Because I’m just so damn proud of what you Geekologie Readers can accomplish when you stop posting ‘FIRST!’ in the comments and actually put your mind to something, this is an awesome slow-motion video created by Geekologie loyalist Mike. Mike, you know I’m a sucker for destroying things! love geekologie, super loyal follower! wanted to send you links to an art video i just finished called Pink Terror. I shot it on a phantom camera at a very high speed rate, 1800 frames per second. And they say art is dead. Pfft, you showed them. Honestly, that was beautiful. And the Hawking dialogue was perfect. I’m just so proud. *sniff* Excuse me, I’m getting a little choked up. I’m serious — granola bar. Somebody kick me in the nads, STAT! Youtube and Vimeo Thanks to mike, for restoring my faith in Geekologie Readers.

This is an Google Maps aerial shot of the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG), AKA “The Boneyard”, a 2,6000 acre facility that serves as the final resting place for over 4,200 US aircraft (I’m gonna go steal a Warthog !). Located in Tucson, Arizona, on the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, the facility was first set up shortly after World War II. It was chosen for its high altitude and arid conditions, that mean the aircraft can be left outdoors without deteriorating too quickly. Officials at the base say that the parts reclaimed and aircraft withdrawn turns every tax dollar spent into 11 dollars in return. Sure this is where all the good planes go when they die, but where do all the bad planes go? *clearing throat* I feel a song coming on! Where do bad planes go when they die? They don’t go to the Boneyard where the planegels fly Go to a place of fire and fry Shoot those dirty bastards right outta the sky And into a f***ing volcano! PEW PEW, PEW PEW PEW!! Hit the Google Maps link to explore the Boneyard yourself. Google Maps via The Boneyard: World’s ‘biggest’ plane cemetery up close [bbcnews] Thanks to sham and Remy, who have both sat in decommissioned aircraft and made airplane noises. Fun! ” NEEEEEOOOOOOOWRRRR RATATATATATATAT! “

CodeOrgan is a website where you can enter any website’s URL , and, using a complicated algorithm , it turns the website’s code into ” music “. Obviously, Geekologie is the most beautiful website you will ever hear, but you can try it with any other one you want. And the songs will change as the “body” content of the website changes. So you can listen to a different Geekologie song tomorrow. They are all magical! Like Link’s ocarina songs, but this one won’t summon your horse. Unless that’s what you calling your girlfriend, in which case, she’s probably cheating on you with someone nicer. LIKE YOUR ROOMMATE. Seriously, I saw them together. Hit the jump for an explanation of how the program actually works and another link in case you missed the one in the text.

Honestly, I didn’t know what a stick- bomb was until I watched this video. Then I was disappointed, but only because I was hoping for explosives . Everything’s better with explosives . And I’m not just talking about birthdays! Kinetic artist Tim Fort used 2250 tongue depressors to build 562 of the little tension-loaded bombs, placing them in close proximity with each other and detonating a huge sequential maelstrom with a simple touch. That was enough to break the world record for a chain reaction of these xyloexplosive devices. Yes, it really is amazing to watch. And I love how guy yells “WOOHOO!” at the end. Because that’s the exact sort of thing I do after achieving a great feat. WOOHOO! Who’s a big kid now?! Youtube via 562 stick bombs explode in world record chain reaction [dvice]

These are some mock-ups of what Zelda themed Magic: The Gathering cards might look like, as created by ZeldaInformer forum member Subrosia. Unfortunately, they’re not real . Which is a shame because had they been I might have played for longer instead of giving up and clothes-pinning the cards to make noises in my bicycle spokes. Hit the jump for Ganon and the Master Sword.

I know, two hat posts in a row, what can I say — it must be your lucky day. Besides the one you met me. Which, you better not have washed your hand after we shook! But you said you wouldn’t. Anyway, the TV hat is a $20 hat that has a clear pocket you put your iPod in and little shades that come down on the sides so you can watch your iPod glare free and walk into poles and manholes and get robbed and stuff. Safe! Essentially a baseball hat with an extended visor, the TV hat has a pocket at the end of the lid for your portable player. One it’s inside, you pull down the black canvas material velcroed under the lid, creating blinders and blocking out the sun. Underneath the lid is a rectangular magnifying glass that flips down that supposedly “enhances” visibility. There are openings for your earphones, too. Wow, that sounds like something I absolutely, positively must have. Honestly, I’m bored of looking at the real world anyways. It’s all ugly people and old people and, sometimes, ugly old people. Bad combo right there. One time an old lady tried talking to me that had a beard and a hair growing out of her nose that was at least an inch long. Not out of the nostril either, the actual top of her nose . I puked in my mouth. I may be going to hell, but I puked in my mouth. Terrible commercial for the thing after the jump.

This is a picture depicting the Ninja Turtles as imagined by various famous artists . It’s pretty cute . That’s right, cute . I can call things cute because I’m secure enough in my masculinity to do that. Also, tape my penis between my buttcheeks and wear women’s underwear. It’s Pizza Time, Picasso! [poppedculture] Thanks to Thomas and canine-o’clock, who argue that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are , in fact, heroes in whole shells.

As many of you may know, I’m a rocket surgeon so reading this clock is like second nature to me. But for the rest of you, hopefully by now you’ve figured out what numbers typically go where . The Geek Clock runs $25 and would make a great addition to your cubicle, right next to the, ‘I Break For π ‘ bumper sticker. LOL! I swear, you’ve always had the best taste in bumper stickers. Hit the jump for an explanation of each number.
