Easter for nerds: Yoda egg, overmarketed Peeps.

BoingBoing reader Jake says,

I made an Easter egg shaped like Yoda using the normal green dye kit, some crayons and foam ears.

Okay, so it's dorky as hell, but at least I didn't make an egg pun like "Do or do not, there is no fried."

Link, and yes, Jake: you just did.

I was at a grocery store yesterday, when I noticed a point-of-sale endcap floor to ceiling with various "Peeps" related merch... mostly kids books, coloring books etc. I love Peeps and all, but seriously! How interesting a story can you get about Marshmallow chicks and bunnies? check out the listing on Amazon. And here's a pic I got with my celphone. Happy easter / passover / whatever it is that Pastafarians celebrate this time of year.
