Starbucks…not the coffee…the galactic kind.
Ever wondered what 1 Galactic Credit looks like? (Theoretically of course!) Stamped by the First Galactic Reserve System and signed by our very own Emperor Palpatine, “Emperor of the Known Galaxy” Does anyone know the origin of these? The rather nerdy artist? via

Whole Human for just £18,350

Drive-By Projecting
This is a great idea. Setup a projector out of the rear window of your car and go around town late and night projecting different images on buildings and around people. This has huge potential of all sorts of mischief and debauchery! I can see a whole series of these videos popping up over the… Continue reading Drive-By Projecting
