How Much does a Cloud Weigh?

July 14, 2014 by Richard Vincenti Jr Leave a Comment


How much does a cloud weigh? How about a Hurricane? I have spent a fair amount of time looking into the sky and watching clouds pass and trying to figure out which ones look like unicorns and which ones look like t-rex, but have you ever thought about how big they are? Sometimes, we see thunderstorms build up into massive towers that flatten out as they push up miles into the sky, and I have always wondered how much water is really up there.

Have you ever wondered how much all of that water weighs? Well, whether you have or not, NPR helps answer that very question in this great video.

Talk Nerdy To Me ( Jason Derulo Parody)

July 14, 2014 by Richard Vincenti Jr Leave a Comment


 

Just a little parody that I stumbled, which is awesome! Thanks to a post from George Takei. I often run into geeky parodies while exploring the vast greatness of the internet, but I thought that this one stood out. Enjoy!

July 11, 2014 by Richard Vincenti Jr Leave a Comment

 

Adam Savage shows us around his amazing “hidden workshop of wonder” in San Francisco on Tested.

The workshop is filled with notable film props, costumes, specialized tools, collector items and more. He shows us how he made a relatively inexpensive display case into something fantastic for showing off a few of his many collectible items as well as giving us a peek into how he manages and organizes his many tools, bits, accessories and more.

Star Wars Lightsaber Thumb Wrestling

September 23, 2013 by Karlene Leave a Comment

ThinkGeek.com is an online store with all kinds of awesome geek stuff. On sale now, is a Star Wars Lightsaber Thumb Wrestling book.

I think this is a pretty fun idea and the cost is very reasonable. No need for boring “old school” thumb wars, this makes it way more exciting.

 

Thumb War

ThinkGeek says:

May the thumb be with you.

One, two, three, four – we declare thumb war. Remember? And then you’d mash each other’s thumbs or flick your pointer finger out yelling, “Secret Weapon!!” and getting everyone all mad? That’s how you used to thumb wrestle, but that’s not how they did it long, long ago and all that. How’d they do it? With lightsabers, silly. And now you can, too, with Star Wars Lightsaber Thumb Wrestling.

Star Wars Lightsaber Thumb Wrestling – a game-in-a-book – provides hours of fun for thumb wrestling masters or their padawans. Each duelist attaches a saber to their thumb with Velcro and elastic. Then, just decide on the arena (featuring prominent dueling locations from all 6 Star Wars movies), slide your thumbs in, and have at it. Star Wars Lightsaber Thumb Wrestling is silly fun that will make a childhood game come alive again – with the power of lightsabers.

Please Note: These thumbsabers have no cutting properties and will not Ponda Baba-ize any of your digits. Just so you don’t worry.

Star Wars Lightsaber Thumb Wrestling

  • Add a dash of Star Wars to your normal thumb wrestling tournaments.
  • Velcro on these mini sabers and digit duel in a more civilized manner.
  • Durable card game board/book features 7 different arenas spanning all 6 movies.
  • Book even holds the sabers for easy travel.
  • Includes: One book and two sabers (Luke and Vader).
  • Saber Dimensions: approx. 4″ long (fits most thumbs).
 You can buy yours here!
