We've shown plenty of geek engagement and wedding rings before, but there are still plenty more to enjoy and When Geeks Wed has a great collection of 20 of them -including this delightful Spider-Man ring complete with spider logos on the inside.

Looking for a perfect drink to celebrate the Forth? Well, nothing says "'Merica" more than red, white and blue with some explosive surprises. In this case, the shot is just Maui Blue Hawaiian Schnapps mixed with half and half, but if you're good at layering, it would be easy to make a totally red white and blue shot and the Pop Rocks sensation is sure to give you a great sensory experience after you imbibe.
Is your cat too happy and unencumbered? Then perhaps he needs the weight of the world (and the rest of the solar system) on his shoulders. This moment in terrible cat shaming brought to you by Etsy seller NotsoKittyShop.
Bow ties are cool now, your baby should wear a bow tie...at least during those fancy meal times where you need him to look his best. You can get your little one a bow tied bib from Etsy seller LovelyHomeIdea.
Or, at least, the internet from The IT Crowd, complete with an on and off switch. And for the love of God, no one had better touch the off switch, otherwise the world will fall into chaos!
Amazingly, the internet can be yours at the low, low cost of $28.33 plus shipping thanks to Etsy seller KineticGifts. How someone on Etsy managed to get a hold of the internet and why they decided to sell it is beyond me though...

These shoes, by artist Finn Stone, are not only sexy, but they're also easy to store -just lock them onto your LEGOs. Well, maybe that part's not true, but at least they let you look chic while staying true to your inner child.

A few days ago, the San Diego Safari Park's youngest gorilla celebrated his second birthday. Needless to say, that meant Monroe got a fantastic birthday cake to mark the occassion and like any two year old, he was happy about that.
Pssshhh...putting cheese on top of a chicken cutlet for chicken parmigiana -that's so boring and old-school. Why put the cheese on top when you could, instead make chicken Parmigiana meatballs with exploding cheese cavities in the middle? Now they just have to be skewered so we can have chicken parmigiana on a stick!
Adding Mentos to cola can be a fizzy mess, but it can also make for an incredibly cool-looking and tasty drink for kids. Handmade Charlotte has three drink recipes that incorporate scientific principles while still making sweet, sugary drinks the youngsters will absolutely love.
After reading it, even I want some cotton candy made out of a Jolly Rancher.
When you first go scuba diving, the mere experience of breathing underwater is exciting enough. After that, you get the chance to really fall in love with the scenery, but after that, you've gotta start making up games to entertain yourself. That's when scuba bowling comes in, and man does it look awesome.

Just because you love a particular meal doesn't mean you want to enjoy that meal as a cocktail, but maybe I'm alone here. After all, bartender Phoebe Esmon has created a pho cocktail (for those who aren't familiar, pho is a Vietnamese noodle soup). So what goes into a pho cocktail?
To a base of gin or vodka, Esmon adds lime juice and a light homemade syrup infused with all the essential flavors that build a pho broth: star anise, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, pecan, charred ginger and onions. She then shakes in mint, Thai basil, and cilantro (producing a "lovely shade of pond water," she jokes) and garnishes with her own pickled bean sprouts and an optional float of sriracha.
Thanks, but I'll stick to my chopsicks and soup spoon to enjoy my pho and maybe I'll sip a cocktail on the side.
As The Next Web has discovered, when you type in the Bing search box "The xbox one is," you get one autofill answer -that it is amazing. Type in the same phrase on Google and here are your results:
Oddly, when you leave out the word "the" in the search results, the Google results stay mostly the same, but the Bing results start looking more like Google's. Is the word "the" really that importand when it comes to whether the Xbox one is awesome or terrible, or is Bing just programed to try to help out other Microsoft products?
So this little fox may not have been smart enough to keep its head out of the jar, but at least he knew that these humans might just be kind enough to help him out of his predicament. While I'd like to think he'd learn his lesson about trying to lick the good stuff out of the bottom of jars, John still gets his head caught in our giant plastic jar of cheese puffs all the time, so I can't say I expect more from the fox.

If a dalek once thought it was a soufle-baking girl, then it's totally possible that one might one day believe it is The Doctor. When that day comes, Megan Murphy knows exactly how the impersonator will dress -no matter which incarnation the dalek decides to impersonate.

What's more summery than watermelon? Watermelon Oreos, of course! Unlike some of the other odd Oreo flavors, Dinosaur Dracula says these ones are actually pretty good, though they taste more like watermelon Bubblicious than the actual fruit. Some people would say that's even better though.
