YouTube user BronyVids has been busy mashing up scenes from the web TV series My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic with thrilling action films, such as The Dark Knight. At the link, you can view similar videos using Inception and 300 as source audio.
The Spoctocus can neck pinch eight people simultaneously and squeeze itself through the narrowest of Jeffries tubes with ease. This tattoo has been attributed to artist Daniel Limon of Tuscon.
As a hobby, Willie Elder restores classic cars and trucks. So it wasn't too difficult to come up with all of the parts from a 1939 Dodge pickup truck (and other vehicles) necessary to make a functional grill:
The generous grilling area is encased in stainless steel resembling an engine block. It's tricked out with valve covers, exhaust manifolds, spark plugs and a water pump. The pump is from his son's '65 Mustang, the plugs from Elder's '49 Studebaker and the manifolds from his '70 Bronco.
Some of the accessories are purely functional. The grease-drippings pan below the propane-fueled grill area — which can simultaneously cook 24 burgers, 2 pounds of chicken and a dozen hot dogs — is an oil pan from his son's '77 Corvette. And the air cleaner on the grill's lid, serving as a smoke vent, is a modified stock part for a Ford Escort.

The MozART Group is a classically-trained string quartet, but its members certainly don't limit themselves to traditional performances. This video presents a sampling of their eccentric acts. The bluegrass "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" at 4:30 is especially good.

Yes, the machete-flinging crossbow was cool (though it does need a flaming chainsaw bayonet, IMHO). This is possibly even better: a machete shot toward its target with what appears to be a model rocket.
Angelo Bramanti and Giuseppe Siracusa made this marvelous sculpture from vinyl records. Wouldn't it be cool to see portraits of musicians melted into their own records?
Looking around the artists' website, it would appear that they're fond of using old media storage formats to create works of art, such the skyline of Syracuse rendered in VHS cassettes.
Flickr user Vó Maria's got the right idea. You might not even have to leave your kitchen to complete a Wolverine costume. Caleb Goellner of Comics Alliance, however, correctly points out that one needs a three-pronged fork to make this really convincing.
Should there be a sequel to The Big Lewboski? The production costs might be kept low if Tara Reid plays every single role. There appear to be some continuity problems, though.
