Well, you don’t have to travel back into time just to influence Shakespeare to use your name, just go to U Star Novels, fork over $24.95 and you can get your name switched out for Juliet’s, or for Tom Sawyer, or Frankenstein, or any other public domain novel you happen to enjoy.

20 Insane Foreign Posters For Hollywood Movies

Posted by Jill Harness in Art, Art & Design, Entertainment, Film on April 25, 2012 at 12:12 am

As much as I loved Big, I must not have watched it very well because I can’t, for the life of me, remember a scene where Tom Hanks’ head explodes into a big mess of primary colors. But if this Russian poster for the film says anything about the movie, that’s precisely it. Check out 19 other weird foreign posters for American films over at Cracked.

It takes a special kind of cat to enjoy snow, let alone frolic in banks so deep that only their tails can be seen, but these two kitty friends have finally found their element.

The Dogs of Walmart

Posted by Jill Harness in Animals & Pets, Living on April 20, 2012 at 9:47 pm

People of Walmart is soooo 2008. These days, it’s all about the dogs of the people of Walmart -now that’s a new whole new level of Walmart craziness. While there isn’t a whole website dedicated to this subset of insanity, Pets Lady has filtered through all the animal category of the site to find the best dog pictures ever taken at Walmart. And they are hilarious.

The Prehistoric Avengers

Just because dinos had pea-sized brains doesn’t mean they didn’t know the difference between right and wrong. That’s why the dinosaur Avengers were so critical to keeping the streets safe, at least, metaphorically speaking.

The Best Tattoo Cover Up Ever

Posted by Jill Harness in Art, Art & Design, Entertainment, Film on April 14, 2012 at 6:34 am

A reader of Geekologie sent in this great story of how a terrible Edward tattoo obtained during a bet eventually became an awesome Rufio tattoo in what is arguably the greatest tattoo portrait cover up ever.

“OK, so this guy I used to know recently made a deal with his friend that they would choose each other’s tattoos and they would each get theirs while being blindfolded. He took his blindfold off to see this — Edward, from Twilight! Yikes! So later he had it covered up with RUFIOOOO!”

OH HELL YES. I asked my little lady to turn the pictures into an animated gif, but the angles make it look like there’s a colored part in Edward that doesn’t appear in Rufio. Like I said, that’s just the angle.

I know many of you don’t like tattoos to start with, but you have to admit, if you’re going to get a tattoo on a bet, this cover up is probably one of the best outcomes you could hope for.

Would You Watch The I Can Has Cheezburger Show

No, it’s not about LOL cats per se. Instead it’s about Ben Huh, the genius behind I Can Has Cheezburger, FAIL Blog, Know Your Meme and all those other memetastic sites. The show will be on Bravo and is tentatively called Huh? The show will focus on Huh and his life at work and some of his relationship drama (the two are pretty closely related, given as how his wife is the head editor over at I Can Has Cheezburger.

These Ducks Want It Their Way

Most ducks are content to eat stale bread thrown to them by old men at parks, but these five are particularly snobbish. They only want freshly baked, toasted wheat bread with a pinch of salt and a sprinkle of olive oil. You go blue blood ducks!

Keep Your Kittens Locked Up This Sunday

Posted by Jill Harness in Animals & Pets, Holiday, Living on April 7, 2012 at 12:51 am

Have you ever wondered why your kitty is so crazy? It might be the nature of cats, or it could just be because the Easter Bunny messed with him one too many times. That’s why you really ought to keep your little furball locked up this Easter. After all, even if he doesn’t take out the bunny like Mittens did, the Easter Bunny could just as easily torment your kitten even more, making him even more insane.

14 Wonderfully Geeky Easter Eggs

Posted by Jill Harness in Crafts, Features, Food & Drink, Holiday, Neatorama Exclusives on April 4, 2012 at 5:18 am

I don’t know about you guys, but the extent of my Easter egg decorating ends with being able to use two different dyes on an egg and then slapping on a few stickers. I once tried to paint one with real paint at a party where everyone was doing the same and mine was probably the worst, looking like a six year-old’s rendition of a dying Tony the Tiger. Fortunately, not everyone is as lacking in artistry as I am. In fact, some people have turned the process of coloring Easter eggs into a true art form. And where there’s art, there’s geekery. Here are a few of the most awesomely geeky Easter eggs ever created.

If I could give out an award for best over all geek Easter egg creator, it would have to go to Flickr user Rakka. For starters, there’s this fun little Bender design. Just tell me you don’t want to bite his shinny metal yolk.

Ever thought your eggs needed to be upgraded? Well, the Cybermen are here ready to go to work on your Easter treats. Soon they will all be compatible.

The only problem with these adorable LEGO eggs is that unlike the real thing, they don’t interlock with one another. Even so, they’d be perfect for any youngster who prefers LEGOland over Disneyland.

