Y-Wing Fighter Bed

This incredibly detailed and totally awesome Y-Wing bed is currently for sale. Pictures of the bed were included in an online real estate listing for a house in California. The photos were given no explanation or context, but really they don’t need any. They scream, “I am worth the $365,000 asking price for this house”.

Do. Want.

Tumbler Go-Kart Is Only Kind Of Awesome

Ebay user “tully712″ built his very own Tumbler Go-Kart, and is now auctioning off the plans on Ebay for a whopping $29. At first I was like “AWESOME, MY VERY OWN TUMBLER!” But after careful consideration (read: watching this video), I retract that statement.

I guess I just kind of expected it to be more…Tumblery. It can’t even reverse! If you pull into a corner, you have to get out and push. WTF. Even the tiniest of Batmans would find this to be unacceptable.

Should you feel the need to build your own sorta disappointing Tumbler, you can go place a bid over on Ebay.

New Giant Planet Is Like, Such A Rebel

A new planet has been discovered by the the Wide Area Search for Planets (otherwise known as WASP), and apparently, it’s GIGANTIC.  WASP-17 (as it is now affectionately called) is twice the size of Jupiter, making it the largest planet yet found, although it weighs only half as much as its little brother.

But what makes WASP-17 the coolest kid in school? He’s orbiting backwards.

Astronomer David Anderson said: “Newly formed solar systems can be violent places. Our own Moon is thought to have been created when a Mars-sized planet collided with the recently formed Earth and threw up a cloud of debris. A near collision during the early, violent stage of this planetary system could well have caused a gravitational slingshot, flinging WASP-17 into its backwards orbit.”

Oh, WASP-17. You’re like the James Dean of planets.

Interactive Tribbles. Like Furbies For Geeks!

Ever watched “The Trouble With Tribbles” and thought to yourself, “I wish I could just cuddle up with one of those?” Well, now you can.

These interactive Tribbles purr, quake, and even quail when upset. But unlike their sci-fi counterparts, they can be turned off with the click of a switch, and thankfully cannot reproduce.

While calming to most humanoids, Tribbles will totally NOT calm a Klingon. So, you know…watch out for that.

Interactive Tribbles are available from ThinkGeek starting at $15.

 

Companion Cube Cabinet

LiveJournal-er James White set about building his very own Companion Cube cabinet, and posted photos of the entire ordeal to his journal. The result? Awesomeness.

It’s the writing on the interior of the cabinet that really makes this perfect.

Extra points for baking a cake for the photo shoot.

View the whole painstaking process on James’ LiveJournal.
