Koen Hauser gave his subjects the anatomical treatment and his human models couldn’t look any creepier. Now it’s Barbie’s turn. In the eyes of many kids (mostly girls), she’s the perfect doll. She’s pretty, she’s sexy, and she’s got a hunky boyfriend named Ken.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are pretty fearsome, even if they are pizza-eating slobs who live in the sewers.  (Read: unwanted outcasts of society.)  Combine this level of fierce physical ability with the disciplined battle techniques of Jedi Knights, and what do you get?  

Love can make people do crazy things. It can also inspire, encourage, and push people to go out of their way to come up with something they can dedicate to the person they love.

If you have played Fallout: New Vegas, then you know ED-E. You might even have a special place in your video gaming heart for him.

When a car goes out of commission, it’s usually sent over to a junkyard. That’s a huge chunk of solid waste that requires a lot of energy before it can be recycled. A possible solution? Biodegradable cars.

If you can believe it, the first Johnny Depp movie I saw was Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas – and I’ve been a fan ever since. It was an unconventional take on the quest to find the American dream.

I love art that’s made out of old junk. Especially if they do something really clever. These Space Invaders mosaics made out of junk keyboards are very clever indeed. I wish I had one for my wall.

Physically-challenged people don’t need to miss out on all of life’s activities. With a little out-of-the-box thinking and ingenuity, anything is possible. Take Sue Austin for instance. She’s an artist in the UK and she is able to see the wonders of the ocean without ever leaving her wheelchair.

The Etch-a-Sketch reminds me of the days when I was a kid and didn’t have the day-to-day worries that I have right now (like how I’m going to find time to write two papers for this class I’m taking when I have to work for the most part of the day, among others.)

You all know Tim Burton as the only man on planet earth who can make an animated nine year-old child give a grown man nightmares.  (Yes, I’m talking about Frankenweenie.)  On an unrelated note, you probably also know a man named M.

I’m sure you’ve seen anatomical models of the different human systems when you took biology in high school. There’s the good, old skeletal system and of course, the muscular system.

In most offices, corkboards with announcements and notices tacked on using pushpins are uncommon. Perhaps this is where Kenyon Yeh got the inspiration for his Pushpin Cork table-slash-stool design.

Man, it would be so awesome if Timelord police drove around in these. This TARDIS Delorean, or CARDIS (or TarDeLorean) is the most awesome car I have ever laid eyes on. I don’t know if it is bigger on the inside, but I am confident the Doctor will have no problem picking up hot new companions in this beauty.

Chairs are more than just pieces of furniture. At times, they can also be random yet awesome pieces of artwork, like the Enginering Temporality chair by Design Academy graduate Tuomas Markunpoika Tolvanen.

Check out these awesome fighter jets made out of cigarette packs. They look pretty awesome. Who knew that the designs on cigarette packs would make such good looking fighter jets? Maverick this is Goose *cough cough*.

Like to eat and drink, then use your computer keyboard without washing your hands? Eventually, you end up with a sticky, dirty mess of a keyboard. Apparently, one office worker was sick and tired of seeing the grimy keyboard in their co-worker’s office, and did something about it.
