Dreams Do Come True of the Day: Knokkers: The glorious lovechild of bowling and eight-ball pool.

Think a pool table that got mega-rayed with bowling ball-sized balls on a table that is 15 X 30 feet. Players stand and walk on the felt to make otherwise billiards-type shots by bowling the cue ball. The table is about a foot and a half off the ground. It’s safe, fast-paced, and entertaining for others to watch.

The game was supposed to launch in 2010, but the official website doesn’t say whether or not it actually did.

Photo of the Day: Geeky girl graduates from college in full Stormtrooper gear.

From Stuff.co.nz:

Manja Pieters, 36, is one of 1360 Canterbury University students to graduate this week, and she paraded through central Christchurch in the costume yesterday before receiving her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, majoring in film.

“I have graduated a few times before and I thought, `This is my final time – I’m going to go out with a bang’,” she said.

“I also wanted to bring a few smiles to people’s faces. It’s been tough, with the recession and redundancies.”

The marriage material is strong with this one.
