Hi, I'm just a crazy writer who spends too much time online.
Looking to scare your children with adorable play toys? Then you need the Avenging Narwhal play set.
The narwhal uses its tusk to impale the cute animals of the world, specifically baby seals, baby penguins and koalas. This 5-1/2″ long, hard vinyl narwhal comes with four magic tusks (crystal, onyx, ruby and ice) to impale the three 1-1/2″ long, soft vinyl cuties. Don’t let cute overrun the world, fight back with your own Avenging Narwhal!
Thanks to Neatorama for discovering this lovely toy.
Our laptop has been in the shop, so we should start getting more Comic-Con updates in the next few days, but for the time being, perhaps you would like to see a round up of some of the other sites that covered the convention.
Wired has a great collection of tattoos at Comic-con.
The Official Star Wars blog owes it to its readers to have the best Star Wars costumes at the convention.
Joystiq has a variety of costumes, some of which I posted, others I didn’t even see.
CinemaBlend also has some I posted and some I didn’t notice. It’s insane to try to get every costume there -possibly impossible.
Yahoo has a very nice costume gallery. Be sure to see the whole thing.
And lastly, I Am Bored has 13 great pics.

But I did tell you so. The bigfoot “discovery” was actually a fake. The somewhat suprising turn of events though is that the hoax may cost the pranksters some big money, since they’re now getting sued. That’s what you get for playing on America’s love of big, hairy things.
