Geekologie I Watch Stuff The Superficial
  • NASA Drew A Giant Peen On Mars With Its Old Rovers
    April 24, 2013
    And I would've done the same. NASA, best known for crumpling up my astronaut application and crushing a young man's dreams, apparently took the time out of the Spirit and Opportunity rovers' busy schedules of searching for alien life and taking pictures of dust to draw this gi... / Continue →
  • Salt Everything: Giant African Land Snails Invading Miami
    April 16, 2013
    So apparently the Miami area is fighting an invasion of Giant African Land Snails, an invasive species of gastropod that's capable of EATING THROUGH WALLS. Well, stucco and plaster anyways. Which is what some walls are made of. Unless you're the first little pig, in which ca... / Continue →
  • I'd Live There: Insane 200,000-Piece LEGO Alien City
    April 3, 2013
    This is Mike Doyle's (of abandoned LEGO Victorian House fame) 200,000-piece construction of K'al Yne, Odan -- a fictional alien city. It's the first in his series of 'Contact' builds, which are all about celebrating intelligent life in the universe....and stuff. Stuff way ove... / Continue →
  • Alien Chestburster Carved From The End Of A Pencil
    March 21, 2013
    This is an Alien chestburster carved out of pencil lead by Hungarian DeviantARTist cerkahegyzo. It's not one of those giant pencils you used in kindergarten either, it's a regular one. Which reminds me -- in high school I carved mine and a girlfriend's initials into a tree tr... / Continue →
  • Krang Carved Out Of A Watermelon Inside A Pumpkin
    October 30, 2012
    This is Krang from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles carved out of a watermelon inside a pumpkin by artist Mike V. As you can see, he did an amazing job and clearly has the skills to pay the bills. Cover my electricity this month? Hit the jump for another angle and the concep... / Continue →
  • Baby Ripley In Power Loader Halloween Costume
    October 29, 2012
    This is a friend of Redditor rdt156 showing of he and his daughter's Halloween costume -- a power loader from Aliens, with the little girl acting as a miniature Ripley. That's pretty clever incorporating both an adult and baby costume into one. You know, that way you don't ha... / Continue →
  • Amateur Astronomer Captures Video Of Hovering UFO
    October 25, 2012
    Seen here looking nothing like the alien spacecraft that comes to beam me up for my annual enema, the UFO spotted by amateur Kentucky astronomer Allen Epling is seen hovering in the sky. I think it might just be a plastic bag. According to CBS affiliate WYMT-TV, Epling, pictu... / Continue →
  • Ultra-Realistic Ripley Bust Sculpture From 'Aliens'
    October 22, 2012
    This is a realer-than-real sculpture of Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) from 'Aliens'. It was sculpted (cast) by Steve Scotts out of silicone and a big box of SICK TALENT. I actually had to go back and look at all the in-process shots to make sure it was real. AND IT IS. T... / Continue →
  • Astronomers Discover Planet That's At Least 1/3 Diamond
    October 12, 2012
    Astronomers have recently verified that 55 Cancri e, a planet originally discovered in 2004, is composed mostly of carbon, at least a third of which is in the form of DIAMONDS. And it's only 40-light years away! Travel at the speed of light for 40 years and you're there. Ano... / Continue →
  • For Sale: Dalek Replicas Made From The Original Molds
    September 17, 2012
    Firebox is selling these $5,700 Dalek replicas made from the same molds and specs as the originals by the BBC's props department. So I just did the math, and if 52 of us get together and put in $110, we can each have it for one week out of the year. Obviously, I will take the... / Continue →
