Finally, Even Sneezing Can Be Made Nerdier
You can thank Japan for turning the violent expulsion of snot into another way to celebrate your nerdiness with this rather adorable R2-D2 tissue holder. Obviously, since Artoo has housed lightsabers in his dome before, tissues should be a snap. However, I can’t help but worry that somewhere on this thing is a tiny Vaseline dispenser. It is Japanese, after all. (Via Nerd Approved)
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
