Courtney Timmermans' Hunting Trophies

Most animal trophies are made from taxidermied animals killed during a hunt, but artist Courtney Timmermans make hers out of BB gun bullets. The ball bearing creations form her Urban Herd exhibition, which seems a particularly apt name for animals made totally out of metal.

Love That Can Travel The Kessel Run In 12 Parsecs

It's hard to make a geeky wedding cake that still has the lovely aesthetic of a classic white wedding cake, but Over The Top Cakes managed to do so in quite an elegant way with this Star Wars cake.

Game of Scones

A Lannister always pays his coffee tab, House Grayjoy does not sip and House Tyrell is brewing strong, but only the Starks know that pastries are coming.

If Sterling, Draper, Cooper, Price Was Operated By Cats

The good thing about this Mad Men parody is that unlike Don Draper, Cat Draper will always land on his feet.

Because Mr. Rogers Should Always Have A Sweater

Make recently put up a touching tribute to the creativity of Mr. Rogers, but while the article was great, it was the picture of a yarn bombed statue of the celebrity that really caught my eye. The sweater was given to the statue by artist Alicia Kachmar back in 2011 and it might just be the most fitting tribute of them all.

Honey, Honey...Oh Jabba Jabba

You are my cakey guy and you got me wanting you...for dessert at least. This confectionary creation was crafted by the masters over at Toxic Sweet Shop.

Ace and Karla's Delightfully Geek Engagement Photos

Ace and Karla knew they wanted to do a geeky set of photos to celebrate their engagement, but they couldn't decide between Scott Pilgrim, The Matrix, Harry Potter or Alice In Wonderland. Finally, they stopped trying to pick one and just did them all with the help of photographer Jervy Santiago, who previously shot this Archie Comics engagement photo

The end result was a set of engagement photos that would make any geek couple jealous.

Even A Lannister Can't Stop An Assassin

You know why Tyrion Lannister is still alive in Game of Thrones? Because Joffery never thought to hire Ezio of Assassin's Creed to do the job right.

Redditor AndyValentine was lucky enough to get this fantastic picture with Peter Dinklage at a recent convention and, boy, am I glad he did because it's too fantastic.

This Isn't A Couch Gag

We've featured quite a bit of extreme dog grooming, but it's hard not to when it's an artwork that combines some of our favorite TV shows and movies with adorable animals. This wonderful Simpsons creation was created by Catherine Opson and in case you're wondering, Homer is on the pup's other rear leg.

The Comic Con Stalker App

If you can't make it to Comic Con this year, or just don't want to be around hundreds of sweaty, stinky nerds for a whole weekend straight, then live out the action without any of the smells thanks to the new Comic Con Star Stalker game for iPhone and iPad.

Teeny Tiny Bloomin' Onions

Love those addictive Bloomin' Onions from Outback Steakhouse but feel like a fatty eating a whole one by yourself? Then try making this little baby ones with pearl onions...just try not to eat 40 of them all at once.

Talk About A Party Animal!

Not only does this pup know how to keep cool, he also knows that it's critical to protect his master's prized possessions from intruders. Only those who are worthy can take a brewski.

The Periodic Table of Wedding Table Seatings

Personally, I'm a big fan of open seating at a wedding, but for those who want go with assigned seating, the Periodic Table of Tables is certainly a clever way to tell your guests where they should find their seat. Image by Vis Photography.

Jay-Z's Got 99 Problems

If you know anything about Jay-Z, then you know he's got 99 problems, but a female certainly isn't one. As for what those problems are, a new Tumblr, probs99, is seeking to illustrate all of them so we can better relate with Beyonce's man.

The brilliant illustrations are created by Ali Graham.

Harry Potter Heels Are Great for Booking It!

They might not be custom painted like a lot of the cool geek shoes we have featured here, but for fans who always claim the book version of Harry Potter is way better than the movie version, they're almost certainly the best option. I just wonder if Etsy seller AccioMischeif would use your favorite book of the series if you want her too.
