12 Absolutely Insane Prom Dresses

The duct tape prom dress scholarship contest was going on when I was in high school, but even so, none of our dresses were nearly this outrageous. This particular couple's costume was inspired by the late, great Andy Warhol. There are plenty more insane prom outfits at the link, so be sure to check them all out. Link


The Most Amazing Pinatas Ever



If you're familiar with Regretsy, then you know most of their featured products are absolute trash. That being said, like Cake Wrecks, they occasionally find something that is truly worthy of praise. This amazing pinata is just one of the many detailed, artistic and downright cool designs you can order from the Pulp Parlour. Anyone wanna buy me one for my birthday this year?

Superhero Flags



If superheros were to start their own nations, then these flags would be ideal ways for each of the respective heroes to display their pride in their respective countries. How many can you recognize?

An Adorable Dalek Dress



If anyone was interested in creating a list of the geekiest dresses on earth, this one would definitely be near the top of the list. My favorite part of the dress though is that it looks fairly simply to make, but would be an excellent Comic Con costume. If any Neatonauts who are planning to attend the convention want to get on my yearly Comic Con costumes post, this is a great way to do so.

Behind The Scenes of The USPS



I love the idea of this project by web designer Matthew McVickar. He sent this camera in the mail with a message asking the postal workers to take pictures on the camera's trip to its destination. The result is fun and educational, and it would be a great school project for any teachers out there.

Dogs Beat Humans In Push Car Race



They might have the advantage of reduced weight, but it does seem like the humans should have had more muscle behind them. Even so, this is an incredibly riveting race between man versus beast.

Lord of The Rings/Star Wars Cross Over



DeviantArt user Ferret42's Speedking of Angmar is a seamless blend of two of the greatest movie epics to ever grace the silver screen. Fantasy and sci-fi have never gone so well together.

Will he fit? Of course he will. He's Maru isn't he?

Circuit Board Paintings



Artist Joe Dragt's medium of choice is the humble outdated circuit board. It's a great way to reinject value into something that otherwise may have been thrown away. The paintings work surprisingly well as a backdrop for the organic subjects he uses.

Reversed Pictures of Parents With Their Kids



What happens when you switch a parent and a child's head in a photograph? Pure creepiness and delightful family photos that won't soon be forgotten, that's what. Paul Ripke's Kindsköpfe (“Grown Ups”) series is certainly worth taking a long look at.

Should I Change My Password

With the Lulzsec recent post of email addresses and passwords, along with all the regular hacking that occurs on a regular basis, it can be really hard to know if your email password has been compromised. Fortunately, Should I Change My Password can help automatically scan a variety of these info leaks to check if your password has been hacked. This way, you only have to change your password if it actually needs to be updated.

Update: Just to be clear, you don't have to enter your password on the site, just your email.

Puppy Playing Bowser



At first glance,  it looks a little mean, but the dog can't be all that upset if his tail is wagging that much, can he?

BioShock's Rapture In LEGO



If you've ever played BioShock, then you know just how amazing the setting, which takes place in the underwater city of Rapture, looks. That's why it's so cool to see this amazing recreation of the city created entirely in LEGOs. Be sure to click the link for even more amazing detailed photos.

The Most Awesomely Geeky Tattoo Ever



To be fair, this tattoo will only make sense to those of you who have seen King of Kong and are familiar with Billy Mitchell's obsessive Donkey Kong antics. If you haven't seen the movie, go watch it and then revisit this post so you can laugh and laugh.

The Amazing Imitating Lyrebird







The lyre bird attracts its mates by doing accurate impressions of the other birds in the forest. When they are put an urban setting though, they quickly start copying the other noises they hear instead though, whether that means cars, construction equipment or camera noises. Here's one doing its thing at the Adelaide Zoo. On an interesting side note, a group of lyrebirds is known as a musket. For more cool animal grouping names, this Environmental Graffiti article may prove useful. Video link
