To celebrate Star Wars Day (May 4, as in "May the Fourth Be With You"), makeup artist Jangasara created a set of R2D2 eyelids to dote over.

May the 4th (via Neatorama)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    Can we as a geek society now move on from the “may the fourth” pun please? It was funny for about 5 seconds, last year.

    • Vian Lawson

       No, no we can’t.  Also, that thing you and your friends get a moment’s goofy enjoyment from?  It totally sucks.

         I guess I was disheartened by the eighty facebook comments which just said “May the fourth be with you” that showed up in my feed during the day.

        • Stooge

          Sounds like you should be moving on from Facebook.

             Heh, no I just need cleverer friends.
