These awesome science and math inspired cutting boards can be found at Elysium Woodworks!
Cooking is just carefully-applied, delicious chemistry, so you might as well use as much science as possible when you’re in the kitchen!
I want the solar system one. That way anytime some smartass sees it and goes “You know Pluto isn’t a planet anymore” I will be sure to have a knife in my hand.
Elysium Woodworks's Etsy store is full of gorgeous, laser-etched, math- and science-themed cutting boards. They're about $35, made from bamboo, and take 5-6 weeks to fabricate.

Like the design of functional objects such as chairs or tables, it would seem new ideas for the humble door would be completely exhausted, and then along comes Austrian artist Klemens Torggler. This 4-panel entryway called the Evolution Door opens and closes in a surprisingly elegant way at the slightest touch, folding in on itself like pieces of paper. Torggler calls this system a “flip panel door” (Drehplattentür), and it’s almost more of a kinetic sculpture than functional door, but I would be happy to have one in every room of my house. And for those of you who envision a crushed finger or hands, he’s already solved that problem.
Currently the door is meant as a prototype, an extension of his artistic practice where Vienna-based Torggler has been creating similar kinetic doors for many years, several of which are available through Artelier Contemporary. (via hajohinta, nsfw)

You're sure to have...interesting dreams if you sleep in a room with this wallpaper, inspired by classic damask patterns. An elegant, leafy Cthulhu peers out from the walls, watching and waiting.

Ah, Cards Against Humanity. The best of games to play with your friends and the most uncomfortable of games to play with your family. (Christmas, two years ago. Mom and Dad, I am shocked.) And now, thanks to the comedy group Conventional Improv, there’s a Doctor Who version called Cards Against Gallifrey ready to be downloaded, printed, and added to your deck.
Hopefully unnecessary warning, but just in case: Behind the cut lies offensiveness.

Are these legit? They’re amazing.
Sunnyvale, CA-based artist Hoang Tran (previously featured here) continues to create so many awesome pop culture-based crayon sculptures that we can’t help but share some more. Last time we featured crayon sculptures of Adventure Time characters. Today we’re treated to carved and painted pieces from Doctor Who, Spirited away, Star Wars, Hellboy, The Sandman, and sweet little BMO (who was still a work in progress last time).
Visit Hoang’s Tumblr site, Wax Nostalgic, to check out many more crayon sculptures. He also has some available for purchase via his Etsy shop, CarvedCrayons.
