Most Halloween pumpkin carvings nowadays don’t even try to spook people anymore, instead presenting geeky or pop culture references. Then again, it’s not like the default jack-o’-lantern’s face is scary anyway.
Comedienne Megan MacKay knows how to spook today’s trick or treaters:
Nooooooooooooo

I’m not sure if Flickr member Zane_Houston intended to make a reference to Mechagodzilla, but that bad dude immediately came to mind when I saw Zane’s LEGO Mecha Charizard. Mega Evolution? Pfff. I think Mecha Evolution would be way better.
These images don’t do justice to Zane’s creation. You should head to his Flickr page to see Mecha Charizard in all his glory.

Artist Jason Freeny returns with his latest anatomical model – this one ruining childhoods for countless little girls. This model of Barbie has been splayed open so we can see all of her guts.
Given the fact that Barbie’s proportions are inhuman, I’m surprised he was able to cram all of her internal organs and skeletal structure inside her oddly-scaled body.
If you’d like to hang this freaky image on your wall, you can grab a print of it over at Jason’s shop.

So it might not be the best idea to make your little kids watch Rambo, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be able to dress like a commando. With the Crayon Bandolier, your youngun will be a young gun, toting around their colorful ammo.
Instead of bullets, this bandolier holds up to 24 crayons – for making art, not war. Perfect for members of the Crayola cartel, the Crayon Bandolier sells for $24.99(USD) over at ThinkGeek - including 24 crayons, including that oh so useful white one.
I’ve definitely seen some weird and impractical iPhone cases over the years, so why would I think this trend would ever end. For instance, did you know that if you’re in Japan, you can now dress up your iPhone 5 as a banana?
This wacky thing was spotted by Redditor cirethesquire while checking out the shops in Tokyo. Admit it – we’ve all picked up a banana at some point and pretended it was a phone, but this is ridiculous.

The headline pretty much says it all.
All I can say is thank God she’s got more than a sonic screwdriver.
Balloon Cthulhu was made by Tim Thurmond, aka The Balloon Sculptor. Check out the construction of this epic beast in the video clip below:

Artist and writer Josh Adams caused a mathemagical wave of retweets when he posted his fiancé’s Jake the Dog engagement ring. I hope it’s actually Jake.
Best of luck to you and your Lady Rainicorn Josh!

Fashionably Geek reader Kevin Pacheco had Konami’s transcendent cheat code tattooed on his arm.
Apparently the images of the buttons and directional pads are the same size as the ones on the NES controller.
I wonder what kind of cheat codes we’ll have in the future, when games run on virtual reality headsets and gesture-based controllers.

Galactic Empire wants to battle! Obi Wan Kenobi brings out Luke Skywalker! Artist TeoZ shows us what happens next! Why am I shouting?!

We’ve already seen an intricate cake that replicates Jupiter, but here’s a space-inspired cake that lands a little closer to home. This lunar landing cake needs to fly off of its orbit around Earth and crash land on my dinner table.
This Moon cake was made a couple of years ago by Deborah over at It’s a piece of cake for her son’s 10th birthday. Lucky kid. The cake does a great job simulating the cratered surface of the natural satellite, and has a couple of little astronauts there ready to plant the American flag and to collect some buttercream frosting samples. Unlike our actual moon, this one is filled with chocolate fudge cake with white chocolate chips. I consider that a major improvement over rock.
So much for my low carb diet. I’m running out to buy a cake tonight.
