The grain gives away that it's obviously made of wood, but what is this tshirt-shaped slab of lumber supposed to be? The latest in eco-friendly fashion? An alternative to undershirts that's easy to clean with a sanding block? Not even close. Read More >>

Is it a close-up image of a spider's eye? Maybe it’s a cross-section of the top of a plant stem? Or perhaps it's a UFO, seen on one of NASA's space telescopes, or even a new type of alien bug? Read More >>

Is it a newly published, real-life Pokemon, or maybe a new character addition to Black Mesa? Maybe it's a new plant discovered in the depths of the Amazonian rainforest? Or perhaps it's just a close up of a flesh eating parasite, or even a living spaceship from Farscape? Read More >>

Is it an alien from the depths of space, riding the solar storms or living in subspace? Or perhaps a super-creepy Alien face hugger from Prometheus? Just take a gander at that scary-looking tail, ready to wrap around your neck and implant that egg. Read More >>
