The latest Neatorama exclusive talks about large-scale experiments and research and the massive and complex equipment that they require. I’m pretty sure that you’ve already heard of most of them, like the Hubble Telescope, the International Space Station, or the US and USSR’s space race, that culminated in the Apollo…

Samus Aran has always been bad…, but now she’s not alone amongst Nintendo’s top tier ladies. In this rendering by Assim Heetun, Princess Zelda, Princess Peach, and Samus have gone over the edge. They haven’t gone wild… they’ve gone punk warrior!

By the power of (a) gray(?) skull… you can call your friends! Brando’s Thriller Skull Phone has flashing blue LEDs to complete it’s pseudo-scary theme. The handset is the middle third of the skull’s face, but it looks like you’ll have no problem picking it up because of the grooves…

You could, if you are so inclined, go spend a few bucks trying to fish a cheap plushie out of some half-assed crane machine… orrrrr you could jack a pair of giant robot arms, do a little creative programming, and go fishing for BMWs. I know which one I’d… pick.

You probably know by now that young Spartans proved their worth by being beaten up senseless and killing – or being killed by – comically large wolves. We modern men are not as barbaric; we’re content with having our babies ride cyclops-head strollers.
