Tash the dog can fend for herself, thank you very much. She goes noodling in the water and brings back a fish. Now go back and get me a 300-pound alligator gar.

We could look for those droids. But instead, let's just knock off early and go sit on the porch. It's doesn't sound like it's anything important. I think the Sarge was just trying to keep us busy. Take it easy in this chair made by the Got Wood Workshop.

He's almost indestructible. I mean, you've got to pour dozens of rounds into him before he dies. Then he comes back to life, over and over again. What is this monster? In this funny short film by Fatawesome, the villains try to cope with a video game in which they are expendable, but the hero is not. Content warning: violence.

Now witness the bounciness of this fully celluloid and operational ping pong ball. A forum user named tatumaru5963 made this amazing model of the Death Star. If you can read Japanese, please tell us anything else noteworthy about its creation because Google Translate isn't helping much.

Olly Moss's brilliantly funny cartoon references Benjamin Franklin's 1754 drawing calling for American unity. The Voltron force would have been pretty useful about 21 years later.

Ken Preece's iCoustic Suitcase unpacks into a full drum set. And as you can see from the video posted on his Facebook wall, it plays well, too.

You stay on your side of the fence; I'll stay on mine. Maybe we can get along. And maybe--just maybe--through the magical power of grilled meat, we can bridge the divide between us. The Dutch design firm Natwerk designed the Buurbecue to help.

While browsing through the archives of Ian McCollum's marvelous Forgotten Weapons blog, I came across this unusual and curvaceous rifle design. It's Nikolai Afanasiev's TKB-011 2M automatic rifle from the mid 1960s. The bullpup design--meaning that the action is behind the trigger--permits a short overall length, thus making it useful for confined spaces. As far as I can tell, it was never put into production. Sometimes beauty is not accompanied by practicality.

Fantasy artist Frank Frazetta died five months before the premier of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. DeviantART member zedew imagined an alternate world in which Frazetta lived long enough to shape the show in the image of his iconic painting The Death Dealer.

Since we're on the topic, let me pose this question to our readers: in a fight between Applejack and Rainbow Dash, who would win?

Laugh all you want, but he's staying dry. Geeks Are Sexy reader Amy, the proprietor of this tattoo, writes that "I live my life by lessons I learned in Star Wars." A commendable attitude.

The Living Brick's "Mi-Fi" competition didn't challenge contestants to build enormous and elaborate dioramas using tens of thousands of bricks, but to express, using as few bricks as possible, memorable scenes from science fiction. This is Carl Merriam's depiction of Leela, Fry and Bender of Futurama delivering pillows to a high-gravity planet. You can find the other contest entries at the link.

I've never thought of combining these two treats, but I suspect that it'd taste really good. Sarah J. Gim suggests using cheddar, American, mozzarella and Monterrey jack cheeses. You can find her recipe at the link.

Click on the button on Mike Keith's page, and you'll be presented with two out of a potential one octillion sonnets, both of which are anagrams of each other. Here's how:

The two poems above each have the form of a classical English sonnet with fourteen lines of iambic pentameter and a rhyme scheme of abab cdcd efef gg. In addition, these sonnets are anagrams: each one can be formed by rearranging the letters in the other one. Every time you click the button above (or reload this page) you will see a different pair of mutually-anagrammatic sonnets - one of a grand total of about one octillion (1027) available.

This is made possible by having, behind the scenes, a text consisting of 14 sets of 10 lines of iambic pentameter. For each number n (from 1 through 14), we choose two different lines (say A and B) from set n then assign line A to the nth line in the left sonnet and line B to the nth line in the right sonnet. The resulting poems always have reasonable grammar and sense, as a result of the way the lines are worded; in addition, the fact that the sets as a whole obey the sonnet rhyme scheme (all lines in set 1 rhyme with all lines in set 3, and so on) ensure that the sonnets rhyme properly. Finally, the two poems are always anagrams because of this fact: all 10 lines in each of the 14 sets are anagrams of each other.

Go back to the future in style in this limo. Just be aware that it's heavier and getting it up to 88 MPH is harder on the engine.

I'm not sure who made this car (or the photo), but I suspect that it's Rich W., a DeLorean modder.

UPDATE 6/28/12: Rich Weissensel wrote in and confirmed that this is indeed his DeLorean limousine. He tells us that this photo is from the Hilton at Lake Buena Vista, Florida. He also directed us to two galleries and build information about this marvel. Thanks, Rich!
