Made entirely from Japanese Famicom (Nintendo) cartridges, this magnificent nerd throne stands seven feet tall. How many of these chairs would it take to fill a flash drive?

If you can’t sing but can play an instrument really well then you might consider doing what SingStar does and sticking your instrument of choice up in front of the mic and letting rip. The RockBand score comes from the pitch, tone and timing of the “voice” not from the actual words, so if you are able to produce those then you should be able to pull off a good score, which in her case was 98%.

If you can’t play, you could just try humming. [Kotaku]

Flickr user Stormtroopers 365 has been releasing a single shot of a stormtrooper scene for every day of the year, and he has some good ones. If you have twenty or thirty minutes to kill, head over to Flickr to be amused.

This dead tauntaun wedding cake looks revolting in the best possible way. It is beautifully designed and despite the the rotten subject matter, it looks like it would taste pretty good.

Those guilty of emaciating their bodies by whiling away months of life in World of Warcraft are probably going to have a little trouble with the heft of this 4 lb tankard, especially if it is filled to its two-liter capacity (which will add another 4.5lbs to the overall weight).

Price: About $50 (available from January 2010) [Nerd Approved]
