We have another entry in the “I never knew this existed, but now I kinda want one” category.

Behold, the Horse Head Squirrel Feeder, which feeds your squirrels and forces them to cosplay whenever they eat.

If you buy more than one, you could have a stampede of horse headed squirrels nomming away on your lawn.

Okay…that’s kinda creepy.

When it came time to pop the question, Matthew Varas wanted to give his girlfriend (now fiancée) a ring that incorporated science. He worked closely with his jeweler to come up with the design you see pictured above. The ring is modeled after a DNA double helix and has 11 base pairs per twist. It’s got to be the fanciest DNA I’ve ever seen. As if that wasn’t nerdy enough, Matthew also recorded a message and had the jeweler cast the waveform of it into the band of the ring. It’s seriously beautiful.

Check out more pics of the ring after the break.

These are Ginkgo Acoustic Panels by Stone Designs which are a modular wall accessories designed to improve a room’s acoustics and spruce up the place. They come in all sorts of colors, but in this green and yellow combination they will turn your walls into dragons. I’d think this would be the perfect décor choice for Daenerys Targaryen.

It’s freezing and more or less miserable in several places across the globe right now. Snow’s been falling continually in my neck of the woods, but I’m trying to make the best of it. One way to brighten up the gray chill is by playing outside. A yard full of snow is like an empty canvas just waiting to be formed into sculptures, and characters from pop culture make perfect fodder. Check out our round-up of six geeky snow sculptures to get inspired!

FX is currently developing John Scalzi’s Redshirts as a limited event television series. Feature producer Jon Shestack (Dan In Real Life), producer-director Ken Kwapis (Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants) and his partner Alexandra Beattie are working on developing the series with Kwapis set to direct the first episode. The 2013 Hugo Award winning novel follows the adventures of five new recruits assigned to the same ship in the Universal Union fleet:

Ensign Andrew Dahl has just been assigned to the Universal Union Capital Ship Intrepid, flagship of the Universal Union since the year 2456. It’s a prestige posting, with the chance to serve on “Away Missions” alongside the starship’s famous senior officers.

Life couldn’t be better…until Andrew begins to realize that 1) every Away Mission involves a lethal confrontation with alien forces, 2) the ship’s senior officers always survive these confrontations, and 3) sadly, at least one low-ranking crew member is invariably killed. Unsurprisingly, the savvier crew members belowdecks avoid Away Missions at all costs.

Then Andrew stumbles on information that transforms his and his colleagues’ understanding of what the starship Intrepid really is…and offers them a crazy, high-risk chance to save their own lives.

A search is currently underway to find writers to adapt the novel for the small screen.

When you spend part of every day commuting, it can get boring. October Jones, of Text from Dog fame, spent some of his time on trains in late 2012-early 2013 drawing new and cartoon-y heads for his fellow passengers. It looks like he based the heads on the commuter’s outfit. The person dressed in red (pictured above) became Spidey, and others got Batman, Hellboy, or Waldo heads. Though it’s not exactly subtle – you might get caught taking the picture – it’s a fun enough idea that people probably won’t mind.

Check out more of the illustrated heads after the break.

This pair of Nike Air Force sneakers has been custom painted by Sekur D. It’s designed to look like Donatello from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. There are purple accents just like his mask and if you check out the Nike Swoosh you’ll notice it looks a lot like his Bo Staff.

If you spotted someone sporting a backpack like the one pictured above, you’d give them instant respect. It’s one of the most badass bag designs I’ve seen because dragon! Having a dragon on your back is so much worse than a monkey. The wicked leather design is by the Bob Basset workshop. The sad news is that the backpack was made in 2009, and you can’t buy one. You could try to take it Targaryen-style though – with fire and blood.

Check out more angles of the backpack after the break.

Game of Thrones-inspired Nail Polish

Batman Corset Hoodie

Presenting the gift of a hoodie on a romantic occasion may not make sense, but this corset Batman design isn’t your average sweatshirt. It looks sexy and comfy – that makes it a winner! $69.99 – Vampire Freaks

“I Love You, I Know” Necklace and T-Shirt

Lady of the Lake Crown

Go way outside the box and gift your companion something unique and gorgeous: a crown. The fancy accessory can be worn with cocktail dresses or pajamas; it’s that awesome. Prices Vary – Elemental Child

R2-KT Wristlet Clutch

There’s no such thing as too many bags, especially when the bags look like astromechs. This R2-KT bag is lightweight and the ideal size for a small wallet, keys, and a phone. As you can see, you could opt for the R2-D2 print if pink isn’t your color. $16 – The Bag Depot

Batarangs. Grapple Gun. Thermite Grenades. Kryptonite ring…

Honestly, Batman’s utility belt had pretty much everything on board. But do you know what it didn’t have? Diapers.

