Ghostbusters Proton Pack Backpack
For your daily moment of want: If you can't have your own portable nuclear accelerator with neutrona wand, the next best thing is a backpack that looks like it. Plus, more storage place, and a significantly reduced risk of total protonic reversal. Disclaimer: Does not actually fight ghosts. (Via)

General Patton Chihuahua
General Patton Chihuahua wants to remind you this Memorial Day that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country. This little dude's name by the way is Isaiah and he's a 10-year-old Chihuahua. He's owned by Buddy Sours of Browntown, Virginia and this picture was taken in the Pentagon parking lot just prior to the start of the 'Rolling Thunder' rally in Washington D.C. Sarah Palin was there, too, but this little dude is WAY cooler.

Batman Vs. Wolverine Film Noir
From French company Atomic Production comes Batman Deliverance, a Frank Miller/Sin City inspired take on an aging Batman who takes on his newest (and possible last) nemesis, Wolverine. This is probably a bit too “artsy” for superhero fans, and a little too “comicy” for Film Noir enthusiasts, but it's certainly worth a look. (Via)

Neon signs are great. They’re hypnotic, sexy, sleazy and tacky all at the same time.
