SDCC 12″ Enik Bank
Another item I could have gotten if I had went to SDCC . . . aargh. Funko apparently only made a few hundred of these, so E-Bay’s your best option now (which is where I got this image from someone selling it for a $30 Buy It Now price).
Insanity Is Repeating the Same Stupid Cliche Over and Over
One of the worst cliches is the claim, frequently though almost certainly incorrectly attributed to Albert Einstein, that “insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” This is, of course, false and trivially false at that.
Whenever I hear people say something along those lines, I wonder what they [...]
A Tardis Mame Console
OMG, this Tardis MAME console is the awes0me.
The Star Trek Express?!?

The official WordPress documentation, [...]
McSweeney’s on Steampunk
Marco Kaye has a hilarious imaginary letter over at McSweeney’s, Mom, Dad, I’m Into Steampunk:

DC Direct 1/6 Scale Sgt. Rock
IToyNews.Com has some nice shots of this 1/6th scale Sgt. Rock that DC Direct is showing off at SDCC. I’ve just recently started grabbing all of the 1/6th scale DC figures, though the increase in oil prices is starting to send the cost of these figures to the $125 range.
