Star Wars Movie Poster Mash-Ups [Picture Gallery]
What do you get when you add Star Wars to any movie, cartoon, or TV series/sitcom? Some interesting Photoshopped mash-ups, where Yoda is a high-school show choir singer and Darth Vader really enjoys blowing up hospitals in Gotham City.

Wake Up in the Morning Feelin’ Like Stormageddon [Video]
A Doctor Who version of Ke$ha’s Tik Tok, but minus Ke$ha. (Can we stop using the $ now? Please??) Speakerwiggin does a decent enough job here, and though he falls a little short of on-key in the chorus, it’s fun if you’re a Whovian. If you want the lyrics, you can find ’em here. Enjoy! Warning: […]

Incredible Night Sky Time-Lapse [Video]
Let’s end the week on a calming note. This time-lapse of the night sky is simply gorgeous, and guaranteed to fill you with at least a little wonder and awe for the universe. I recommend clicking the fullscreen button and turning up the volume. Something tells me Sagan would’ve watched it that way. You can […]
