What? You think that great cosplay costumes can only be found at Comic-Con? Well, take a look at the gallery of Dragon*Con cosplayers over at Geeks Are Sexy.
If I had to pick my favorite, it'll be the Steampunk Dalekettes above, because if your toilet got clogged, they've already got the tools to "unplug-erate" your drain!
Gallery from Day 1 | Day 2 - Thanks Yan!
Orata at Feather and Fan made this knit dalek with a zippered compartment in the front, where the dalek can stash a knitted Kaled mutant (or some other other freakish being). The knitting pattern is included in the post. Link -via Rue The Day

What lies at the intersection of sci-fi geekdom and royal wedding fever? The royal wedding dalek! Chris Balcombe is an avid Doctor Who fan with his own dalek, which got a makeover for the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Chris Balcombe, 51, has spent one week decorating his Dalek to tie in with the occasion. The Doctor’s nemesis has been painted red, blue and white and is covered with Union Jack flags and photos of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Furthermore, Chris attached a mechanical grip to the Dalek so it can hold trays of food and drinks.
What’s that you say? You want a Doctor who’s young, playful, charming, yet fierce and unyielding in battle? I do believe we’ve found our twelfth Doctor – and he’s a boxer. Admittedly, he’s a bit cowed by this single Dalek, who is as fearsome and imposing as the loudest of vacuum cleaners, but he is fierce, relentless and strategic.
Seriously, the camera loves this guy. Match him up with a cute companion and let the journeys through time and space commence. Allons-y!

Can’t get up in the morning? Would the threat of extermination by a Dalek motivate you?
Here’s a nifty Dalek Projection Alarm Clock from the NeatoShop, shaped like the Supreme White Dalek that projects digital time and yells out "Exterminate!" to wake you up. No more getting up late for work or school!
Now, using a Dalek for time management? That’s an irony that only a Doctor Who fan can appreciate! Link

Who says a Christmas tree has to be a tree? Doctor Who fan Lindsey J. Testolin made this Christmas dalek for her tree a couple of years ago. You can see the lights flashing in a video if you like. Link -via Nag on the Lake
Nowadays, if you write a movie or TV show production company on how to make your own props, you’d probably hear back from their legal departments.
But back in the early 80s, if you wrote to the BBC requesting plans on how to make your very own Dalek, you’d actually get the blueprints!

Dalek Money Bank – $22.95
Need to keep your money safe? Exterminate your money problems by storing your coins and bills in this Dalek Money Bank from the NeatoShop.
The removable seal underneath the base lets you access your money, because we all know that destorying the Dalek’s bonded polycarbide Dalekanium armor is quite difficult, unless you’ve got your hands on some Nitro-9.

It’s beginning to look a lot like winter in some areas, and run-of-the-mill snowmen are popping up here and there. Bad Astronomer Phil Plait got geekily creative and made a Dalek out of snow! Link -via Geeks Are Sexy

Update 5/8/09 – that was too easy! Here’s the answer: A TaylorMade golf club display stand, these can be found near the indoor practice area in a golf shop. It would not have held a full set, but a selection of different models of the same number club, I saw a display like this in a local shop and it was full of six irons. The clubs were available for customers to hit a few balls with each to compare the performance of the various models.
Congratulations to: Joe #8 who got it right first!

When Marc Oakland volunteered to clear dumped trash from a pond in Beaulieu, Hampshire, England, he didn’t expect to find organisms from the planet Skaro amongst the rubbish:
The 42-year-old said: "I’d just shifted a tree branch with my foot when I noticed something dark and round slowly coming up to the surface. I got the shock of my life when a Dalek head bobbed up right in front of me.
"It must have been down there for some time because it was covered in mould and water weed, and had quite a bit of damage. One of the dome lights was smashed, but the eye-stalk was intact and the head and neck stayed in one piece as I carefully lifted it out."
It’s probably a lost prop from when the BBC shot an episode of Doctor Who back in the 1980s: Link (Photo: Solent)
