It looks more like an animatronic teddy bear than a baby killing machine. I want one!

A Dinner Fit For A Dovahkiin



Mmmm...grilled leeks, grilled chicken breast, baked potatoes and boiled creme tarts, who could resist? Kotaku reader S Galinsky sent in this great Skyrim-inspired meal he made at home. It does look like it was pulled right out of the game.

Bang! Bang! Banana Gun Will Shoot You Down



Now that's a fancy banana, it looks just like a .45 caliber with a gorgeous carved handle. It would be too beautiful to eat if it weren't for the fact that the artwork will just rot away in a few hours anyway.

Baked Snow Cones? WTF?!?



Ok, it's not really that weird, they're actually just cupcakes designed to look like snow cones -making them a perfect summertime treat for the kiddies (and the adults too). For even more fun you could always try making red, white and blue snow cones and playing snack roulette.

10 Uninhabited Islands & Why No One Lives There



At one point or another, we've all fantasized about living on our own isolated island, but while there are plenty uninhabited islands around, you have to wonder why no one has moved in yet. Mental Floss has the scoop on ten uninhabited islands and why no one happens to live on each. For example, Palmyra Atoll can be seen in the picture above:
The U.S. military built an airstrip there during World War II, which has fallen into ruin. The atoll now is administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife agency, with the exception of Cooper Island, which is owned by the Nature Conservancy. Palmyra Atoll was the setting for a double murder in 1974 which became the basis for the novel and then miniseries called And the Sea Will Tell.

The Cutest Little Cumberbatch Ever

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think there are nearly enough adorable crafts based on the BBC Sherlock series.

I Hate That Guy!!!


(Video Link)

He's always looking at me, starting fights with me, hissing at me and just being a serious jerk. I don't know what the heck his problem is, but I'm gonna kick his butt.

Everybody Conga!!!!!

Teddy bears might not actually have picnics, but apparently real bears love to dance. I don't know about you, but I would sure jump in this line!

I Would So Play Silent Moon



Or maybe it's Sailor Hill. Either way, the combination of adorable anime and terrifying survival horror sounds like a delightful idea.

The Freakish Beauty of Human Eyes



We've all seen human eyes, but it's rare to look this closely at them -and when you do, it's amazing how weird they actually look, filled with nooks, crannies and a surprising array of vivid colors. See more fantastic close ups of human eyes at the link.

Beware the Kitten in Power



Mecha kitty says his litter needs to be changed now and he's not kidding. And you'd better cough up the cat nip quick.

Reddit user Tastybread made this great cardboard kitty bed for his hardcore kitty fighter.

Hot Dogs For Dessert?



When should you polish off a meal of hot dogs with more hot dogs for dessert? When the later dogs are actually delicious sugar cookies with a quick squeeze of yellow frosting. I know what I'm having this Fourth of July!

No Big Deal, I'm Just Swimming With a Polar Bear


(Video Link)

You have to be pretty darn brave to get this up close and personal with one of the biggest predators around. That being said, it's pretty adorable and I'm totally jealous. Would you dare to swim with this cuddly beast?

The Harvest Mouse Is A True Acrobat



The harvest mouse is only two or so inches tall, but it's adapted well to the reeds, wheat fields and other tall vegetation in its homeland thanks to its amazing acrobatic skills. Just look at his amazing prowess.
"The feet are specially adapted for climbing, with the outer of the five toes on each foot being large and more-or-less opposable," writes University of Michigan's Francesca Ivaldi. "This mouse can grip a stem with each hindfoot and its tail, leaving the forepaws free for collecting food. It can also use its tail for balance as it scurries along long grass stems."
