This Saturday is basically every geek's dream come true. Not only is it Free Comic Book Day (!!!!!!), it is also Star Wars Day. (Get it?? "May the fourth be with you.") Here are some of our favorite ways people have expressed their excitement over Star Wars Day, because if there's one thing geeks are good at, it's making stuff on a computer. Check it out.
There was a time when superheroes were associated with just one actor (Christopher Reeve, for example). Of course, in the age of reboots, we're getting pretty used to there being multiple actors as Batmen and Supermen
Need a quick pick-me-up? Something to make your mood brighten a bit? Well folks, we’ve got the perfect solution—the Web’s most adorably excited munchkins.
Thank you, Reddit. For all the creepy creepster stuff you do, you sometimes come up with something like this and make us laugh and laugh. The Confession Kid meme is a much more charming cousin of the now-classic Confession Bear. We think he's about a million times better though.

Feeling a little sleepy? Is that fifth cup o’ joe not cutting it for you today? It’s OK, these animals know how you feel. Everyone hits that mid-afternoon (or mid-morning) slump sometimes, and furballs are no exception.

Even if you don't believe that Bigfoot is real, you should read this list. You never know when Bigfoot is going to be the topic of conversation at a cocktail party, and if there's one thing that's important in life, it's being entertaining at cocktail parties.

Some people express confusion over Americans celebrating Cinco de Mayo, when it's not even that big of a deal in Mexico. We express confusion over people turning down an excuse to eat tacos and sip tequila until the sun comes up/you've gone cross-eyed. Not to mention, did you see that photo? That is a capybara wearing a fake mustache. We rest our case.
Sometimes life takes unexpected turns, but we can usually roll with the punches. You know—getting mail shoved in our mouths or suffering the consequences of a bonfire Harlem Shake. Whatever.
