the perfect gift

This deck of playing cards will be created just for you from 14 digital school photos that you supply. You upload 1 picture for each of the 13 years that the Senior has gone to school (kindergarten through 12th grade) plus a photo for the back of the deck (a photo of the student or the high school emblem for example).

they are seriously making a fucking Voltron movie



in a recent interview, Alan Moore remarked that pretty soon we'd probably see Johnny Depp starring in the film version of Cap'n Crunch
