This is a Batmobile you’ve not seen before

March 5, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This isn’t just a Batmobile you’ve not seen before. This is a Batmonster Truck. A machine of power if not, perhaps, grace. Is grace really necessary for crushing pesky cars, though? Via Geekologie.

The Hobbit’s Bag End as a bonsai tree

March 5, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It’s very clearly a micro version of Bag End, home of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, and based on Tolkien’s original words. “A large hill (The Hill) lay to the north, and under its southern slopes Bilbo’s father Bungo built the luxurious smial Bag End above the lane of […]

March 5, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment
