Every day the internet produces an astounding amount of goodies and gems. Most hilarious, some amusing, but all worth at least a few seconds of your time. We here at Nerd Bastards try to bring you the best bits of news and nerdery the webz has to offer, with a bit of snark thrown in. But sometimes not everything makes the cut. Monday through Friday we'll be bringing you our inbox leftovers, our forgotten bookmarks, the nerdy bits that simply slipped through the cracks. You can submit items to Nerdy Bits by emailing us at nerdybits@nerdbastards.com.
ABOVE: A tank with a giant Darth Vader head is totally rad on its own, but it gets even cooler when you look closely and realize it's made from all different kinds of materials. Gabriel Dishaw used typewriter keys, computer parts, airplane parts and obviously a toy tank to create this fantastic Tank Vader. [Technabob]
Ari Kathein creates some pretty stunning nerdy jewelry, including this Batman inspired engagement ring. [Neatorama]
If Bilbo Baggins was a girl, she would probably look something like this! Cosplayer Aishafee created this lady Bilbo after about 3 months of work. Adorable.
Thanks to Etsy seller Paul Nojima you can lose at the Game of Thrones without dying! Then again, some games of poker can be pretty cutthroat.
Flickr user and LEGO loverRifirofi created a series of unofficial LEGO Monty Python and the Holy Grail sets. Check out more of the sets on Brothers-Brick.
I am very much over River and her "SPOILERS!" but I still like the idea of Doctor Who journals. These three mini journals that were previously only available at SDCC are now up for grabs at ThinkGeek.
I love nerdy cakes. They're one of my favorite things to post about.... but this one.... it's amazing, don't get me wrong, but how on earth do you cut into it? Do you lay it down first? Do you take off the fondant cape first? Do you just rip off one of the arms and start noshing? [Home Geekonomics]
I thought seeing Hank and Marie watch Walter's "confession" from this week's Breaking Bad was the best thing I'd see all week, but nope, watching them watch Miley's VMA performance is the best thing I'll see all week. [Obvious Winner]
Beatdownboogie just released the fourth installment of Mario Warfare. I'd tell you what I thought about it, but that would break the first rule of smash club. [Geeks Are Sexy]
Dude, the people of Japan are serious about their pranks! This poor guy believed he was being chased by a dinosaur. [i09 - who, btw, erroneously called this a velociraptor.)
