Mast-Hers of the Universe: Skeletor and Beast Man Crossplay [Cosplay]
By Great White Snark | September 2, 2010
Giggle.
Actually, I’m 50/50 on whether or not that’s a girl in the Beast Man costume. But those sure are some feminine legs.
Via Look at this Frakking Geekster, who knows a girl when he sees one. And they happen to be wearing a t-shirt that says, “I’m a girl.”

Do Not Taunt: Homemade Sharktopus Plush Toy
By Great White Snark | September 2, 2010
This hobbled-together, homemade Sharktopus toy enjoys approximately the same level of production values that went into SyFy’s Sharktopus made-for-TV movie.
Yet it’s likely I’d appreciate and enjoy my time with the toy approximately 17 times as much.

C’mere, So I Can Shoot You A Lot: Heat-Tracking NERF Sentry Gun
By Great White Snark | September 1, 2010
It’s about time that someone combined over-the-top Nerf guns with autonomous cubicle warfare sensibility.
Behold the winner of MAKE’s Gadget Freak Design Contest:
Rick Prescott outfitted a Nerf® Vulcan EBF-25 machine gun with an array of Devantech TPA81 thermopile sensors, all controlled by an ATmega168, to create this wicked Aliens-style heat-tracking autocannon:
“An idea sparked in my mind one day while walking the toy gun isle in a store with my kid and later that evening learning of the workings of a thermopile array while surfing the internet.”
Translation: “Nerf blahbitty-blahbitty thermopile blah blah HA HA I SHOT YOU SEVEN TIMES WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING!”

Well, Hello, Horrible Idea: 1985 Porsche Batmobile
By Great White Snark | September 1, 2010
You know what made the Batmobile from the 1989 Batman movie so cool?
That it didn’t at all look like any car made in the 1980s.

How’s That OCD Going for You?: Matchstick Minas Tirith
By Great White Snark | August 31, 2010
Hey, great, if you’ve got enough free time to build a giant model of Minas Tirith out of matchsticks, I’m sure you wouldn’t mind looking for that retainer I lost in Tampa Bay when I was jet-skiing that one time in 1990.
Where in Tampa Bay? Oh. You know. Out towards the middle, or thereabouts. Yeah. The middle. Anyway, you’ve got time, right? Ha, ha, ha! Fake convivial laughter! Ha, ha!
