Even here in the US, everybody is going batcrap crazy about the upcoming royal wedding getting ready to take place in the UK.  Personally, I can’t say I really care about it unless Kate Middleton decides to re-enact one of the scenes from Runaway Bride or walk down the isle in her birthday suite which would be hilarious.  However, this Sim’s 3 version of the royal wedding is pretty awesome!  Apparently you need pretty much all of the expansion packs for The Sims 3 to recreate this royal wedding for yourself but watching this one is pretty cool!  I never thought the Queen could dance like that!

If there is one that that everybody seems to agree on, its that Rebecca Black’s Friday song has to be one of the worst songs of all time.  Luckily, this Star Wars version isn’t as bad.  Apparently some geeks decided to spoof her video with a music video called Primeday.  If you love Star Wars, it is definitely worth a watch!  Who knew that Boba Fett could rap?!  Funny stuff!

Until I saw this post, I thought the whole Mentos and Diet Coke meme had died.  Apparently an educational group known as Mad Science didn’t get that memo because to celebrate the Easter season in the UK, they created a massive Mentos and soda fountain with hundreds of bottles of the stuff!  They also put food coloring in the soda to give it more of a traditional Easter coloring.  Below is a picture preview with the full video below.  If you want to skip straight to the good stuff, jump to about 2:45 in the video.

Share this video with everybody you know that likes watching huge Mentos and Diet Coke fountains!

NES Lunchbox [pic]

I haven’t carried a lunch box since I was in grade school, but if I did need to start carrying one, you can bet it would be this awesome NES lunch box.  I would assume that the Nintendo Entertainment System in this picture was no longer working before it was turned into a lunch box, otherwise it is a crime against humanity to take a game console and turn it into something to store your food.  Apparently the creator of this has some extra NES systems laying around because he is selling NES lunch boxes for $80 on Etsy.

Just to let you guys know why things aren’t getting posted like they should, I am experiencing some kind 404 error when I try to save most posts as a draft or publish it.  At this point, I am just hoping I can get this to post.  I’m trying to troubleshoot the issue but I really have no clue what is happening or how to fix it.  I will update you guys as soon as there is something to say.  I recommend following @globalgeeknews on Twitter for the latest updates.  I hope things will be back to normal soon! If you know how to fix this 404 error in WordPress when you go to save a post as a draft or publish a post, please let me know!

UPDATE: I believe I have solved the problems.  I’m not exactly sure what the problem was but apparently one of the plugins I use (not sure which one) decided to muck with the rewrite database entry for creating permalinks.  Things seem to be fine now but if things go wrong again at least I will have an idea of what the problem is.  Thanks for sticking with us through these issues!  Posts will resume shortly!

UPDATE #2: I am still experiencing the issue.  I’m working to find a solution.  Stay tuned!

UPDATE #3: All appears to be fine now.  Apparently it had something to do with some changes my host made to the Apache server.  I guess I spent the last 4 hours pulling my hair out for nothing.  Now posts have started to resume again!

Over the years, I have seen a lot of different types of food that people claim they see Jesus in but this is the first time I have ever seen Spock in some food.  Apparently this image of Spock in Matza was created with some laser etching.  It is amazing what you can do with lasers and some food.  I think it is probably a safe bet that this is the geekiest matza creation ever.  Feel free to prove me wrong!  If all of the food was this geeky, I might observe the Jewish holiday of Passover.

I love giant LEGO creations and this is one of the cooler ones I have seen in a while.  Somebody created a life-size LEGO Batman to put in their store.  Sadly, the cape is not made out of LEGOs but the rest of it that is, looks awesome!  Whoever built this did an amazing job!  I’m kind of curious to know just how much time was involved in building this Batman statue as well as how many LEGO bricks.  I know I wouldn’t have the patience to make something that cool!  If you have ever build a massive and amazing looking LEGO creation, let us know in the comments!

Pass this along to all of your LEGO and Batman loving friends!  Let them enjoy this creation too!  Also, like us on Facebook!

Electricity eraces a CD

Electricity eraces a CD

Have you ever been worried about the data that you have burned to CDs (assuming you still use the old technology)?  Of course there are various shredders and stuff you can buy to destroy the CD after it has fulfilled its purpose but what is the fun in that?  Now, we have an even more amazing way to remove the data from the disks, electricity!

I can’t think of a better way to get rid of data than with some high voltage!  The amazing video below shows some CDs (I would assume this would also work for DVDs and Blu-ray disks) spinning thanks to a tiny motor hooked up to a 9 volt battery while a couple of coils zap the data right off the drive with some beautiful electricity arcs!  Bottom line is that this is awesome and worth the 53 seconds of your time to watch!  Tell us how cool you think this is in the comments!

Pass this along to all of your friends who would appreciate this high powered data removal!  Like us on Facebook too!

Mini Crossbow

Mini Crossbow

As a kid, I used to have a bow with some arrows that I would shoot for fun or at least it was fun until the feather type things on the bow started cutting up my hands, but I have never had the opportunity to shoot a crossbow.  Now, if I ever get to shoot a crossbow, I hope it is this awesome mini crossbow!  Not only is it super small, it seems really powerful and even has some 22k gold on it!  Check out the video of this amazing little crossbow of doom with various arrow configurations below to see just how dangerous this little crossbow can be!

Pass this along to all of your friends that love mini weapons!  Tell us what you think of this cool piece of weaponry in the comments!  After you like us on Facebook that is!

Do you love Super Mario Bros so much that you want to have an awesome looking Mega Chain Chomp bean bag to sit on?  Then you are in luck!  You can find the amazing Mega Chain Chomp bean bag pictured below, for sale over on Etsy for just $100.  When you compare that to something like a Luvsac, $100 is a pretty good price!  The one downside is that these are made to order so it apparently takes 4 weeks for your order to ship.  The product description is below followed by a picture of this awesome bean bag!

Pass this along to any Super Mario Bros fans that you know who are looking for something awesome to sit on!  Let us know what you think about this bean bag in the comments!

Your home is not safe from Mario without a chain chomp to guard it!

He comes to approx 70cm (28”) high and wide when fully filled. He is made from heavy duty drill fabric and double stitched and serged to make him leak proof. Chain Chomp’s face is painted on with environmentally friendly solvent-free fabric paint.

The zipper has the zip-pull taken off to make it childproof and so it won’t be accidently opened. To open it, just slip a paper clip where the zip-pull is meant to go.

IMPORTANT: Bean bag does not come filled or else the postage rates would be astronomical! So he is folded and flat packed into a sturdy parcel. Bowser suggests filling him with three or more (500g) bags of polystyrene beans depending on how smooshy or full you want him.

Chain chomp is featured in one of the photos playing guitar hero, but please note that he doesn’t come with a guitar, it was photographed so you can get an idea of his size.

The postage price includes insurance for your and my own peace of mind ^_^
