This is a video of a praying mantis ( Idolomantis Diabolica — the Devil’s Flower Mantis) showing off his ninja-ing skills on some dude’s thumb . Honestly, I can’t even believe this thing exists in real life. Of course I said the same thing about Double-Stuffed Oreos , and yet there they are, soaking at the bottom of my milk glass. Hit the jump for the what you get when an insect LITERALLY pollinates a flower.

This is a Nokia viral ad for their N8 phone featuring the world’s largest stop-motion animation, which was made on a beach using a crane (that’s a real boat in the picture). It’s a follow-up to their world’s smallest stop-motion animation and NOT a follow up to the job interview I had on Monday, which probably isn’t coming (I called the dude a pecker and threatened to choke him out with a computer cord when he asked for references). ‘Gulp’ is a short film created by Sumo Science at Aardman, depicting a fisherman going about his daily catch. Shot on location at Pendine Beach in South Wales, every frame of this stop-motion animation was shot using a Nokia N8, with its 12 megapixel camera and Carl Zeiss optics. The film has broken a world record for the ‘largest stop-motion animation set’, with the largest scene stretching over 11,000 square feet. Damn, that thing has a 12-megapixel camera? What’s my iPhone have on it? “A shit-ton of pics of your balls?” Haha, you know it! Hit the jump for the video, as well as a ‘making-of’ if you’re curious.

Finally. God, I couldn’t even tell you how long I’ve been looking for a decent dino skeleton in a tiny bottle. I’m lying, I actually do know how long. It’s been like, the time between when I first got the tip in my inbox and clicked the link. So like, 30-minutes (I made a sandwich in between!). Etsy seller TinyWorldInABottle sells just that, tiny worlds in bottles (but not real ones like that cat that carried a universe around in its collar in Men in Black). Actually, they don’t actually sell worlds, they’re just little scenes. And speaking of little scenes: ACT 1 (Friday, 5:00PM — a disheveled plumper in a dirty kitchen with a bottle of bourbon) GEEKOLOGIE WRITER WOOP WOOP — Friiiiiiiiiiiday! I’mma drink till I pass out. (GW drinks till he passes out, possibly will vomiting to add a sort of ‘Is he gonna survive?’ twist ending) FIN Hit the jump for several closeups (they’d have to be otherwise you can’t see shit!) along with a bottle of seaturtles hatching and another with three dinos. Yow yow!

20 years ago, George Lucas was planning on settling down and focusing his efforts on making smaller, more personal movies. Then he was kidnapped, locked away , and replaced by the f***nugget responsible for those booboo prequels for almost 20 years, before finally escaping to exact his revenge. This is that story. Plus there’s a brief Princess Leia as a stripper scene. Which, I don’t know about you, but I found nowhere near as steamy as the Chewbacca as a mechanic scene . *waving oily rag over head like a helicopter* My God you reek in all the right ways! Let me blowtorch some of your nipple fur? Hit the jump for 3-minutes of hands down better than anything else he’s done in 20 years.

Seen here about to learn the hard way that kitty kisses are only for people who like the taste of cat ass, Data spends a tender moment with his cat Spot. And this is rap about Spot set to Dr. Dre’s ‘Forgot about Dre’, as edited by Dan Bull from a poem Data recites in the season six Next Generation episode, ‘Schisms’. I was so inspired I just wrote one about my dog Chloe, set to the very same rap. ? Hey Chlo-e, still the same ol’ d with no pedigree hated on by most of these purebreeds with no treats, no love, no fetch, no collar and no squeaks no walks, no park and a bunch of fleas mad at you cause you can finally afford to lay around & sleep ? Hit the jump for the video and a picture of Chloe cause she’s always wanted to be internet famous. I’ll get around to recording her version eventually.

Forget cat ears, I wanna know more about that hunk on the poster! This is a pair of mind-controlled cat ears designed by Neurowear. Basically, when you’re not concentrating (which is always for me), they lay down. When you focus, they perk up. If you try wrapping your head around how God could make me so handsome they catch fire and explode. Plus that gnarly vein in your forehead might pop. HOUSTON, WE HAVE A GUSHER. Hit the jump for two videos, one a commercial, the second a bunch of people (plus children!) at a trade show demoing the things.

Converse Japan is dropping two limited edition Chuck Taylors (black and white) to commemorate Mario’s 25th anniversary as a plumber (and a crooked one too — I think he stole the copper out of my walls!) No word on cost, but you know what they say: if you have to ask then there’s probably no price tag and the salesperson is gonna size you up and try to milk you for all you’re worth. Not from these golden teats you’re not! *lifting moob, trying to lick mipple* Super Mario Bros. 25th Anniversary Chuck Taylors. [albotas] Thanks to nathan, who claims he can dunk a basketball. Oh yeah? Well I could too if it weren’t for these sausage fingers!

Note: Click HERE for a full-size 7′ version of the chart in case you want to print it out and tape on a bedroom wall to make love to or whatever. A geeky father, excited about his daughter’s upcoming first birthday, decided to make her a geeky growth chart. This is her him standing by it. In case you can’t tell, it measures height in tribbles , Yoda , R2-D2 , Frodo, Princess Leia , a Dalek , Spock and Darth Vader . Me? I’m a solid Spock. With tribble balls. No — R2-D2’s. Geeky Dad — with another link to download a program that’ll split the poster into pieces you can easily print. Also, to donate a couple bucks to his daughter’s college fund for providing you with a free-of-charge growth chart. Thanks to Mary, who prefers a more metric system of measuring height.

This is a short fan-made Minecraft movie entitled ‘The Last Mindcart’ (not to be confused with ‘The Last of the Mohicans’). It follows the story of two miners trying to navigate a zombie apocalypse (not to be confused with two ranchers trying to navigate a homosexual relationship). Well go on — give it a watch . Or just a friendship bracelet, I don’t care. Or judge. But I DO play bailiff in the bedroom sometimes. *cuffing myself to the radiator* Help help the keys are in my butt. Hit the jump for the video.
