Although not yet even an actual product, the Alien Abduction UFO lamp is quite possibly the coolest lamp of all time, at least for geeks.
Artist Lasse Klein created the concept art for the UFO lamp with computer graphics software.
The artist mentions on her website/blog that the more people who sign up for the flying saucer lamp mailing list, the more likely she will be able to turn this into an actual product.

You’d probably think I was crazy if I told you this image contained the New York City skyline, but it does. You have to be a bit of a Photoshop geek to see it, but it’s there.
Head on over to Ironic Sans to see the skyline, and how it was done. It took me a couple of reads to wrap my head around this. I love this kind of stuff!

Who didn’t love the General Mills Monster Cereals growing up — Count Chocula, FrankenBerry and my favorite, Boo Berry.
I just stumbled across these excellent Kubrick figurines of all the main monsters.
Doing a bit of research, it turns out there were two more later additions to the lineup. Do you know them? First was the Wolfman-themed Fruit Brute, which was re-issued as Yummy Mummy. I guess neither did very well on the grocery store shelves.
I was totally hooked on these as a kid, being a huge monster fan. Have not eaten them for many years as I really don’t eat sugar-coated cereal much anymore.
And just as cool as the figurines are the excellent mini cereal box blister packs.

OK, so I am a bit jealous that I didn’t come up with the idea of turning famous dead presidents into cartoon zombies! OK OK, I’m really jealous that I didn’t come up with the idea of cartoon zombie presidents.
How cool are these? Drawn in a very 1950′s EC horror comic/Jack Davis-esque style, featuring Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. And to make sure they offended the religious folk out there, you have Zombie Pope and Zombie Jesus as well.
Just stumbled across this awesome Flickr set of cartoon woodcarved panels by ojimbo. Each letter of the alphabet (sadly, only up to N right now) has it’s own panel with excellent juxtapositions of objects that begin with each letter. I totally want these as trading cards. Pictured is A is for Afro.
The best pieces have combos and triple combos, like the “Masked Mermaid with Mohawk” in the letter M.
Be sure to check out the entire set!
