This stop-motion animation spinning cake recreates the entire first level of Super Mario Bros–and the best part is, it’s edible. (via Gizmodo)

• This girl accidentally dyed herself pink by using what she thought was a Lush bath bomb. (Turns out it was an oil-based product that had to be diluted in water first.) Oops? She says she’ll still shop there even though it took three days for the stain to completely come out of her skin. (via The Daily Dot)
• Someone built a real burning lightsaber that runs on alcohol. Warning: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. Seriously. You could get hurt (even if it does look cool). (via GammaSquad)

This wonderful video (courtesy of IGN) is a perfect supercut of every time R2-D2 has saved the day in the Star Wars movies. (I don’t care what you people say, that little astromech droid is the real hero of the franchise.)

• Former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld… has released a video game? Yep. (via Forbes)
• Sarah the cheetah, the world’s fastest land animal, passed away Wednesday at the ripe old age of 15. (Cheetahs typically live anywhere from 8 to 12.) (via Neatorama)
