The first thing you'll see tomorrow night when you tune in to Cosmos won't be Carl Sagan, or even Neil deGrasse Tyson. It'll be President Obama, kicking off the series premiere with a statement that "invites a new generation to embrace the spirit of discovery and inspires viewers to explore new frontiers and imagine limitless possibilities for the future."

Not so, says science—in fact, it's the controversial-looking people, not the smokin' specimens, who get the most attention. Here's Head Squeeze's Hannah Fry to explain.

Behold the New 3,296-piece Lego Star Wars Sandcrawler!
Mar 08, 6:40AM
This is definitely the Lego Star Wars Sandcrawler I was looking for. It's not as massive as the fan built vehicle that every Lego and Star Wars nerd in the world wanted, but with all its moving mechanism and seven minifigs, it's a must have. Its character and construction seems well resolved. Check out the pictures and the video, because it's really cool.

What if Game of Thrones characters couldn't remember other characters?
Mar 08, 6:30AM
Game of Thrones is a complicated show with a never ending cast of characters and families and sigils and bannermen and animals and politics and power and maps and magic and breasts that it's sometimes hard to keep up with who is fighting who and for what. This hilarious parody of Game of Thrones by Cracked imagines the show's characters getting confused at all the little details in the war and losing track of what is who. It's great.

Mar 08, 4:11AM
There's already a lot of responsibilities in being a parent. You gotta make sure your kids are fed. Make sure they bathe. Make sure they're safe. And make sure they don't become a menace to society. There's only one requirement in becoming an awesome parent though and it's this: build your kids an awesome Batpod motorcycle they can ride around.

This super nifty one armed robot is better at ping pong than you
Mar 08, 1:40AM
It's no Forrest Gump but this moving one armed robot is plenty good at ping pong. And may be even better than you. Watch it extend its arm to cover ground, cycle through backhand and forehand shots and hit the ball so effortlessly that it seems like an invisible human is controlling it.

I don't recall Indiana Jones IV being so damn terrible (but it is)
Mar 08, 1:21AM
I think we can all agree that Indiana Jones and The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull is the very worst of the Indy movies, but I don't recall it being as bad as this Everything wrong with... episode shows. No, wait, I do now. I just think seeing Indy getting married at the end was so traumatic that it nuked every single terrible scene and line in this film out of my brain.

Meet CUPID: The Drone That Will Shoot You With an 80,000 Volt Taser
Mar 07, 11:40PM
Are drones not scary enough for you yet? How about this? A drone helicopter that spots you and identifies you as an intruder. It tells you to stop and put your hands behind your head. Instead, you keep coming. The drone then shoots you with barbed Taser darts that pump 80,000 volts into you. If you try to get up, it will continue pumping voltage into you until you submit and the authorities arrive.
