Cardboard Millennium Falcon

Liam’s amazing parents spent 3 months building him his very own cardboard Millennium Falcon. I just want to say right now that I’m ready to enter my second childhood and I will gladly pay these people to be my parents. Just so we are clear, this kid is 9 months old. They spent a third of his life building him a Millennium Falcon so he can have the Kessel runs in his diapers in record time.” w/ photos

The Horror Portfolio

“Sixty-four horror movies in a five-minute montage; the perfect project to work on until 2 a.m. and then return to an empty, dark, cold apartment. The last few nights have had some really, *really* twisted dreams.” — hatinhand

Darth Vader Table Lamp

It’s made by artist Zairy Zin, using selective laser sintering 3D printing tech, and is a detailed version of Vader’s trademark helmet – other than the thousands of tiny holes in it to let the light shine through. The lamp is designed to go on a table, and the Sith Lord’s helmet measures about 5.12″ across. This means it’s more of an accent lamp than something you’d expect to light up an entire room with, but it’s not like I ever expected anything light to come out of Vader’s evil mask anyhow.” w/ photos

Elephant Plays The Harmonica

“When the elephant keepers at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo hear the sound of a harmonica, it’s not the radio they’ve left on. Instead, it’s the Zoo’s 36-year-old Asian elephant, Shanthi, who, unsolicited, has a propensity for coming up with her own ditties using whatever instruments the keepers have provided. These include harmonicas, horns and other noisemakers. The Zoo has captured some of Shanthi’s most recent capriccios on this video.” — SmithsonianNZP
