Thursday, August 26th, 2010If you’re going to get a tattoo of Bill Murray inspired by his old-school, seminal film work, I’d think the obvious choice would be Caddyshack.

Check out the photo below, where the child has unmasked himself, thereby ruining the illusion. Personally, I would have considered scolding him, if he weren’t a friar-in-training.
How Rich Nerds Spend Money: Tauntaun Ice Sculpture
Wednesday, August 25th, 2010This tauntaun ice sculpture showed up at a party thrown by G4 TV. Strangely, you weren’t invited. You’ll just have to get your own TV production company powered by attractive geeks if you ever want to go to a shindig featuring ice sculptures of your dearest nerdy icons.

Not for Home Defense: Homemade Collapsible Batarang
Wednesday, August 25th, 2010Inspired by the designs in the Batman: Arkham Asylum video game, Spookylean posted on Instructables the how-to guide for making this very-cool collapsable Batarang. (Video below.) Which seems like a really worthwhile craft project, right up until the point where I remember I’m not allowed to throw it at people. (Cue the Fail Horn.)
