Randall Munroe at Google. (Guest appearance by Donald Knuth, who appears to be a fan. Of course.)

From the guy who brought you xkcd, the LimerickDB. A brilliant mix of nerdiness and smut.

The Battle of the Pelennor Fields in candy:
This is the Tower of Ecthelion. If a candy tower could be measured in units of pimpness, this candy tower would be off the fucking charts. And if that wasn’t pimp enough, in front you can clearly see the White Tree of Gondor, which I made out of white chocolate pretzels. Give me my Nobel Prize now, thankyouverymuch.
Previously, The Battle of Helm’s Deep.

009-1 (ゼロゼロナイン・ワン Zero Zero Nine-One) is a spy-fi anime series based off of a manga series by famous manga artist Shotaro Ishinomori. It was first broadcast on TBS TV in Japan in October 2006. The original manga was named 009ノ1 (”Zero Zero Ku-no-ichi”; a pun on kunoichi and a reference to the main character’s occupation as a spy) and was serialized in Weekly Manga Action from 1967 to 1970, then returned briefly in 1974. It concerns Miléne Hoffman (ミレーヌ・ホフマン Mirēnu Hofuman; “Mylene” in the ADV translation), a female cyborg with machine gun breasts who works as a secret agent.
Brought to my attention by an advert on Facebook. (”She’s the super sexy spy … that will do anything for the mission”, apparently.)
