If the Internet was a hen, these are the types of eggs she would lay. These "Geakster eggs," if you will, are the result of some pretty festive nerds at the peak of their Easter spirit.

Who knew a Doctor Who tardis would look so fine as an oval? And who could expect that LEGO's pesky right angles could form a believable egg?

What other geeky Easter eggs would you like to add to your basket? Share your ideas in the comments.

Have you sent your first "Pheed" yet? Launched late last year, Pheed is a new social media platform that lets you share text, photos, videos and audio. Propelled by teenage users, Pheed topped the App Store's social networking category in late February.

Though the company says the app is not just for teens, Pheed told Mashable the user base is 81% between age 14 and 25.

Pheed's popularity with teens was spurred by several influential teenagers on Twitter sharing that they'd discovered the app. First was Acacia Brinley, followed by Pia Mia, Garrett Backstorm and Colin Ford.
Both a website and a mobile app, Pheed is currently available for free online and via the App Store.

We've taken a first look at the iPhone app, giving you a quick guide to how to get started with the new social service.

LinkedIn, the most clean-cut, professional social network, is rarely known for its sense of humor. But little did you know, there's endless fun to be had when you endorse your connections with the most unusual skills.

The pre-written list of LinkedIn Endorsements include a host of job skills you're familiar with — think PowerPoint, leadership, social media and time management.

Wondering what else is on this list? Gorilla is listed as a job skill. Baskets is on there as well.

We understand that there are in fact experts in gorillas, baskets and many other things that we in the digital media world find humorous. And we certainly don't mean to offend the badass basket makers of the world.

That said, no matter your industry, we promise you'll laugh perusing some of the most oddball options on LinkedIn's list — we sure did.

Take a look through the gallery above for some inspiringly weird endorsements we found on LinkedIn's list of job skills. What's the most bizarre skill you found on LinkedIn? Let us know in the comments.
