The unicorn that Freddie Wong won on the Internet is pretty cool. But there is a downside....

Still, I want one.

Livejournal user kproche built a tiki-themed Dalek. It won Best in Show at the recent Gallifrey One Masquerade ball. The link goes to a reverse-chronological order presentation of kproche's posts about building and displaying the Dalek.

Crystal Gregory calls her project "Invasive Crochet" -- the imposition of dainty doilies into harsh places. She writes that it:

[...] challenges gender roles by placing handwork on hardened city surfaces around New York. Crocheting lace doilies onto the razor wire of an abandoned lot for the 14th Street public art show Art in Odd Places, smothering the urban landscape in a soft, decorative, and familiar juxtaposition.

I grew up with Sesame Street, but I never envisioned Bert as a terrifying character. This silicone bust by The FX Lab forum user Nacho is a bit more unpleasant to the eye than the Muppet. More pictures at the link.

Instructables user bbstudio doesn't reveal how he does it, but the results of his egg carving are amazing! He's participating in a competition using the Egg-bot, so presumably that factors into the process.

High school baseball player Caleb Walker of Tupelo, Mississippi, really didn't have a chance of making it to home. But as you can see, he outwitted the catcher in a very clever move.

This darkened photo doesn't really do the project justice -- it just shows the neat lighting that illustrates why the class of this transport vessel was called Firefly. That was an important detail that Doyle didn't want to leave out. There's a complete minifig crew appropriately modified to look like the characters from Firefly, as well as articulated ship parts and a detachable shuttlecraft. Click on the link to see more photos.

The comedy troupe Half Day Today, which made the very funny trailer for an Oregon Trail movie, now envisions the board game Monopoly as a fast-paced thriller similar to The Devil's Advocate. It just might work as a real movie.

The steam engine, lightbulb, the polio vaccine -- and now this modern marvel. Since the beginning of time, humanity has been unable to drink two different slurpee flavors from the same cup, let alone alternate between them. Now crack researchers at the convenience store chain 7-11 have solved the problem and bestowed upon the world their solution:

In June, 7-Eleven will be slapping Slurpees into cups with dual chambers, a special valve and two straws that let folks drink one or two Slurpee flavors at a time. One in three customers at 7-Eleven buys a drink, says Jesus Delgado-Jenkins, SVP of marketing.

The length of a man's ring finger has been tied to success at financial trading, and its length in relation to the index finger is an indicator of exposure to testosterone in utero. Now a recent study suggests that men with long ring fingers are more likely to be considered attractive by women. Camille Ferdenzi of the University of Geneva explained:

"The aim was to understand what makes a man attractive," and whether at least some of those qualities "were in part conditioned by the foetal environment," Ferdenzi said in an interview.

For the visual test, the results were unambiguous. "The longer the ring finger compared to the index -- that is, the greater the exposure to testosterone -- the more attractive the face was rated," she said by phone.

A fertility clinic in Copenhagen wanted an easy way to transport biological materials in insulated storage through the city, and so commissioned the construction of the Sperm Bullitt:

The Sperm Bike is, like the company's sperm donations, a Danish product and constructed around the Danish Bullitt cargo bike from Larry vs Harry.

Producing the Sperm Bike was no easy task. It was constructed by the Danish company 10 Tons - who specialise in zoological and botanical models as well as paleontologic reconstructions, including full-size whales and dinosaurs.

With the tail, the bike is 2.9 metres long and fully-loaded with... um... sperm... it weighs 50 kg. About the same as my cargo bike with two kids and a bag of groceries.

If you scroll to the bottom of the linked article, you can find links to images of other unique custom cargo bikes built by the same company.

Would you like to smell like an orc? You're most of the way already, but let's finish you off with this new scent from Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs. The company describes it as "Field grey courgette musk, roughly cured leather, and vetiver." It's one of several scents based on D&D races, character classes, and alignments. Oh, they don't call it D&D, of course, but that's the obvious inspiration.

This doesn't seem like a good plan for a robbery. According to a local news report, the suspect:

[...] hid the game controller in his pocket and pretended it was a gun as he tried to rob the Sun Food Store on 62nd Avenue S.

He was arrested by a police officer who walked into the store in the middle of the robbery, police said.

Talk about bad luck! If only he brought a caulk gun instead, it might have worked.

There's not much evidence to support the claim, but allegedly, this is a picture of two bullets that collided with each other, head-on, from opposite directions. One is French and the other is Russian, and the two met in 1854 during the Crimean War.
