This is a president Barack Obama action figure. Or, if you want to get technical, a "1/6 Scale Truetype Body - African American Advanced TTM-15". OMG, I THINK HE'S A TERMINATOR. Kidding, that's the governor model. *zing!* Granted we've already seen an Obama action figure before, but apparently this is the $43 advanced model. Not unlike myself. It's true, God broke the mold after me. Also, fired all the elves responsible. You'll never work at the North Pole again! Product Site Thanks to rox and jimmy jazz, who used to switch the heads and torsos on all their G.I. Joes. That's cool, I used to douse mine in hair spray and set them on fire in the bathroom.

It is curiously appropriate that this Pac-Man cutting board is made in the tough, end-grain style. These boards are fashioned from wooden strips glued together with their grain running parallel, and the board itself is a cross-section cut from this master block.
This gives a great pixellated 8-bit style to the picture of Pac-Man, Blinky (or Clyde) and the power-pill in between them. End-grain boards are also self healing (like Pac-Man, kinda) as your knife doesn't cut the wood fibers but gently pushes them aside with every stroke, like the bristles of a brush. This keeps your knife sharper, longer – not really Pac-Man related, but still cool.
These particular boards are made by Etsy seller 1337motif, and are built from blocks of "walnut, hard-maple, and cherry put together with FDA approved, water-proof glue, and treated with a mixture of mineral oil and beeswax." An a-maze-ing rendering of the cutting-edge 1980 arcade game. Waka-waka-waka! $165.

As the personal army of Emperor Palpatine, Stromtroopers have plenty on their plates: attacking Jedi generals, keeping the Death Star secure, and wearing white, functionally ineffective armor. But even the most devoted soldiers can't be on duty twentyfour hours a day.
So, Stefan took on a year long project: StormTroopers365, which catalogs all the things a Stormtrooper might do in a year, one photo a day. The project began in April 2009, and the final photo posted on April 4, 2010.
Germany's Alexa makes a Boobquake in a man's pants.
Boobquake day is today. On this day, all women should dress immodestly or in whatever they consider immodest. That means tight, low-cut tops, in my book.
In case you didn't read the news about Boobquake, here's the deal. Two weeks ago, Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said a quake is certain to hit Tehran and that many of its 12-million inhabitants should relocate. Then last week, an Iranian cleric in Tehran, Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi, announced that, "Many women who do not dress modestly lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which increases earthquakes. What can we do to avoid being buried under the rubble? There is no other solution but to take refuge in religion and to adapt our lives to Islam's moral codes." Then the Minister of Welfare and Social Security Sadeq Mahsooli threw his two cents in and said, "We cannot invent a system that prevents earthquakes, but God has created this system and that is to avoid sins, to pray, to seek forgiveness, pay alms and self-sacrifice."
After reading these declarations, Purdue University student Jennifer McCreight felt the Iranians' beliefs should be held accountable to some scientific testing and is calling for women to dress "immodestly" for one day. The idea is to see if dressing "immodestly" (in whatever each woman herself personally considers immodestly) will cause any major seismic activity today. (Seismologists have been saying for years that Tehran is over many fault lines, although a major quake has not hit since 1830. Iran is one of the world's most earthquake-prone countries.) McCreight is calling her one-day event "Boobquake." Using Facebook and Twitter, she got several hundred-thousand women committed to the Boobquake event.
"If I would have seriously addressed Sedeghi, I probably would have never gotten a response, but light-hearted mockery could be a good tactic," Jennifer writes. "To be honest, it started as a silly joke that I hurriedly fired off since I was about to miss the beginning of House. I never thought it would get the attention it did."
Boobquake T-shirts with the phrase "Who says science has to be boring?" and "I survived Boobquake 2010″ can be bought on a T-shirt site called Zazzle. The profits go to charity. Now, if a big earthquake does hit Tehran today, I hope Jennifer doesn't get hit with the repair bills.
I personally urge all women in every country of the world to wear tight tank tops over push-up demi-bras today. Please, no black. It hides the curvature. But, hey, that's my personal preference. Wear what you want as long as it's immodest.
Boobquake should be held every day.
Thank you, Jennifer.
