1985 was doomed from the start: "We Are the World," Mike Tyson's professional debut, New Coke, the first version of Windows. If it weren't for the US release of the Nintendo and ThunderCats, we'd just write the whole thing off and ask for a do-over. Read more... We were pondering.
ThunderCats Ho!

Melting
After many, many frustrating hours twisting and turning until we got ONE side completed, we have a love/hate relationship with the Rubik's Cube. Since the cube has spent over 20 years melting our minds, we figured it was time for payback. Read more... As seen on The Big Bang Theory!
Domo-kun is my copilot, and I don’t think my scruffy, Nerf-loving self can handle it for much longer. Sure, he’s fuzzy and adorable. But he also eats everything in sight.

Zombie Identification Chart
In case of zombie apocalypse, the most important thing is to know what you're working with. Identify your tools and figure out what type of undead you're up against. You might be prepared to tear a zombie in half with a machine gun. Effective against a 28 Days Later zombie. Not so effective for a Romero zombie. Which conveniently brings us to the list:
Hello My Name Is Inigo Montoya
We hate going to events that require nametags. We don't like encouraging strangers to talk to us. Plus, we always forget to take the damn thing off when we walk out of whatever it was that required the nametag, so we're headed home, stopping by the grocery store, accidentally encouraging the produce manager to address us by name. Which is just creepy. The one exception would be if you had a really long name such as Tarquin Fin-tim-lin-bin-whin-bim-lim bus stop F'tang F'tang Olé Biscuitbarrel.
For folks too lazy to break out Urban Spoon when deciding on lunch, we offer a superior alternative to Rock Paper Scissors. And if you wear this shirt while making the decision, you can always remember what beats what because we've provided handy arrows. Read more... We'll be honest here. We hadn't heard of Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock until that episode of The Big Bang Theory .

Geek Magnetic Poetry Kit
Do the letters USB, PHP, and IEEE mean anything to you? From the folks that brought you Magnetic Poetry comes the GEEK edition! Now that innuendo-laden poetry on your fridge can have a geeky bent to it. (Yes, we read your fridge. And stole your last soda. Sorry 'bout that.)
Those of us who count ourselves among the living have a certain penchant for iambic pentameter. It just flows so nicely with its steady rhythm. We can recite poetry while walking and easily keep our pace to match our words.

Inanimate Character Stickers
We do it every day, though mostly without thinking about it - we get angry at the stapler that mangled our presentation, or the phone when it can't get a signal. We say we "love this coffee mug," and sometimes we even imagine a face on the clock on the wall. It's called anthropomorphizing, and it's where we imbue human characteristics to inanimate objects. But are they really inanimate?If there's one thing we love at ThinkGeek (okay, there isn't, but play along), it's mind hacks. The little things you can do to pull a Jedi mind trick on your brain and make you perform better. One that we learned back in our school days was to declare one pen our "lucky pen." Said lucky pen was only to be used for tests and by using the lucky pen, we were guaranteed to do better than if we used another, lesser pen.

History Time: The thumbs up/thumbs down gesture for approval/distaste (and which gesture means which) comes from Ancient Roman times - specifically, instructions to the gladiator on whether or not to spare his opponent. But here's the thing: the Latin term for this is Pollice verso , which translates to "turned thumb." If you consult the writings of old dead Roman people, you'll find even they contradict each other on which one is really approval and which is distaste. But, who cares: we of the present have decreed thumbs up to be good and thumbs down to be bad. And that's the model that the Like/Dislike Stamp Set perpetuates.
