| Posted: 15 Jan 2012 04:55 AM PST Nick Bertke, also known as Pogo, loans his signature style of remixing to the ’90s TV sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. The result is both hypnotic and nostalgic. -via The Daily What Previously: Other Pogo remixes.  |
| Woman Pays $50k To Clone Her Dog Posted: 15 Jan 2012 12:04 AM PST The death of a beloved pet can be a traumatizing experience, and most people love their pets as they would any other member of their family. But would you pay $50,000 to clone a new version of your beloved pet from the DNA of the deceased? The lady in this clip didn’t hesitate to head over to South Korea, shell out the cash and clone her deceased dog Trouble, and she seems to have no regrets about her decision. It seems like a huge waste of money to me, considering that the cloned pet probably isn’t going to have anything in common with it’s genetic original beyond physical appearance, but what do you guys think? If you had $50k to spare, and you’re grieving the passing of a pet, would you choose to have them cloned? –via Videogum |
| What Pokeballs Would Look Like In Real Life Posted: 14 Jan 2012 11:43 PM PST Who knew that pokeballs, the devices used by the characters in the anime series Pokemon to capture their little critter pals, would be so beautiful in real life? Created via photo manipulation by DeviantARTist wazzy88, their elemental contents look so real, like they could burst out at any moment in a surge of bling. No wonder Pokemon don’t mind being trapped inside those things for hours on end! Link –via Rampaged Reality |
| Paperboy Vs. Contra, or A Bad Day On Easy Street Posted: 14 Jan 2012 11:28 PM PST When the grizzled war veterans from the video game franchise Contra take over fellow video game star Paperboy‘s route, due to an unforeseen decapitation, there’s going to be a lot more than broken windows and ruined birdbaths on Easy Street. This time around the guys from Contra don’t even need an unlimited lives cheat code to tear up the competition! –via Topless Robot |
| These Doggies Are Ready For The Star Wars Marathon Posted: 14 Jan 2012 11:11 PM PST To be fair, Ewoks already look a lot like cute little puppies and Darth doesn’t look quite right without his helmet. That being said, Princess Leia looks spot on. |
| The Unseen Actors Inside Iconic Character Costumes Posted: 14 Jan 2012 11:09 PM PST Have you ever wondered who’s inside the costume of your favorite character? From Big Bird to ALF to that dancing purple annoyance Barney, the identities of the actors inside have remained largely unknown, until you check out the gallery at Flavorwire and see for yourself who’s been acting in those costumes all these years. I’m sure most readers won’t find Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) all that surprising, but did you know that 2 different people donned the Ludo character costume in the movie Labyrinth, or that the guy who donned the Alien costume in the movie franchise was over seven feet tall? Read on, inquisitive Neatoramanaut! |
| 3D Printed TARDIS Cookies Look Tasty & Fun Posted: 14 Jan 2012 11:07 PM PST These delightful cookies are even geekier than you might think…they were created using a 3D printer to create the cookie cutter. Now all they need is some nice blue frosting. Link Via BoingBoing |
| Watch The AT-AT Dog Eat Dinner Posted: 14 Jan 2012 10:51 PM PST
You’ve already seen a picture of the AT-AT dog, but this shot of the little one munching on dinner is simply to precious to ignore. |
| Posted: 14 Jan 2012 10:42 PM PST Sometimes you just want to cuddle with Skeletor, Slimer or Admiral Akbar, of course, the problem is that the companies who officially license the merchandise for these characters don’t really believe there’s enough of a market for plush versions. That’s why those seeking such frivolities will need to head over over to the HandmadeStuffs shop over at Etsy. Have fun. |
| No, Steven Hawking Does Not Know How To Time Travel Posted: 14 Jan 2012 10:34 PM PST Or at least, if he does know how to travel through time, he certainly is keeping tight lipped about it. He does have a good point though. Link Via Geeks Are Sexy |
| Golden Girl Valentine’s Day Cards Posted: 14 Jan 2012 10:28 PM PST |
