Freaky Zombie Plush Doll Asks To Be Dismembered
How weird can the world really get? Well, I guess you'd have to somehow ask the world's population to get the right answer, but judging from recent news, it's quite weird if you ask me. Left and right we hear about horrible attacks that make the usual news seem pale and... well, ordinary. It's sad r ...
Lego Brick Bridge: The Geekiest Overpass In The World
I wish SO MUCH I could tell you this bridge is actually made out of Lego bricks. Wouldn't that be the best bridge ever if it was? They could charge a toll, and I would pay it just to drive over the bricks. Well, this isn't quite what it looks like. It's a bit of an illusion because it's an old ugly ...
Flip Flop Bottle Opener Makes You The MacGyver Of The Beach
There are a lot of clever innovators in the world who are constantly trying to come up with what will become tomorrow's next big seller. Usually it's some weird yet quite genius mashup of things that we normally wouldn't think of in the same sentence. There are a lot of examples of this, and if I tr ...

Cellular Jerks: Mind Your Mobile Manners [Infographic]
According to this infographic, I'm a cellular jerk. Are you? The weird thing is, I know I get annoyed with stupid people, but overall, I thought I was a relatively nice person. After reading this, apparently I'm not. Have you ever held up the line at the supermarket because you were trying to send a ...
The Best Super Mario Birthday Party Ever
Wow, I can't think of a better way to be sure your child grows up to be a well round geek than to throw him or her a Mario themed birthday party. I've read about Mario parties before, but this one has to be the most elaborate, creative one yet, and it's definitely in a class of its own. As a matter ...

How To Cat-Proof Your Computer [Infographic]
Omg, it is so funny to me that 97% of cat owners say their cat has deleted something by walking across the keyboard. Have you ever stopped to consider that maybe your cat is deleting files on purpose? I've always thought cats have access to some parallel universe, and if aliens are watching us, I'm ...
Geeky Mom Creates Star Wars AT-AT From Diaper Boxes
Ahh... Here we go again with another wonderfully odd creation inspired by the beloved AT-AT. When it comes to AT-ATs, or Star Wars in general, there is no end to the inspiration and creative energy that surrounds it, so I expect that we'll be writing about these kinds of things for a long time to co ...

Then & Now: Kids In 1982 vs. Kids In 2012 [Infographic]
Yesterday I wrote about a retro Atari commercial that's at least 30 years old (Atari turns 40 this year). I watched that and laughed at how different things were back then. Even in that video clip, which is only a little over a minute long, you can get a feel for how different our lifetstyle was bac ...
DIY Princess Leia Robe: So Easy Even A Wookie Could Make It
This is so freaking smart, why didn't I think of that? Do you have a brown hoodie and a white bathrobe at your house? If you do, you got yourself a Princess Leia robe; you just didn't know it! This is so simple, and it looks like it took about an hour to make (or less). It's super duper easy yet bri ...
That’s How We Used To Do It Kids: A Retro Atari T.V. Commercial
If you were a geeky kid in the '80s, you probably remember playing Atari games. I can still remember the very first time I was introduced to a video game, and it was on an Atari. When I was a little girl, I used to sit in my red beanbag chair and play Frogger and Centipede for hours. Those old games ...
Face Socks: Sneaky Way Of Expressing Your Feelings
Yesterday I wrote an article called 10 Signs You Are Truly Happy, and people seemed to respond really well to it. Some people feel like happiness is not a choice, but rather a privilege that we earn. I am of a different opinion since I believe we mold life as we want it to be. It's all in the action ...

A Blogger’s Refresher Course In English Grammar [4 Infographics]
I'm a real stickler when it comes to proper English grammar and punctuation. That doesn't mean I'm good at it, it just means it matters a lot to me. I'm constantly learning about it, and I read tons of articles on the topic. There was one article I read about a year ago (I wish I could remember wher ...
Walking Bag Is Perfect For Days When You Want To Stay In Bed
