I saw this wonderful cake come across the wire today and just had to post it. I’m not the biggest of Star Wars freaks, but I love the movies all the same. This cake, commissioned by the bride Rebecca Dudeiros, was created by a chef named Teresa Ulrich. The cake shows a lovely cut of the movie where the AT-AT was taken down by the rebellion. It turned out wonderfully in my eyes, but the little Ewoks seem a bit freaky to me to eat. Let’s just hope they aren’t red velvet cupcakes, because that would just plain raise the creepy factor. Awesome job!

Almost every person has seen Michelangelo’s “La Pietà” created in 1499 depicting Mary holding Jesus after the crucifixion.

Now, nerds have their own version. Kordian Lewandowski has created “Game Over” showing Princess Peach holding a dead Mario. With as many times as I died playing the original Super Mario Brothers on the Nintendo, I can vividly imagine the feelings that the princess had. Oh well, glad to see nerds are being incorporated into culture. Everything from Optimus Rhyme, MC Frontalot and now this!

Normally, I really dislike when a person decides to remix any of my favorite movies, but I have to say, this remix of The Dark Crystal has to be quite hilarious. Any of you who might be a little concerned about some language might stay away (not too bad), but other than that, enjoy my own thoughts of what beggars are like.

Over at Information is Beautiful, they have generated a visual timeline of how science fiction movies interact with each other. It is quite interesting to see all the paradoxes in the timelines, and yet funniest is the Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure follow through. I have included a copy of the image, but you are probably best off going to their website to see it in all its glorious detail!

Most of the time, XKCD‘s comics are way too high brow for the normal person to understand (and I actually lump myself into that group!), but today’s just really struck a funny chord with me. Just think, mixing Sauron and Beyonce in the same comic takes skill, just pure skill!

…considering the head of the Doctor’s arch nemesis was found in a lake in the UK!

Marc Oakland was cleaning a pond in Hampshire when he stumbled the head of a Dalek…the famous enemy of the UK’s Doctor Who television series. To me, this proves one of two things…either this is a leftover prop from the show that gone thrown in the swamp, or the Daleks really do exist and this is one that got lost and died in the swamp. I vote for the latter…which makes me scared, really scared.

I saw this video and was quite impressed. I never thought about the GPS embedded in planes to capture latitude, longitude as well as altitude. Capturing those and then tracking them all with a global satellite image has created quite a unique video.

Thanks goes again to Scott Johnson! Great one!
