Video: Jim Henson vs Stan Lee



We don’t always go in for Epic Rap Battles of History, but this kerfuffle between Stan Lee and Jim Henson takes such a weird dystopian turn, we just had to share it.

Forget headshots.  The real fun is getting vintage Star Wars Topps cards autographed because Mark Hamill gets wonderfully snarky in signing them.

Autograph authenticator Steve Grad has a collection of 100s of Star Wars cards signed by the original cast, and he’s posted a gallery on FB, with more to come. But I think this one by Mark Hamill may be the best one of all.

Sweets: Tauntaun Cookies



Thanks to food writer Jenn Fujikawa, you can now create your own piping hot Tauntaun cookies to keep you warm on those cold Hoth nights.  They're just sugar cookies with a drop of black food coloring added to make the dough grey filled with delicious gummy worm entrails.


Sculpture: Mechanical Articulated Cheetah



Artist Andrew Chase works with painstaking detail to create his remarkable sculptures. Each one takes him between 80 and 120 hours to complete, and they can be adjusted into different positions, thanks to a set of articulated joints.  This cheetah sculpture was sculpted from electrical insulation fittings, parts of a car transmission, and another 20 pieces of steel. Surprisingly, it only weights about 40 pounds!


Sculpture: Mechanical Articulated Wolf



This mechanical metal wolf was created from used transmission parts, twenty gauge sheet steel, ¼ inch rod, recycled pipe and tube, and two cats eye marbles.  Plus, it would look great sitting next to my front door.  FYI


Crafts: Millennium Falcon Cockpit


Via: Make

Do you ever find yourself jealous of someone else's childhood?  Cuz that's what I'm experiencing right now.  This stupendous Millennium Falcon Cockpit Playhouse is the work of Instructables contributor and super awesome dad Kyle Gilbert, who built it for his two Star Wars-loving kids.
"My kids love Star Wars, and pretty much every day they end up walking around the house with blasters and lightsabers as they fight off the bad guys. Since I was ready for a new project and because the new Star Wars movie is getting closer every day, I decided it would be fun to build the kids a Millennium Falcon Playhouse."
Gilbert built this geektastic playhouse over the course of ten days. It’s made of PVC board, MDF, glue, bondo, paint, and a variety of cleverly repurposed odds and ends for the dashboard.

Visit the Millennium Falcon Cockpit Playhouse Instructables page to learn exactly how this little bucket of bolts was made.
