Awesome Awesome

While we wish this thing were the size of an actual airplane, this remote-controlled flying shark-plane is still pretty damned awesome. Head-mounted laser beam not included.

Ok, this is one of the coolest LEGO creations we’ve ever seen. It’s a brick-by-brick rendition of Han Solo’s famous frozen-in-carbonite scene from Empire Strikes Back. From the recent NYCC ’10.

Wouldn’t it be nice to live in a neighborhood where an awesome X-Wing fighter mailbox like this one wouldn’t be vandalized or flat out stolen by punks? For us urban dwellers, we’ll admire it from afar.

The fact that an artist named “Toastman” has been making giant artworks out of burnt toast for the last 10 years is awesome enough, but his latest, da Vinci’s classic, is a true masterpiece (of toast).

Hector Lopez‘ illustration combines three of our favorite things, sharks, giant dinosaurs, and robots. This thing needs to be made real, or at least turned into a movie on the SyFy channel.

What happens when you strap a waterproof digital camcorder to the back of a turtle? 2 minutes, 4 seconds of pure awesome, that’s what. And we thought turtles lived slow, boring lives.

Hold your breath for 4 minutes, and watch this unreal clip of freediver Gillaume Nery, as he jumps head first into Dean’s Blue Hole, the deepest blue hole on the planet. (Note: Fiction, but still cool).

Whoa. We can hardly believe it either. In just under 2 years, we’ve managed to fill the universe with 10,000 things. Since it takes two to tango, many thanks for actually reading what we post.
