Take a close look at this pig’s forehead and imagine an ancient Jedi Master. Yep, Yoda’s face is right there plain as day. It reminds me of that scene from Harry Potter and the Sorceror’s Stone when you learn Voldemort has been living under Quirell’s hat… I digress. The porker belongs to Redditor skippuy’s friend, and I’m guessing it has strong Force abilities. I will not hazard a guess as to where it keeps a lightsaber.

Man of Steel hits theaters tomorrow, and Mondo has some snazzy new posters to mark Superman’s return to the big screen. They have two designs available in two variants. And yes, both are ridiculously limited and will probably sell out in about a second. If you really want one, just check eBay later.
The above poster featuring a young Clark Kent is by Ken Taylor. The image after the break is by Martin Ansin and is evocative and stunning and about a million other positive adjectives. Make sure to click the images to enlarge.
When you have room in your heart for more than one fandom, you just want to share it all. Jordan and Wendy did just that on their Save the Date postcard for their wedding. Jordan wanted to create something unique so he created a comic with a Dalek bride, and R2-D2 groom, and a WALL-E baby. It’s a happy robotic family!

Dogs sure seem to love sticking their heads out of car windows. Something about fresh air blowing back ears, nostrils, and lips must be immensely satisfying. Now imagine how happy your pup would be if you could go really fast – like, warp speed fast. Illustrator Benjamin Grelle thinks they’d love it. He took photos of dogs and inserted them in space. He told Complex:
As multiple dogs have their hair flying back and lips forced open by the wind, they seem like they are warping through multiple dimensions as streaks and swirls of color are added to the backdrop. Although we may never know, it is possible that the dogs actually do have this kind of experience. As their thoughts, vision, and other senses are stimulated by the speed of a car, they may experience an individual journey through time and space.
Hey, crazier things are possible.
Check out more dogs loving life and space after the break.
Are you ready to jumpstart your engine with a cheat code? This car has all the power, and you can run it with a NES controller. Redditor mobuco shared this picture of a Honda Civic B series engine updated with a little NES style. I hope it makes 8-bit Nintendo noises.

The huge range of names in the Harry Potter universe make the world perfectly suited for an alphabet! Artist Samantha Esther not only picked perfect subjects for A to Z, she also paired them with amusing one liners that describe the characters. Dobby is free and fabulous, and Albus does having a stunning beard. You must check out the illustration for Neville though – the description on that one is the best.

Kristian Nairn may well be the actor who is the most famous for saying a single word: Hodor! The actor plays the role of the gentle giant who totes Bran Stark around in Game of Thrones. When he’s not Hodoring in Westeros though, Nairn is busy being a fantastic DJ. He’s well known in Ireland for getting people to get down on the dance floor. I certainly hope he’s working on a Hodor remix-dance song.

If you are a fan of A Song of Ice and Fire, chances are you can’t get enough of house sigil redesigns. I’ve seen the Stark banner tons of different ways, and I still come across fresh interpretations. These German designs by Kevin Hatch are as creative and majestic as it gets. The dragons aren’t just for the Targaryens anymore!
Be sure to click to enlarge these designs. They would be great as wallpaper.

Helen Mirren is an incredibly talented actress; she shines in all sorts of roles – from royalty to assassin. She could definitely take on the role of the next Doctor. That is, if they’d let the part go to a woman. She’s expressed interested in the role before and she recently told Yahoo she’d like to see any lady in the role. They told her one bookie was putting 25-1 odds on her landing the part:
“Oh, please — I would put much longer odds on it than that,” she scoffed.
“But I think it’s absolutely time for a female Doctor Who. I’m so sick of that man with his girl sidekick. I could name at least 10 wonderful British actresses who would absolutely kill in that role.”
I completely agree. It’s time for a change. Though I’ve adored each of the new series’ Doctors for various reasons, they’re just getting younger and younger and staying male. BBC needs to do something different and a role reversal with a female Doctor and male companion would do just the trick. Even better if Helen Mirren is involved.
However, The Telegraph is reporting that Rory Kinnear has already been offered the part. There have been reports to the contrary since that article was published, but if it turns out to be true than we can expect more of the same from the next Doctor.
There’s always money in the banana stand, and the best possible use of the stash is to place bets on Bluthfighter! The Arrested Development fighting game parody pits G.O.B. against Tobias (covered in blue of course), and it’s ridiculously clever. It incorporates a plethora of inside jokes and did you read the part where Tobias fights G.O.B.? I’d like this to turn into a real game, please.
Check out the video after the break and prepare to laugh.
