haven’t gotten into the holiday spirit yet. If I actually lived somewhere with snow, I’d be out there making one of these right now. Link Via The Mary Sue |
| Time Lapse Video Of Life Size Gundam Statue Being Built Posted: 17 Dec 2011 02:09 PM PST The main problem with moving a giant Gundam robot statue across Japan is having to put it back together again, but maybe this life-size behemoth should have been left in pieces, because he looks like he could do some serious damage to the surrounding city. Head to the link to see some time lapse videos of this bad boy being re-built. |
| What Kids Wanted For Christmas In The 90s Posted: 17 Dec 2011 02:08 PM PST Remember when we all thought Beanie Babies would be worth a fortune someday, or when Pogs ruled the schoolyard? Then check out this gallery of Christmas list toppers from the 90s, some of which are still around while others have fallen by the wayside, and see if you still have some of these treasures lying around in a box somewhere. Ebay here we come! |
| A Penguin Fetching The Newspaper Posted: 17 Dec 2011 02:05 PM PST I know some of you are going to say “this video is old”, because we all know that interwebs enthusiasts think anything posted a week ago is old, much less something from 2008. But really guys, does it ever get old watching a penguin start the pet revolution against dogs? The only thing that would make this video better is if a dog were to come in and jealously compete for most newspapers fetched in one day. Let the competition for best pet begin! –via BuzzFeed |
| Posted: 17 Dec 2011 02:04 PM PST Boy, The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man sure is cute when he’s not stomping around terrorizing a city with his sugary goodness! For those of you with snow, you’re lucky because you can make your own geeky snowman, unlike we Southern Californians whose only knowledge of snow comes from the movies and tv shows. We’ll just have to settle for sculpting our mashed potatoes into something cool… |
| New Trailer For The Dictator Is Timely Fun Posted: 17 Dec 2011 02:02 PM PST Leave it to Sasha Baron Cohen, the guy behind Borat and Ali G, to make light of an uncomfortable situation with broad humor which will allow those being lampooned to laugh at themselves, although ruthless dictators are some of the toughest nuts to crack. Watch this trailer for The Dictator and bask in the glory of global unrest-themed ridiculousness. –via Ology |
| Posted: 17 Dec 2011 12:00 PM PST deviantART user amanda04 did a fine job recreating Charles Schulz’s characters on her own fingernails. Lucy doesn’t look happy. In amanda04’s gallery, you can find other fingernail images from Peanuts. |
| Posted: 17 Dec 2011 08:57 AM PST There’ll be no shortage of players at your next tabletop role-playing game campaign! New rule: if you roll the highest value, you get to eat the die. Ariel Segall built a custom mold to bake chocolate dice. At the link, you can find her step-by-step instructions for the project. Link -via Geek Dad | Photo: Ariel Segall |

Here’s one that creates an illusion. The uninformed viewer thinks that he’s looking through a rock! Check out eight other clever or silly uses for periscopes at the link.

We don’t tend to think of Santa as being much of a risk taker, but really, it’s pretty brave to trust flying reindeer to tow you through the sky before you jump down a chimney. So really this Huffington Post slide show featuring Santa bungee jumping, swimming with sharks and doing other outrageous activities really shouldn’t be that shocking.
