A lovingly created table football battle of Good (Gandhi, Assisi, Moore (bobby, not sir henry), Poppins with Claus in goal and God striking) Vs. Evil (Hitler, Jack the Ripper, Macbeth, Vlad the Impaler with the Child Catcher in goal and Lucifer striking).
The table costs a fortune (£14,500) and only 20 will be made, more sculpture than pub-sport…it is being sold by new and exclusive 20ltd, who I am refusing to link to on the grounds that their 100% flash site forces a new window, maximises the screen and plays music. Three strikes and you are out.
[via notcot] - who have thankfully ripped the images from 20ltd’s ghastly site.
This is a stunning slow motion video of a samurai sword (Nihontou) slicing a water balloon. Tameshigiri actually refers to the Japanese art of target test cutting, although I doubt water balloons are normal targets.
Also see the Samurai Sword slow motion cut through Egg, Tomato, Iced Tea, Onion, Cabbage and an Apple.
This is the pheonominal work of Jen Stark, created from cutting and combining coloured paper.
She has also created some wonderful drawings, the level of detail is far beyond what most people would have the patience for.

Great story behind this one…ThinkGeek is well-known for it’s april fools products, last year was the wireless power adaptor this year was the 8-bit tie.
In fact, so many people thought this was a great idea (and well within the realms of possibility) that they actually have decided to produce it.