Nope, Batman never had to face the prospect of having to change a dirty diaper. But new parents/Batman fans will have to change more than few, which is why they should carry a steady supply of diapers in this cool Batman Diaper “Utility” Bag. Yep! I smell justice.

You don’t need to sprinkle fairy dust on your toes to make your feet more magical, you just need to buy heels adorned with a fantastical creature. These striking unicorn heels are part of Irregular Choice’s upcoming spring/summer 2014 release. They’re rather dazzling. I love that they are both covered in sparkly gold stars and also have unicorn heads instead of pointy heels. Please note the unicorn’s horn is also gold and shiny.

Note: no actual unicorns were harmed in the production of these shoes… as far as we know.

If decorating the entire nursery in geek themed everything isn’t for you, consider adding a small touch with an adorable and nerdy mobile. The item seems to be a staple in decor for a baby’s room, and it’s the perfect place to start showing your children the characters you like – it’s totally not brainwashing. Etsy seller Drops of Color has just the solution for you; they make mobiles by hand with teeny tiny felt plush characters. Just look at how cute the Super Mario Bros. one is – even the Goomba!

Each mobile comes with five characters, and you can pick them! Princess Peach, Luigi, Yoshi – how will you choose? After you’ve made your selections, the mobile is made to order and takes about 8-10 weeks to arrive at your doorstep.

Super Mario Bros. isn’t the only geeky option either. Check out Star Wars and superhero mobiles after the break.

The internet is full of treasures, and this painting is a shining example. It’s Spock riding a freaking winged unicorn in a rainbow-streaked sky! Artist Tim O’Brien created this epic piece for Men’s Health magazine of all places. I’m baffled as to what the topic of the accompanying article could be, but I’m going to assume it’s magical and about how you can lose weight by riding unicorns while wearing a Starfleet uniform.

I have a new hero. She’s 7-years old and her name is Charlotte Benjamin.

Charlotte wrote a letter to the LEGO company on January 25th and took them to task for the disparity between LEGO sets for boys and sets for girls and noted that, while the girls sit at home, the boys get to go off and have adventures — and she’s not okay with that in the least.

Like I said, my hero.

Check out the text of the letter after the break.

Dear Lego company:

My name is Charlotte. I am 7 years old and I love legos but I don’t like that there are more Lego boy people and barely any Lego girls.

Today I went to a store and saw legos in two sections the girls pink and the boys blue. All the girls did was sit at home, go to the beach, and shop, and they had no jobs but the boys went on adventures, worked, saved people, and had jobs, even swam with sharks.

I want you to make more Lego girl people and let them go on adventures and have fun ok!?!
Thank you.

From Charlotte.

You know that scene in Return of the Jedi when Leia tells Han that Luke is her brother? Han gets this look like he’s just had an epiphany. Though I’ve seen the film several times and seen that look around the internet in animated gif form, I never thought about him flashing back and remembering the time Luke and Leia kissed in front of him. Now that I’ve seen this video titled “Incestual Realization of Han Solo,” I won’t be able to think of it any other way. It’s just too perfect.

Watch the hilarious video after the break.

It’s lovely to look at the sky at night and try to spot and name different constellations, but what if you still want to see them during the day? ThinkGeek has a solution: wear Ursa Major and Ursa Minor earrings all day. The sterling silver climbing earrings feature sparkling white topaz chips as the stars and depict the Big and Little Dippers. Yep, these are going right onto my wishlist.

What if superheroes were just hipsters hanging out in the local bar or in the school lounge? Artist Phillip Sevy imagined the X-Men and the members of the Bat Family in such situations. He took great care to give them the right outfits and accessories. Lots of them are wearing berets, Professor X appears to have ear plugs, and there are so many scarves. Be sure to check out all the background details in both images.
