1. Sad Keanu




Now you can physically place poor, sad Keanu anywhere you want. You can put him on your cubicle at work or your piano at home, apparently.

Calling all nerds! Pop quiz: What's better than a meme? A meme produced by a 3D printer (duh).

This week I stopped by Shapeways HQ in New York to learn about the company and the 3D printing technology. The staff there was showing off some of the fun little things they've produced, and a 3D printout of Nyan Cat struck our fancy. I returned to the Mashable office, Nyan Cat in hand, and shared it with fellow web dorks. We had but one thought: What if there were more 3D memes? Luckily, the Shapeways folks and their army of designers are a step ahead, and they've already got memes aplenty for sale in their marketplace. Take a gander at the images above and LOL at the beauty of web humor in three dimensions.
