Carls Jr.'s newest creation sounds like a little bit of dessert heaven, and may prove to be the tastiest burger ever made.

Called the Brrrger, it's an ice cream sandwich posing as a hamburger, complete with ketchup and mustard icing between two sugar cookie buns.

It's currently being tested at Carls Jr. locations in Orange County, California but hopefully these burger shaped treats will be taking the nation by storm this summer when customers can't get enough of this sweet imposter.

Late 19th century Paris was a swinging place, with nightclubs that promised to send your spirit straight to heaven, leave you lingering in a drunken limbo, or help you sin your way into the depths of hell.

These clubs provided theatrical ambiance, astoundingly detailed architecture and a never ending array of alcoholic beverages, and they were designed to take patrons on a trip to the other side, a true escapists paradise.

These amazing clubs no longer exist, but they were well documented in the 1899 book Bohemian Paris Of To-Day by William Chambers Morrow and Edouard Cucuel, which is now available via archive.org.

There's a secret level in Blizzard's newest action RPG Diablo III that seems mighty out of place when compared to the rest of the game.

It's called Whimsyshire, and it's full of teddy bears, unicorns, rainbows and a color palette straight out of My Little Pony.

It's the kind of place where your character can take a break from all those undead hordes and stagnant caves, even if the killing doesn't stop at the end of the rainbow.

Images of the Dude abound in the newest works by painter and pop culture junkie Dave MacDowell. They're brightly colored, tongue in cheek dedications to the gods of geekdom.

Gallery 1988 is currently showing the works of Dave MacDowell at their Santa Monica location now through June 2nd, and these works look even better in person, where the colors can pop you in the eye and the smell of nerdy desperation lingers in the air.

If you've ever played the video games in the Professor Layton series then you know that the one thing these games are missing is a suitably cerebral soundtrack score.

The folks at Gamological Society agreed, so they've created an alternate soundtrack for the games by using music composed by Yann Tierson.

It's just the kind of soundtrack you need to keep those mental juices flowing, as you try to puzzle your way through the often infuriating games in the Professor Layton series.

Created by Lee Moyer and Keith Baker, with pieces sculpted by Paul Komoda, The Doom is currently seeking funding via Kickstarter, so if you like the premise you can contribute and make sure this awesome game hits the shelves.

Talk about urban beautification! Japanese manhole covers aren't just for covering holes in the ground, they're colorful and artistic and often embody elements of Japanese culture.

Booooooom! has a rather impressive collection of Japanese manhole covers for you to peruse at the link below.

Seeing how nice they all look makes me want to grab some paint and beautify my city, too bad the local law enforcement won't appreciate my artistic efforts!

Frank Frazetta created a series of illustrations for The Hobbit and The Lord Of The Rings back in 1975, which were released as a limited edition, signed and numbered portfolio.

The illustrations are simply amazing, and his take on the LOTR universe probably would have made Tolkien blush, due to the lack of backside armor and the abundance of gore.

The illustrations are presented complete with tears and blemishes, obviously scans from someone's personal collection, but in my opinion that doesn't really detract from the overall beauty of the illustrations, and it saves you from having to shell out $400 (going rate on Ebay) just to see them all.

It's hard to argue with the protest sign this guy is carrying, unless you're one of those government intelligence types and you're trying to conceal the truth about the existence of time travel technology from the masses.

I wish I could travel back in time to the moment this guy finished making his sign and snatch it up, leaving behind a note which reads "protest noted and acknowledged, have a nice day!"
