I should think that any fan of the fantastic Hellboy film franchise or the equally fun comic book series would want to own this doll. Am I right? I said, AM I RIGHT?

Photographer Glen Scot, who lives in the UK, snapped this photo of a Guitar shop storefront that quite literally advertises what they sell. Brilliant! And the pots go to Eleven!
Rad Video of the Day: Fan Made Trader Joe’s Commercial!
When Trader Joe’s opened its first store in Manhattan it completely changed my life, and it is still the primary grocery store in which I shop, even when it means I must stand in a line that snakes all the way through the store and back to the entrance. It’s always worth it. If you feel similarly, please enjoy this fan-made video with an accompanying original song about all of the many items that make this store incomparably special. Trader Joe’s Forever!

The Origin of the Species: Ten Illustrated Versions
The Origin of the Lego Man

Plus, Thursday (2/12) would have been his 200th birthday.

Of course, I can’t even think of the book’s title without also being reflexively thrown to thoughts of Type O Negative’s infamous live CD, The Origin of The Feces, but that is a different story. Keeping it on a lighter note, Listicles looks at the evolution of the most familiar graphic shorthand for Darwin’s entire theory with their 10 Illustrated Versions of Evolution, including the Evolution of Lego Man, seen above.