With Jake the dog and Finn the human, the (Easter Egg hunting) fun will never end. Rakka also included everyone’s favorite spoiled royal heir, Lumpy Space Princess.

10 Awesome Office Pranks For Late April Fool’s Day

Posted by Jill Harness in Features, Holiday, Neatorama Exclusives, Society & Culture, Video Clips on April 2, 2012 at 5:11 am

I know April Fool’s Day was yesterday, but since most people don’t go to work on Sundays, today is certainly the best day to pull off any office pranks you’ve had planned. Admittedly, most good office pranks take a bit of time and preparation to pull off, so it might be too late to do something super outrageous if you haven’t already planned it, even so, these might at least give you some inspiration for April 1, 2013.

LEGO Car

(Video Link)

At LEGOLAND, employees quickly learn that anything can be remade with legos…including the vehicles of their co-workers. So naturally, the team stole another employee’s car, moved it and forklifted in a LEGO version of the same vehicle. The doppelganger car weighed 2,934 pounds and took 201,076 LEGOs to build. Of course, being a LEGO-lover himself, the victim couldn’t help but be impressed.

Office Bathroom

(Video Link)

No, these clever pranksters didn’t do anything to the office bathroom –that kind of potty humor is too immature for a workplace environment. Instead, they turned their co-worker’s office into a bathroom. This one takes a lot of time, money and effort, so make sure you’re ready to commit to the project before diving in….also, make sure the victim isn’t dumb enough to actually try using the toilet after you put it in her office. I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve had a lot of bosses I wouldn’t trust not to use it.

Turn A Keyboard Into A Planter

Who doesn’t love having some live plants growing at their desk? Oh yeah, someone who has a keyboard full of cress. To try this prank out for yourself, simply remove the keys of a keyboard and place down some cotton. Sprinkle in some cress or grass seeds and water, and then replace the keys. Spray lightly with water a few times a day and in a few weeks you’ll have a healthy baby garden ready to confuse your victim. Just switch out his keyboard when he’s not looking, and you’re done!

Booby Traps!

It might not be the safest or most grown-up prank out there, but let’s face it, turning your co-worker’s desk into a booby trapped mess is certainly one of the most fun pranks out there. If you want to build your own, Instructables user PocketSized has all the guidance you need to create a tripwire-activated booby trap. Of course, you have to be careful as you don’t want to shoot anyone’s eye out with a poorly aimed push pin.

Hello Kitty Wants To Predict Your Future

Posted by Jill Harness in Art, Art & Design, Comics & Cartoons on April 2, 2012 at 3:42 am

Because nothing says “super natural”  and “occult” like Hello Kitty. From what I hear they’re fairly accurate, but only after you spill the blood of a virgin unicorn on them first, otherwise the cards are just nonsense.

Oh Hello Kitty, is there anything that you won’t put your name on?

But Did She Blind Him With Science?

Posted by Jill Harness in Fashion, Living, Science & Tech on March 31, 2012 at 8:19 pm

It can’t be said that they lack chemistry, that’s for sure.

While we’ve featured plenty of geeky weddings, I think this might be the first one based on science. And the theme penetrated every aspect of the wedding:

“They fell in love with the idea of the scientific geek wedding theme because of the incorporation of a lot of glass elements such as beakers, petri dishes, test tubes, eye droppers, which would all have very good light-catching elements,” writes Wedding Chicks. “All of these scientific elements were sourced from laboratory supply houses so that they would be 100% authentic.” When the guests arrived they were able to sign in at the Periodic Table of Elements!

What do you guys think? Geek chic or geek reek?

You know what the Hunger Games needs? More explosions, or maybe more romance-based comedic scenes. Whatever your favorite Genre, EW probably has a poster translating the young adult novel into a film you’re certain to enjoy. As a non-Michael Bay fan, I love their take on his take of the movie.

Watch Princess Diana Meet Ludo From The Labyrinth

Posted by Jill Harness in Entertainment, Film, Video Clips on March 31, 2012 at 3:28 am

(Video Link)

December 1, 1986 was a big day for Princess Diana and Prince Charles. It was the day they met a real-life monster at the Labyrinth Royal Premiere. While film goers soon learned just how sweet Ludo was, keep in mind, this meet up occurred before the royals saw the film -for all they knew, he was a fan of ripping people’s arms off and munching on roasted fingernails like John used to do before we weaned him onto Corn Nuts. Of course, if you look at the expression on Di’s face, it looks like that’s what she assumed.

Saddle Up Graffiti Cowboy

Posted by Jill Harness in Art, Art & Design, Home & Garden, Living on March 31, 2012 at 2:20 am

There’s nothing trashy about the great geeky trash cans over at Mental Floss. I really like this 3D graffiti trash can, but I have to wonder about how it will look when it was pulled away from the wall. It’s possible that it has a 2D horse behind the trash can, but that’s just not that cool.

Have any of you seen the moving trash cans at Disney’s California Adventure? Those definitely need to be added to this list.
