 The Doctor is cool. He scares the ever living daylights out of me with creatures like the Weeping Angels, but totally makes up for it with adorable ones like the Adipose. Sure, they’re technically blobs of fat but they’re cute blobs of fat. Which is why everyone is going to want this dice bag/wristlet. It’s made out of white polarfleece and felt with little button eyes. He measures about 7″ tall and 2.5″ wide and you can buy him right now and give him a happy home.

What if you could make your face look like an emoticon? Yes, we’ve reached that day and age. These glasses were printed from a 3D file and allow you to wear a constant look of disapproval.

After seeing these, Makerbot threw down the gauntlet. They’re encouraging people to keep making glasses that express emoticons. The challenge:

Here’s what I’m thinking for an emoticon glasses challenge:

  • Be the first to upload any kind of emoticon glasses to Thingiverse with the tag “emoticonglasses“.
  • Be the first to upload a particular kind of emoticon glasses to Thingiverse with the tag “emoticonglasses“.
  • Be the first to tweet a picture of yourself wearing emoticon glasses at a bar with the hashtag #emoticonglasses“

Anyone who completes any of the above three challenges gets 9000 internet points and everlasting online fame!

If you would rather skip all of the effort and simply throw your money at someone, the glasses can also be purchased ready-made from the link below.

If you’ve always wanted an exoskeleton, this bracelet is for you. The skeleton ring and bracelet combo designed by Delfina Delettrez is available in silver or gold. Whatever the metal, it will make an impression on everyone who sees it (or leave one if you punch someone with it).
