Thanks to most stereo-types science puts most of us in mind of jam-jar specs, white coats and pale yet interesting people peering into microscopes and treading the less-than-fashionable style path. Pah!
Fie on those Jennifer Aniston "Here comes the science bit" haters. Science is full of some of the coolest stuff out there and here's a little how to that proves just that.
These DNA Earrings, were created for the happy petri-dish poking geek by Crafster member Mermaide. The results of a little beading and twisting are simple but splendiferous.
With science-flavoured accessories this good you'll have the likes of Professor Brian Cox making eyes at you across the lab in no time.
So make yourself some DNA Earrings and wear your Deoxyribonucleic Acid with pride.
Lunch that is too cute to eat may be a bit of a lost cause. Anyone is going to have a hard time bringing themself to eat lunch that immediately makes you go awwwww. That doesn't stop the Hello Kitty Bento Boxes that I came across on Craft being the coolest way to present lunch ever.
A quick paddle through the Flickr photostream of Love Bones will present you with Hello Kitty, Thomas the Tank Engine and all manner of too-cute characters via the medium of tasty Japanese treats.
Top the photos of fabulous fluffy-themed food off with a bug-eyed pug puppy and you have all the right ingredients for a crafty lunch menu you are never going to be able to bring yourself to eat.
Art. Food. Cute. Win.
Smashing out of comic books and onto our screens, taking out evil ex-boyfriend's everywhere, you can't miss Scott Pilgrim Vs The World at the moment. In tribute to his ex-boyfriend busting and in true crafty style here's a little cross-stitch to celebrate.
The geek gals over at Dork Adore are responsible for pointing me in the direction of these free cross stitch Scott Pilgrim patterns by Dork Stitch.
Get your needle into a bit of Knives Chau, swoon while stitching the not-very-manly-but-still-rockin' Scott Pilgrim, and finish with some Ramona Flowers to the face!
A chance for you to get in training for should you ever need to defeat any evil exes with your craft skills.
Do you long to be playing video games all day long rather than living in the dull humdrum existence where there are no invincibility stars or mushrooms that make you twice your height? Then it's about time you let your bathroom feel like its been treated to a 1UP.
These Nintendo Games Soaps popped up on Dorkadore (a place where girls and gadgets meet) and demanded to be shared.
Geeksoap also offers Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Soap for those with grubby halfshells and World of Warcraft Soapstone for washing off bits of blood elf.
Cleansing and yet geekily great.
There of those of us who have a plinky plunky computer game theme tune in our heads while navigating a people-filled station at rush hour. We're the same people who long for a Triforce tattoo, and we're the people who see pairs of cherries joined at the stem and can't help getting that 'extra points' thrill. To these people I present the coolest pillow ever.
The Pacman Pillow started life on its way to being a fill beanbag chair but lack of material meant it fell short of perfect roundness.
Rather than go out of their way to get extra material, clever Instructabler Sunbanks created the Pacman Pillow.
It goes remarkably well wit the Pacman Ghost Beanbag Chair too.
Relax and put your feet up while you conquer level 5, my fellow gamer geeks.
Muppets rule. It's just one of those facts. I don't know anyone on this planet who doesn't have just a little love for those bug-eyed furry fellows.
I would dearly love a muppet of my very own but breaking into Jim Henson's Creature Shop and kidnapping one seems rather risky. So crafting your very own muppet seems the way forward, and who better to show you than Jim Henson himself?
When I came across this Making Muppets video on the Mousehunter blog (excellent Mousehunter books if you fancy a fantastic mouse-and-pirate-flavoured read) I had to share.
The Muppet master takes you through the whole process of making your very own crazy-furred friend from all kinds of household objects. As he shows us how it's done he deals with some great interruptions from several weird and wonderful members Muppet-kind too.
You don't get a much better puppet-making lesson than that folks.
Happy Muppet-filled Friday!

The current series of Dr Who comes to an end this weekend to the dismay of Who-lovers across the nation. I stepped into my craft Tardis to hunt down some Dr Who-craft to keep you happy while you wait for him to return.
First up is the very cool K9 Filet crochet pattern from Crafty Tardis. A bit of robot dog for your home.
The good people of Craftster went all out in their Dr Who Swap with coasters, nesting dolls and possibly the coolest bit of craft: a chunk of exploded Tardis.
And Cut Out and Keep don't let us down either with a squidgy Dalek cupcake army and a rather cool Tardis door.
That ought to keep you going till the Tardis and its Gallifreyan owner reappear.
