I told myself a while ago I wouldn’t post any Awkward (NSFW) Family Photos but, like everything I tell myself, it turned out to be a lie. Depressing , I know. It’s like the time I promised myself I’d stop being the world’s greatest lover , and now look at me — still going strong. I can’t quit you, me! Do that thing where you sit on your hand till it’s numb. The Final Frontier [awkwardfamilyphotos] Thanks to Joel, whose family used to take Gilligan’s Island themed photos. ZOMG, please tell me you were Thurston Howard III!

This is a picture of part of a Star Wars invasion of Dubai taken by photographer Cédric Delsaux and CG-ified by Pierrick Gueneugue. I posted a couple more after the jump but you really need to go the website and see them all in high-res for full appreciation. And speaking of appreciation: did you know today is Love A Blogger Day? It is, I just invented it. Suck it, Hallmark, you don’t have shit on my holiday inventing skills! Pfft, Grandparents’ day, don’t make me laugh. Hit the jump for a couple more and another link to the whole gallery.

Don’t even act like you wouldn’t swim in that creek. You’d probably even contemplate drowning on purpose AND I DON’T BLAME YOU. It’s certainly not the worst way to go . Not the best either, but not the worst. These aren’t paintings but true photos! Also everything you can see in the photograph is made of real food! Pictures were photographed by Carl Warner, a photographer who works in London, and who made specialty of these food landscapes or how I like to call them - ‘foodscapes’. In recent years he has been commissioned by many advertising agencies throughout Europe to produce his distinctive images for clients in the food industry. OMG if you don’t think I would eat my way all the way to the Dough Mountains, you have another thing coming. Namely, my projectile vomit. BLAAAAAARRRGH!! Sorry about that. BLAAAAAAHH! Oh, wasn’t finished. Hit the jump for a couple more and a making-of shot.

This is a Polaroid camera made out of LEGO. It’s cute. If you point and clicked it at an aborigine, it would steal their soul. And I would buy that soul from you to complete my soul necklace . Then I would use the combined power of said necklace and custom f***-up boots to destroy Jacob AND Esau from LOST. Then the island would be mine and I would throw a luau, where we will roast a polar bear. Am I a genius or what? Dharma-beer me! Lego Polaroid Camera Can’t Possibly Be More Cute and Lovely [gizmodo]

This is a little gallery of superheroes in not-so-super situations brought to us by Super Not So Super . For example, this is Batman reading the foreclosure notice on his mansion/batcave. Also, his costume looks like shit. You know, I was so inspired by these superheroes doing ordinary-folk things that I decided to post a picture of myself picking up after my dog. You know, so you could see I’m just a regular guy like you. Unfortunately, neither the butler nor the maid could figure out which setting on the camera to use to best capture my BURNING LASER VISION. But don’t worry, next time I’ll get the gimp to do it. Hit the jump for several more, including Catwoman and The Flash.

This is a camera designed at the Nagoya Institute of Technology in Japan that features 158 individual lenses . Why so many? To take 3-D pictures of a candle flame. And here I was thinking they were gonna use it to look up girls’ skirts. Which, you know they are! Japan, Japan, Japan, what am I gonna do with you? Record-breaking camera has 158 lenses [dvice] Thanks to Carl, who doesn’t need a camera to look up skirts because he has a bicycle mirror taped to his shoe.

This is a little gallery of nativity scenes with characters and situations I don’t remember reading in the bible. But maybe that’s because I read the King James version and IT WAS EDITED. You know that song , ‘We Three Kings’? It was originally written, ‘We Three Kings and Our Dinosaurs. All the images are available as 5×7 photographic prints and make perfect Christmas cards. And you know what else do? Valentines with all the words crossed out. THESE ARE HARD TIMES. Hit the jump for four more and the link to even more.

But why? Is the actress playing a game of fetch with herself? Does she have plans to club the paparazzi with it? Who knows, but we spotted Ms. Dunst filming in Lancaster (which is kinda out in the boonies…

This is a 648 megapixel composite (higher-res version HERE ) of the Milky Way created by physicist (and all around badass) Axel Mellinger. Good lookin’, Axel. Physicist Axel Mellinger spent nearly two years traveling 26,000 miles across South Africa, Texas and Michigan. What does he have to show for it? Well, he’s cobbled together a stunning 648 megapixel panorama of the Milky Way as seen from Earth, using 3,000 individual photographs. The Central Michigan University professor wants to make the image available for planetariums, as it’s large enough to serve educational purposes. It even shows stars that are 1,000 times too faint to be seen by the human eye, so this is a Milky Way like you’ve never seen. That IS a Milky Way like I’ve never seen. Get it? BECAUSE THERE’S NO CHOCOLATE OR NOUGAT LIKE THE CANDY BAR! Yep *cracking knuckles* I can already tell today’s gonna be a good day. Photo: stunning 648 megapixel image of the Milky Way [dvice] Thanks to Closet Nerd, who sends enough tips to be out already.
