The Darth Vader burger is black, so it makes sense that the Chewbacca burger is hairy. It may be unpleasant to eat, but it's important that we stick to a faithful presentation of the Star Wars franchise.

What's astonishing is that this is not a photograph of goldfish in a tank. Japanese artist Riusuke Fukahori creates three dimensional images of goldfish by painting them, layer by layer, separated by very thin sheets of resin. You can look at them from any angle and they look just like fish. Watch a video at the link demonstrating how Fukahori does it.

When you go to court, dress professionally. Well, maybe not if you're a professional drug dealer:

A man accused of drug trafficking showed up for court Friday in Fort Lauderdale sporting a jacket that bore a cartoon-style recipe for cooking crack cocaine. [...]

The man's white jacket looked like a how-to guide for making crack cocaine, with a series of little pictures of a white substance with a spoon, a carton of baking soda and a little pot over a fire. The end product was a "rock," slang for the drug.

The finishing touch was the slogan "stack paper say nothing" — make money and hold onto it, in the vernacular.

Witnesses, including the man's attorney Joshua Rydell, would not reveal the name of the man, who did not get into trouble for his threads.

Rydell said his clients still surprise him by wearing drug-related attire to court.

"Giant marijuana leaves on their T-shirts..." Rydell said. "It's so common that I routinely advise clients, 'No drug-related clothes when you come to court.'"

I've only read through Fellowship and halfway through Two Towers, so I assume that this scene takes place later in the trilogy. But then why wasn't it featured in the movies?

If you drink enough of these, the physics will start to make sense. The Drunken Moogle, teacher of many geeky cocktail recipes, brings us the perfect Portal 2 drink. It was developed by James Dance. You'll need blue curacao, vodka, lemonade, cointreau, rum and Orangina.

Krystopher Sapp takes antique gun parts and reassembles them into fanciful sculptures. This is "The Privateer," and it looks the part. It's made from the remains of a Savage, a M1 Garand, an '03 Springfield, an AR-16 and a M-16. His exhibit, "When a Good Man Goes to War," is on display at La Luz de Jesus Gallery in Los Angeles until January 29.

This 1979 Dodge Ram Van, for sale on eBay, is a discreet, unobtrusive way of conveying your support for the Rebel Alliance. The interior isn't equipped for the full Star Wars experience, but think of that as a project that you can work on. The exterior is enough to give you the lifestyle that you crave:

Kids point, mouths gape, even had a cop turn around and pull over to have his picture made with it. I have owned many awesome cars over the years and this one has been the MOST fun. People actually hang out of their car taking pictures as you drive down the INTERSTATE! This van was one of those life experience check offs. "Owned an amazing custom star wars van-CHECK". Whoever buys her, you are buying not just a van, but a LIFE EXPERIENCE. Are you a minor celebrity? Well, get ready.

In 2010, the BBC Proms included a concert devoted to the music of Doctor Who. It included a grand stage show, with appearances by Cybermen, Daleks and more. Surprisingly, there were no fatalities among the humans in attendance. You can find all six parts of the concert embedded at the link.

Famed fantasy artist Frank Frazetta contributed work to ABC's advertising drive for Battlestar Galactica in 1978. One of the images at the second link seems particularly inspired by barbarian fantasy, rather than science fiction. Still, as Christopher Mills writes, "...they capture the epic scale that Glen Larson and his crew were trying so hard to accomplish on their television budget."

The Treehotel is a group of unusual tree houses in northern Sweden that guests can rent. All six sides of this one are mirrored, creating beautiful images as the sky and trees reflect on the surface. Others look like a bird's nest and a flying saucer.

I'm not entirely sure because the website is in Japanese, but it appears that a chocolatier called L’éclat offers chocolate versions of the planets of our solar system. Sadly, they're not to scale, or else I'd call dibs on Jupiter!

Dr. Bunsen Honeydew has finally driven Beaker so completely insane that he's indistinguishable from Iron Maiden's iconic Eddie the Head. Brian Snoddy made this altered cover. At the link, you can find one of Gonzo as Ted Nugent.

Make sure that your bartender knows what he's doing, or else you'll die. The hirezake is a mixture of warm rice wine and a fried fugu fish. That's the same fish that is poisonous if not expertly prepared. So if your bartender looks a little sloshed, just ask for the Shirley Temple instead.

At the link, you can find many more strange, unusual, or possibly disgusting drinks from around the world. Among them is one that requires a severed human toe.

Etsy seller Steven Shaver turns old car parts into cufflinks, belt buckles and clocks. Here's a desk clock that is built into a piston from an old Volvo engine. Don't worry -- you won't have to change the oil in this clock.
