Deviantartist SadDaysCrochet has created this nerdily awesome dwarven crochet hat-beard. I just want to wear it around all day, lounging in my long underwear and pajama pants. The real name of SadDaysCrochet is Susan Oldfield, and she has created some awesome things out of yarn. My favorite? This crochet Ultramarine, but the dwarf mask comes in a close second.

Mosaic artist Jason Mecier loves to play with his food. While I applaud his effort, I have to say with all that bacon laying around- can I just have a piece? He must keep an entire grocery store employed with all that bacon!
Mecier also made beef jerky Barack Obama and Mitt Romney mosaics. So there is that.
P.S. Do you love bacon as much as we do? Check out our Bacon Store!

A thief, a crook, a robber, a lifter, a pickpocket, a pilferer, a cat burglar. When a small neighborhood discovered that more than 20 sets of house and car keys had gone missing, where did they place their blame? Probably not on a neighborhood cat named Milo.
Milo, the culprit behind the disappearance of said pieces, had taken them all from the neighborhood homes of the Stoke Newington residents in north east London. Milo wears a magnetic collar around her neck so she can access the cat flap in her owner's home. Many of the homes in Stoke Newington have cat flaps. Kirsten Alexander, Milo's owner, had no idea that Milo had been sneaking into the homes of the neighbors while she was at work. It wasn't until Alexander saw Milo coming back through the cat flap one day, collar covered with a clutter of keys, that she realized what was going on.
"When I saw her coming through the cat flap with a set of keys round her neck I thought 'poor thing' because her neck was really weighed down, and then it dawned on me what was happening,” she said. "I've given all the keys back and luckily neighbours have seen the funny side of it."

Even with breakout star R.A. Dickey, the Mets were bad again this year. They have been mediocre at best for the better part of a decade, finishing under .500 seven times since 2002. That's not Pittsburgh Pirate bad, but that isn't great. As a lifelong Cubs fan, I feel their pain. All of that, however, doesn't mean that can't be good at Future Baseball.

German bicycle designer Didi Senft is the builder of the world's largest bicycle and the largest mobile guitar, which was made out of bike parts. He likes bicycles. He is also known as "El Diablo" of the Tour de France because he always dresses up as a devil for the event.
This year, however, he put aside his devilish ways and dressed up as Santa Claus to premiere his new reindeer bike. It was for a Christmas-themed construction show in Storkow, Germany.

I have heard of these sorts of ideas for a while now, people using drones to deliver food, but now we finally get to see it in action! As you can see from the image above, a pretty rudimentary plan was put into place. Then again, this seems pretty ground breaking in terms of delivery food. Here is how it works.
You connect to the Burrito Bomber web-app and order a burrito. Your smartphone sends your current location to our server, which generates a waypoint file compatible with the drone's autopilot.
We upload the waypoint file to the drone and load your burrito in to our custom made Burrito Delivery Tube.
The drone flies to your location and releases the Burrito Delivery Tube. The burrito parachutes down to you, the drone flies itself home, and you enjoy your carne asada.

If you don't recognize the names and faces then the two people involved here are Sir Patrick Stewart and LeVar Burton. Stewart and Burton both played lead characters on Stark Trek: The Next Generation. Stewart was Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Burton was Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge. If you still don't recognize them by now, well then you are a lost soul. Star Trek guy with a VISOR ring a bell?
In the image above you can see that Burton retweeting a picture of Stewart getting tangled in Christmas lights. It's good to see that the actors still have a friendly rapport and that there characters still mean something to them. Star Trek geeks, rejoice!

Calvin is just too smart for his own good. Who else would go after Santa Claus for labor laws and tax breaks? Maybe it is because the US just had it's big election, but I think this may be the strategy a few politicians - regardless of country or party affiliation.
Seriously, Calvin and Hobbes has got to go down in history as one of the greatest comic strips of all time. Do you agree? What others would you guys suggest?

I won't lie to you guys, I am not a huge fan of guns. Not that I mind if other people have them, I just know if I owned one I would be the guy who shot himself in the foot or something of that nature. These guns however, I would not mind owning. I mean just the mechanical genius it took to put these things together is incredible. Not to mention the gold, pearls, diamonds, and all that.
I couldn't find confirmation, but I am pretty sure it is Christoph Waltz narrating the segment, and he is freaking awesome. Aurel Bacs.

For those of you who don't know- that's Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard. No, the audio isn't dubbed, she is actually talking about a doomsday apocalypse. She warns about the Mayans being right, zombies, and K-Pop. Pretty scary stuff Gillard.
Why is she doing this? She believes in the "End of the World" of course! Quick note, the "End of the World" is the name of a radio show which is set to air today in Australia. The hosts of the show, Tom and Alex, somehow coaxed Gillard into promoting the show.
Oh man, you got my hopes up... ..I can't be the only one who guiltily wants a zombie apocalypse, right? I mean sure there is the risk of being eaten alive, but I think beating zombie brains in looks like fun!
