Stormtrooper Necklace: The Empire Strikes Neck
These laser-cut Stormtrooper necklaces will look pretty badass hanging around your neck. Support the galaxy’s Imperial police force by wearing one today.
The charms are cut from 1/8″-thick wood or acrylic and measure 1-1/2 inches wide and 1-3/4 inches tall. Each Stormtrooper comes on a 18,23 or 31 inch chain with a clasp and you can find them in Etsy seller Unpossiblecuts shop for just $19.95(USD).
This is probably the kind of thing that Stormtroopers wear on their days off so they can all identify each other with no armor. “Hey. Aren’t you TK-421?” “Nah. TK-425. That guy and TK-422 are still suspended because of the whole ‘letting people steal their armor’ incident’ on the Death Star.”

Self-assembling Moon House Could be the First Structure on the Moon’s surface
If Humans are ever to spend more than a few days on the surface of the moon or other planet, they will need some sort of shelter. An entrepreneur from Sweden has created a crowdfunding initiative to build what he says could be the first structure on the moon’s surface. The house is 75% engineered to spec right now and is made from a thin specially developed space cloth.
That special space cloth will be stretched over a carbon frame and then the house will be filled up with gas. The structure is painted to look like a little red cottage with white windows. The goal is to send the self-assembling structure into space on the Falcon 9 mission in October 2015.
The funding project claims that every $1 donated will get the shelter 25 meters closer to the moon. The artist designed the structure in hopes of making it a symbol accessible to all people interested in space and technology.

Batman and Captain Picard Fight Aliens: Prometheus: First Contact Rises
The team-up you never thought you would ever see has happened. Batman and Captain Picard fighting Aliens in a cave. This is the best piece of nerd art that you will see all day.
Picard has his phaser, Batman his batarang, and the aliens are closing in. A few questions though. Why can’t Jean-Luc just beam out of there? How did the two of them get together? Did the Enterprise crew travel through time, or a rip in space? Does this make Picard Robin? If so, why isn’t he wearing his tights? Mostly I want to know how this ends!
This amazing piece of art from Jimsmash is simply the best.
