Worried about comitting a dreadful social faux-pas by mispronouncing the name of the Terrible Nameless Horror That Sleeps Beneath the Earth Until His Time Shall Come? Worry no more!

Nice use of Jar Jar Binks heads.

...And are those Lego Zombies in the background?
We never had them in my day (Looking at new lego always gets me nostalgic for the days when moving arms and legs were a revelation...)

Is it wrong that I want to marry the person that made that Lego diorama(rama)?  For be they man, woman or unspeakable televangelist, they truly are my soulmate.  The woman who currently thinks she has that position is deluding herself - I could never truly be happy without someone who doesn't mix Lego daleks with zeppelins.

 It just gets better and better every time I look at it.

They can't all be legitimate lego peices though surely?

What kind of kits are they producing these days that require claws and tentacles?

Yep, it's all legal Lego pieces. The Claws are from Bionicle, the Tentacles are from some Harry Potter sets. The Zombies use Darth Vader heads.

"With his clumsy prose and often meandering plots, H.P. Lovecraft still struggles decades after his death for respect in the literary world. But in the metal world, his weird tales blare from Marshall amps the world over."

Giant Pyramid found in Bosnia...

Now, as well all know if you find a huge pryamid someplace where no pyramids should be it's almost certainly the work of some hideous pre-human civilisation and now where disturbing it, which is almost certainly going to unleash their hideous tentacled extra-dimensional god-beings upon us.

The blob story is pretty old. It turns out to be a whale corpse that floated around until it liquified inside it's own skin, IIRC. The bones would have dropped out of the bottom as the tissue supporting them turned to mush...

Apparently, the Bosnian pyramid isn't real either as:  

Construction of massive pyramids in Bosnia at that period is not believable. Curtis Runnels, a specialist in the prehistory of Greece and the Balkans at Boston University, notes that "Between 27,000 and 12,000 years ago, the Balkans were locked in the last Glacial maximum, a period of very cold and dry climate with glaciers in some of the mountain ranges. The only occupants were Upper Paleolithic hunters and gatherers who left behind open-air camp sites and traces of occupation in caves. These remains consist of simple stone tools, hearths, and remains of animals and plants that were consumed for food. These people did not have the tools or skills to engage in the construction of monumental architecture."

Have these people never heard of Yuggoths?