| Have You Ever Wondered What Skyrim Would Be Like In Modern Times? Posted: 14 Jan 2012 10:23 PM PST If you’ve played the game at all, then you certainly relate to this great parody, particularly the NPC dialogue. Via Geeks Are Sexy |
| Posted: 14 Jan 2012 10:19 PM PST If you love race cars, then you might just like these fantastic Prada pumps based on the some of the most popular cars of the 50′s and 60′s. It’s a great blend between classic and modern styles. Link Via Laughing Squid |
| The Adult Swim Art Gallery Showing Posted: 14 Jan 2012 10:12 PM PST If you’re a fan of Tim & Eric, Aqua Team Hunger Force, The Venture Bros, or any of the other wonderful shows on Adult Swim and happen to be in the LA area before February 4, then be sure to stop by and enjoy the Gallery1988 x Adult Swim show. A variety of artists have come together to share their love for the late-night programing block and their resulting creations are simply delightful. Link Via Laughing Squid |
| Man in Gorilla Suit Watches House Fire Posted: 14 Jan 2012 07:30 PM PST
Linkins refers to this image and its caption by reporter Jason Shreiber as a great moment in photojournalism. I couldn’t agree more. Link -via The Agitator |
| LEGO 19-Foot Scale Model of a Saturn V Rocket Posted: 14 Jan 2012 07:14 PM PST Even when it’s scaled down to minifig level, a Saturn V rocket is huge! LEGO artist Ryan McNaught built this one out of 120,000 bricks. It includes important details, such as liquid oxygen tanks and a panicking astronaut at ground level.

| Posted: 14 Jan 2012 06:12 PM PST I Love Ninjas Beanie | $29.95 Let the world knew you love ninjas with this rockin’ Ninja Beanie from the NeatoShop! It keeps your head warm and serves as an excellent icebreaker at the same time. These 100% handmade hats are made from 100% wool on the outside with 100% polyester lining, then there’s the yarn and felt decorations that tell everyone how you love ninjas! Get yours while they last, and while you’re at the NeatoShop, check out more headgear you’ll also love. |
| Strange Portraits Of Couples Sealed In Plastic Posted: 14 Jan 2012 04:04 PM PST These couples have been sealed in plastic to preserve freshness, to illustrate that sometimes love can be an uncomfortable feeling, and to show how smothering each other can make it really hard to breathe. From the twisted imagination of Japanese artist Photographer Hal (yes, photographer is part of his name) comes this wacked out portrait series called Flesh Love, which are part S&M, part avant garde, and all totally mind-blowing, as you struggle to make out where one person ends and another begins. How’d ya like to find one of these in your school lunchbag, kiddos? Link –via DesignTAXI |
| Funky Stools Which Are Organically ‘Grown’ With Magnets Posted: 14 Jan 2012 03:46 PM PST These awesome looking stools were made by suspending giant magnets above a mixture of iron ore and molten plastic, in order to allow the hybrid substance to naturally “grow” into organic shapes and textures. Created by Dutch designer Jolan van der Wiel, they look like just the thing to spruce up your cave when you’re expecting company, or the best birthday present ever for the mineralogist in your life. |
| Incredible Works Of Art Made Out Of Junk Posted: 14 Jan 2012 03:23 PM PST This time-lapse GIF shows a portrait piece being created by artist Tom Deininger, who specializes in making amazing sculptural works of art out of found junk and garbage. The use of found objects gives each piece a unique color scheme, and the elements that make up each piece are recognizable, as if the pieces may be lurking around in your trash bin somewhere, waiting to be released. His use of objects as texture also brings the subjects to life with their own power and personality, and they’re all eco-friendly to boot! Tom has been featured on Neatorama before (link), and in the time since he has created a ton of new artworks, which are now featured on his website. Take a look, and see if you find Tom’s trashy artworks a-peeling. *wink* Link –via Beautiful Decay |
| Posted: 14 Jan 2012 03:11 PM PST Christopher Lloyd was a great Doc Brown, but I can’t see him as the Doctor. At least deviantART user Ratgirlstudios’s re-imagining of a Back to the Future Part II poster prompts us to consider the possibility. Link -via The Mary Sue |
