People can get pretty wild with LEGOs, but this creation from 16-year-old Paul Vermeesch is something else entirely. It's brilliant. It's amazing. It's the kind of thing nerds drool over.

Seen one wedding, seen 'em all, right? Wrong. Matt Dunn and Asia Ramirez recently tied the knot at their Minecraft-themed wedding.

The wedding and reception were lovingly captured by Sacramento photographers Lisa and Geoff Bardot of the Goodness. While themed weddings are nothing new, we think it's safe to say Matt and Asia took theirs to a whole other level. There were Minecraft-style block figures of ducks, dogs, and more. Asia wore a "diamond necklace" inspired by the bricktacular game. Similarly, the groom's tie was inspired by Minecraft. The party was a team effort. Friends helped to paint the 100+ cardboard boxes used for trees and a cave.

Carnival season is just around the corner, bringing with it fried treats, sketchy rides, and all sorts of giant stuffed animals begging to be freed from their midway bonds.

But if you're anything like us, the thought of playing those rigged carnival games only brings back memories of frustration, lost money, and the angry injustice that accompanies any experience where you feel like you've been cheated but can't quite put your finger on how.

However, if you know which games to play -- and a few how-to tricks -- you can up your odds significantly. This year, strike back against crooked carnies and fill your car to the very brim with plush prizes by beating them at their own game.

Batman and Fidel Castro? Indonesian photographer Agan Harahap gets familiar with the stories behind iconic historic photos, then adds superheroes (and the occasional villain) for a new twist.

Yalta Conference, 1945: Winston Churchill, check. Franklin D. Roosevelt, check. Josef Stalin, check. Darth Vader... wait, what? Yep, that's the Dark Lord himself hovering behind the "Big Three" at the historic summit to discuss post-war Europe.

He's there courtesy of Agan Harahap, a professional photographer and avowed history buff who photoshops superheroes (and a few villains) into famous historical photos -- to strange and sometimes ironic effect.

When you're taking on your friends (or enemies, for that matter) at a card game, any edge is worth a little effort. And whether it's a neighborly game of bridge or a cutthroat evening of Texas Hold 'Em, nothing will intimidate your opponents better than showing you're a slick hand with the deck.

On the other hand, nothing will spoil your poker-face faster than a clumsy shuffle. Banish the card-randomizing blues by learning how to shuffle properly.

Throwing a Frisbee looks easy. And to be fair, it isn't exactly the hardest thing in the world.

But throwing one well? That's a different kettle of fish entirely.

Sure, you might be able to manage a wobbly, ineffective lob here and there, but don't you feel jealous watching those guys who can effortlessly flick their discs for what seems like miles, straighter than an arrow?

Fix your failing Frisbee-fu. Here's a few pointers that'll really make you fly.

It's heating up out there, which means you and the fam will likely be searching out ways to cool down over the next couple months. That probably means at least one trip to the chlorine rivers of your local water park, where you will undoubtedly be tempted to risk life and limb simply to plummet down a giant wet slide.

But all rides are not created equal, so if you really want to challenge your intestinal fortitude, search out the parks that hold these truly spectacular slides.

When 4-year-old comic book fan Anthony Smith stubbornly refused to wear his hearing aid, his mother decided to bring out the big guns.

Born with no right ear and partial hearing loss in his left, the Salem, MA boy refers to his hearing device as 'blue ear' -- and while it's helped him immeasurably, Anthony suddenly decided that since superheroes didn't use hearing aids, neither would he.

That prompted his mother, Christina D'Allesandro, to email Marvel comics in a desperate attempt to prove to her son that superheroes were, in fact, just like him.
