These Babes Were Born to Be Geeks

Some people were born to be wild, but others were just born to be nerds -and there's nothing wrong with either. 

Of course, that being said it's hard not to love these 22 adorable pictures of new-born geeks in their native environments.

From superheroes to Whovians and from readers to gamers, the pictures are all utterly adorable and remind us that being a parent means starting your young one on a path to success.


These Dragon Egg Purses Are A Fashion Fantasy Made Real

Most ladies like to have a purse to carry their things in, but for geek gals, sometimes a simple black bag isn't enough of a fashion statement. For you ladies, may I suggest a dragon's egg purse from Prissy Kitty Designs?

These cool bags come in an array of colors and sizes so whether you're a khaleesi who likes to pack light or one that likes to be prepared, you're certain to find a perfect dragon egg of your choosing. 

There's even a fancy one that looks like it's part dragon and part Faberge for those particularly fancy dragon mothers.

You've Scored A Critical Fashion Hit

What do you get when you combine 3D printing with D20s and turn the whole thing into living, wearable art? You get some of the awesome creations available from Etsy seller Wearable Planter. This clever creator makes 3D printed shapes to create cool fashion accessories that contain real plants.

While not all of them come in dice shapes, they're all striking and sure to get attention wherever you wear them.

Like the idea but don't feel up to wearing a plant? Then accessorize your bike with a small, clip-on vase instead!

Christopher Eccleston Finally Reveals Why He Left Doctor Who

If you couldn't tell just by reading the blog, it's fair to say that most of the writers on Neatorama are big fans of Doctor Who. So, like most Whovians, we've been left to wonder what exactly caused the rift between Christopher Eccleston and the producers of the show given that Eccleston says he loved playing The Doctor and he was quite popular among fans.

Well, if you've been wondering the same thing, you can finally put your mind at ease. According to Christopher Eccleston, his choice to play the Doctor with his natural accent (he's from Manchester) was what drove him and showrunner Russell T. Davies apart. The actor claims Northern accents like his are looked down upon and that people consider those with those accents to sound less intelligent. Eccleston wanted to challenge these views while playing what is arguably the most famous character in all of England, but Davies was against it from the start.

Without hearing Davies' version of the story, it's hard to say if this is absolute truth or just Eccleston's take, but it is notable that the writers made a number of jokes about David Tennant's Doctor having a Northern accent after he replaced Eccleston.

Of course, now there are fans complaining that they can't understand a word that the very Scottish Peter Capaldi says, so I guess there's just no pleasing everyone.


The Mad Bunny King Destroys His Kingdom

(Video Link)

The brave John Farrier previously brought us footage of Wallace the Mad Bunny King, but we had no idea how crazed this king had become. After watching the Game of Thrones premiere, Wallace went into a rage and destroyed the cardboard keep in between nibbles of his carrot throne. As his most trusted advisor explains, "In the end, when Wallace looked around and saw what his insane hunger had wrought, his joy definitely turned to ashes in his mouth."

A Totally Exhaustive Guide to the Food of Seinfeld

Are those pretzels making you thirsty? Will you only eat a marbled rye from Schnitzer's? Do you secretly wonder if horses actually love Beef-A-Reeno? If so, you're probably a Seinfeld fan (and if not, those last three questions probably sound like nonsense).

For those that love the show about nothing, food has a special role in the universe of pointlessness. A mention of muffin tops doesn't bring to mind love handles, but the thought of whole trashbags of muffin stumps.

For a complete rundown of every food reference in the show, this extensive Flavorwire article is a must-read -and it might just make you hungry for a Big Salad.


This Squirrel Is Having the Darndest Time With This Cherry Tomato

I have always been a fan of cherry tomatoes, even as a kid when I couldn't seem to eat one without spraying a trail of seeds all over the place. Apparently, I'm not alone as this little squirrel also seems to have troubles eating the sweet, round fruit despite the imense difficulty he is having.

The Most Dangerous Hiking Trails In The World

(Video Link)

Nature is a beautiful but terrifying place and in most places, the more off the grid you go, the more danger you're likely to encounter. The hiking trails featured on this TopTenz article prove that getting back to nature also means getting back to the danger, whether that means rough terrain, deadly heights, or terrifying bridges.


Say "Hello" To Kaika & Kelekona

We love our reader's pets, which is why when fan Jenn Hyland posted this picture in response to our Facebook post featuring Pug-ster eggs, I was all too excited to share her little babies with everyone.

Here's Kelekona's first Halloween costume.

And here's her cheer-ful second Halloween costume.

You can tell she was a hit by how many candies she got -especially those precious full-sized bars.

Kelekona traded in the cheer uniform for some pig skin for her third Halloween, when she was joined by Kaika, who celebrated her first Halloween in stripe-tastic style.

Nowadays, the duo doesn't just dress up for Halloween. Here they are in some sweet summer duds as part of an apartment wide costume contest.

Thanks to Jenn for letting us share her beautiful little lizards -and for anyone out there who wants to see their favorite pet on the site, feel free to send your photos to jill@neatorama.com!

Which Reese's Peanut Butter Treat Maximizes Your Peanut Butter?

I've always preferred Reese's Eggs over plain Reese's cups. I assumed it was because of the ratio of chocolate to peanut butter, but I've had other people look at me like I was crazy when I said that. But now science is on my side!

This Artist's Food Paintings Make My Mind Melt

As cool as a cucumber? No man, that's just bananas. Japanese artist Hikaro Cho is an amazing artist -to the point where he transforms one food into a completely different food. 

What's that? A funny-looking baby eggplant? I think you better handle it carefully because if not...