| Geek Warrior Seeks Revenge, Finds Epic Failure Posted: 14 Jan 2012 02:03 PM PST What you see before you is a man who fancied himself a warrior, but turned out to be nothing but a loser seeking revenge for something that happened to him when he was seven years old. Here’s the scoop: This is the astonishing moment a crazed attacker stormed into a supermarket armed with an arsenal of knives including a hockey stick with a blade on the end as oblivious punters carried on their shopping. Millington then chased security guard Andrew Osbourne, who he lived close to as a youngster and reportedly has a 30-year grudge against, through the store before being tackled to the ground by brave manager Michael Walsh. Nothing about fifty years of therapy won’t cure, am I right? |

| Posted: 14 Jan 2012 01:15 PM PST Dan had $125 in small bills. He said little brother Jack could keep whatever he caught when Dan threw it in the air. Jack caught $57! He was so happy, his “victory dance” was also uploaded to YouTube. Dan says he should have thought this through a little more. -via reddit |
| The Secrets to Winning 5 Popular State Fair Games Posted: 14 Jan 2012 10:20 AM PST You’d think that since the prizes are usually cheaper than the price you pay to play, that carnival games would be easy to win. Not at all. But if you have the right strategy, and some tips from those who have been there, you can raise your chances of winning. The Art of Manliness has tips on winning at Rope Ladder, High Striker, Shoot the Star, Flukey Ball, and Milk Can. Link -via Boing Boing |
| Animated Version of Edvard Munch’s The Scream Posted: 14 Jan 2012 08:19 AM PST (Video Link) Norwegian artist Edvard Munch explained his iconic painting by writing:
What is this infinite scream, and who is expressing it? Sebastian Cosor offered this animated version of Munch’s scene in an attempt to answer those questions. -via Kuriositas |
| Posted: 14 Jan 2012 08:02 AM PST Milo, a sea otter at the Vancouver Aquarium, died from complications of cancer on Wednesday after an extraordinary life -for an otter. Milo, along with a female otter who was rescued from Alaskan waters after the Exxon Valdeez oil spill, Nyac, appeared in a YouTube video called Otters Holding Hands in 2007. That video received 16 million views and made Milo a star. Nyac passed away in 2008. Milo was diagnosed with lymphoma last summer. He responded well to chemotherapy at first, but ultimately succumbed to the disease. Aquarium staff announced Thursday that Milo had been euthanized.
Milo was twelve years old. Link -via Arbroath |

Thanks for a great discussion thread! The second most-commented-on post was The Great Mistake Lurking in "Don't Stop Believin,'' which brought a geography lesson with it. You learn something new everyday! Here are this week’s feature articles, in case there’s one you missed: Jill Harness showed us 17 Great Geeky Hats For National Hat Day, which is tomorrow, so you still have time to make your plans accordingly. Eddie Deezen wrote Why Do Nerds So Often Wear Glasses? which could have been titled The History of Nerds in Pop Culture. Mental_floss magazine brought us 10 Coins That Aren't Boring. A Thousand Cranes, the story of Sadako Sasaki, came to us from Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader. And from the Annals of Improbable Research, we learned about Popcorn-Bag-Induced Disorientation in a Gull. At NeatoBambino, it was adorable crocheted superhero costume week, featuring Batman, Robin, and Wolverine. Plus cute kids on video, a bald Barbie, and other neat stuff.
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day makes this a long holiday weekend for some people, so after you catch up on these posts, you may want to browse through The Best of Neatorama, where we have feature articles going back six years! You’ll also find more content, discussions, and treats on our social network pages at Facebook, G+, and Twitter. |
What is going on in this photo that briefly appeared on the website of The New Hampshire Union-Leader? Thanks to a screenshot grabbed by Jason Linkins of The Huffington Post, we know that the caption read:
