The banana fan has been around since 2002. This video was uploaded in 2007. Yet somehow these things are still not in mass production. How can that be?

Giganten aus Strahl is an art studio in Germany that produces fantastic sculptures out of scrap metal, including this sadly nonfunctional Mercedes 300 coupe replica. You can see more photos at the link, including ones that show the scrap metal spare tires in the trunk and the scrap metal engine under the hood.

Mind = blown. Debbie Smythe, a textile artist from the UK, makes enormous installations composed of threads strung along pins. Although what you're seeing may look like a pen and ink drawing, it's actually hundreds of pins and narrow threads. Take a look at her website to see close-in, detailed photos of how she assembles these works.

A decision by a single character, often a very small change, would have completely altered the Star Wars trilogy. Brian Murphy of Dorkly offers eight examples. Sadly, no change to the original trilogy could have prevented the prequels from taking place.

On the other hand, maybe trying to figure out where they are will help the residents of this Zürich retirement home will keep their minds active. Anyway, this design by Information Architects is certainly aesthetically appealing.

Barbara Bush, the First Lady of the United States from 1989 to 1993, didn't think much of The Simpsons, and said so publicly. Marge Simpson took offense and wrote a polite but firm letter objecting to Bush's characterization of the show as "the stupidest thing I've ever seen." The First Lady responded to Mrs. Simpson's note and apologized for the remark.

The Neustadt Kunsthofpassage, if I understand my sources correctly, is an artsy neighborhood in Dresden. One wall of a building there is covered with funnels and gutters shaped like musical instruments. It's like a Rube Goldberg machine with water.

YouTube user Buchan39 has figured it out: adding Tom Selleck's iconic mustache immediately elevates the quality of any movie. Toy Story? Check. American Beauty? Check. The Exorcist? Check. Steel Magnolias? Well, that's not in the video, but the 'stache could only help.

German artist Nik Nowak is prepared for the worst DJing assignments. His tank is an enormous sound system mounted on the chassis of a tracked dumper. When he's in position, he can lift the body of the tank forward to make his speakers face the audience. All the controls that he needs to drive or manipulate sound are in the cockpit. So who has a request?

Canada's Royal Mint has introduced a line of quarter dollar coins with native cryptids on them. One one side, you can find Queen Elizabeth II. On the other, you'll see variously Memphré, which is a reptilian monster that inhabits a lake in Quebec, Mishepishu, which is a water panther of Lake Superior, or the more internationally famous Sasquatch.

Dominic Wilcox is a very imaginative artist whose work we've featured extensively at Neatorama. His latest project is a real treat: moving human figures inside watches. The results are often quite amusing. My favorites are "Oblivious iPhone User" and "The Unrequited Handshake."

Well, over time, the Joker did change his appearance. I mean, Cesar Romero and Heath Ledger didn't look alike at all. So some confusion is inevitable for a busy vigilante.
