Fan-Made TMNT Party Wagon or "Cowabunga, Dude! Roadtrip!"

College student/major Ninja Turtle fangirl Brittney Schneck built this awesome tribute to the 'Heroes on a Half-Shell' (Turtle Power) signature ride out of a '94 Dodge Caravan.

She worked at two jobs (grocery store cashier and in her dad's auto detailing shop) to pay for everything in and on this ride. ON TOP of paying for her college studies and the van's insurance

She hand-crafted all the various gun-ports, radar dish, and other sundry body parts to make sure the minivan looked the same as the classic 'Party Wagon' toy.

Is this not awesome? Is this not the coolest thing ever? I certainly think so.

Geeky Fashion Statement or "On Your Hands Too Much Time You Have"

I love it when someone demonstrates their love of all things geeky in such a way. Pictured here is 'mamaedgar', a member of Craftster, a arts & crafts website. She is modelling a knitted Yoda hat she made for her Star Wars loving four year old son. I have to say this is 'awesome!

You know your mom loves you when she goes out of her way to make something like this for you. I should know. My mom made a 'Sword of Power' and matching shield for my Halloween 'He-Man' costume when I was 5 years old.

Video of the Day: Crazy Kids and Their Stunts

After seeing some of the insane acrobatics in this video, I've come to the conclusion that it is entirely possible for comic book heroes like Nightwing or Daredevil could actually exist.

NBA Bans 'Tricked' Out Sneakers or "You Can't Be Like Mike"

For the second time ever, the NBA has banned players from using a particular brand of sneaker.

However, to get a perspective on this decision, you'd have to travel back to 1985 and the debut of Michael Jordan and his namesake foot gear, the Air Jordans. See, the NBA at the time had a strict dress code when it came to sneakers: all-white coloring, NO exceptions. So whenever MJ (Jordan, not Jackson) strode onto the court  wearing these black and red Nikes, he got slapped with a $5,000 fine. EVERY time. And Nike paid his fines, EVERY time.

So, the decision to ban use of the Athletic Propulsion Lab Concept 1 (APLC1), which contains a spring-based system that adds 3 inches to your vertical leap, is not unprecedented. Like any other sports organization, the NBA has a specific ruling that forbids such game-enhancing gear from being used.

Which means, if you want to play in the NBA and your jump shot sucks, you're screwed. Unless you sell a lot of shoes. In which case, Nike will pay all your bills.

Lamborghini Makes Tractors or "Ever Wanted To Plow The Back 40 ...Doing 180 MPH?"

Lamborghini is making tractors.

 Let that sink in for a moment.

Lamborghini, the Italian auto maker responsible for one of the fastest production cars on the planet, is into making farm machinery. Well, they have actually been making tractors and the like for awhile now.

But seriously, 'tractors'? I guess their product runs way faster than a Deere.

Video of the Day: The Day That MTV Died!

This is it. At the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards, Kid Rock performed on stage with two legendary groups: Run DMC and Aerosmith. I firmly believe that this was the precise moment that MTV began to suck.

Either that or when they started production on "Real World/Road Rules Challenge". Either or.
