I don’t know if the last bit of that heading is true. What is true is that somebody put together a pretty awesome replica of the Iron Man suit Tony Stark built in his desert captivity.
According to this little write up of the process – he took 100 days to pull off this amazing feat. And he started with just pliers and a stanley knife. And of course, some inspiration…

The following pictures are amazing, delicious, and made entirely out of jelly.
If you want your kitchen to look like a stationery shop. And I mean. Who wouldn’t. Then you could start that ball rolling with this tea towel. I don’t know how you’d finish that ball rolling. But that’s not for me to decide. I’m not here to tell you how to run your life. Or decorate your kitchen.
The site is in German. And can I just say, for the record, that I think Google is doing its best to undo the work God did with the Tower of Babel. That’s actually the opening of a book I once started writing. That one day, if I give up writing on my blog, I might finish. But I doubt it.
Did you know I’ve nearly hit 5,000 posts here. If each post is longer than 150 words, on average, I’ve written more than a novel. That’s amazing. What’s also amazing is that this has nothing to do with note paper teatowels, except that if you printed the pages of my blog on note paper tea towels you’d have to use a lot of tea towels.
Brilliant. For a bit of pirate chatter/an explanation/product details check out the post on the woot.com blog.

This Zombie Doll from Neatorama spawned that brilliant idea in the title. Zombie bread rolls would sell in the tens. If not the hundreds. As would zombie “my family” stickers. I’d like to make “My Dysfunctional Family” stickers.
The Dismember-Me Plush Zombie is a real thing though. Unlike those two ideas.
This is amazing. Mind blowing. I’ll never watch Arrested Development in quite the same way again…
Take, for example, a comparison between the two lead characters…
Michael Corleone
In The Godfather, Michael Corleone wants to leave his family business behind and find a normal life on his own terms. However, he is forced into the family business when an attempt has been made on his father’s life, as he is the only one qualified amongst his brothers and sister to continue the family business. Michael is practically the only one who looks after his father, helping to evade further attempts on Don Vito’s life while he is incapacitated in the hospital. He has a spouse that dies during his stay in Italy, and is unable to sustain a functional relationship with his girlfriend/wife Kay because of his devotion to family affairs.
Michael Bluth
In the pilot episode of Arrested Development, Michael Bluth wants to leave his family business behind and find a normal life on his own terms. However, he is forced back into the family business when his father is taken to jail, as he is the only one qualified amongst his brothers and sister to continue the family business. Michael is practically the only one who looks after his father, visiting George Sr. frequently in jail. He has a spouse that died at some point in his past, and is unable to sustain functional relationships with various women because of his devotion to family affairs.
The similarities don’t end there. My mind blown.
Not from the people who bought you the awesome chicken cutting robot (if you want a really disturbing food robot google pig decapitator) comes this invention that peels a banana.
Want to make a political statement on the streets in the form of a pie chart? I know I do. Want to do it in regulated (and regulation) stencil style? Just download this handy PDF, grab some spray paint, and hit the streets.*

I want one. Or perhaps two. This, paired with a snuggy, is pretty much heaven on earth.
“OSTRICH offers a micro environment in which to take a warm and comfortable power nap at ease. It is neither a pillow nor a cushion, nor a bed, nor a garment, but a bit of each at the same time. Its soothing cave-like interior shelters and isolates our head and hands (mind, senses and body) for a few minutes, without needing to leave our desk.”

Ahh. Lego. If there’s one thing I’m looking forward to when it comes to parenting. It’s playing with lego.
I’m sure somebody mathematically minded could figure out some sort of equation for the number of possible combinations for these 58 pieces of Lego.
This guy made 50 thingos.

Over at Vanishing Point Ben has been pondering the point of Twitter. Well, here it is. Ben shared this link on Twitter, and now I’m posting it… Mr T raps…
If there’s one thing I like about this particular tumblr, fastest possible, it’s that it shows its possible to build an audience for one’s art without actually being good at it. I’m horrible at drawing. Pictionary only works for me if I figure out subtle ways of cheating. One time I was playing pictionary online with some friends. We were all sitting in the same room, on different computers, playing against people from the other side of the world. And we’d just draw a bunch of random stuff and guess right, that memory still makes me laugh. Anyway. Fastest possible… the aim is to recognisably represent a thing in the fastest way possible. Perfectly fusing minimalism and pictionary. Some samples…
The Little Mermaid is like Transformers for girls. Right? She wanted to transform into a human. That’s the only way I can explain the motivation behind this mashup.

In the same stream as Dads are the original hipsters comes Accidental Chinese Hipsters – a celebration of the monkeys and typewriters principle of fashion – namely, that when billions of people have a finite number of clothing choices eventually some will incidentally, or accidentally, become hipsters.
My friend Mika tipped me off on this one.
