So you've gone and caught em' all. Now what? Pokémon (maybe) are living things and you've crammed them into a tiny Poké Ball without a second thought like a savage. What's it really like in there?

Tetris is hypnotic. There are few things more satisfying to the human brain than stacking up falling bricks into neat little piles. It scratches just the right itch. If building real-world objects out of Tetris blocks were an option, then that's what my house would be made of. That does raise the question of how many Tetris bricks it would take to build a house? Don't worry. Movoto's got you covered with a new calculator to figure it out.

Tomorrow the 143,000 ton asteroid 2012 DA14 will pass a mere 17,200 miles from the Earth. What does that mean for you? Nothing. There's no chance of DA14 hitting the Earth. We'll all be fine this time around, but hundreds of smaller objects strike the Earth every year. Our friends at Movoto have a handy calculator to get the odds that one will hit your house. Give it a try, and you'll probably feel a lot better about the whole thing.

Bacon has a long and proud tradition of being wrapped around things to make them better, but those things are usually food. Would wrapping your house in bacon make it better?

What about defending your bacon house from predators? So many questions! Don't worry. Movoto has a handy infographic to help you sort it all out.

There are a lot of different kinds of geeks in the world. You can be a literature geek, a video game geek, a comic book geek, or really geek out about just about anything. We won't judge you. The folks over at Movoto.com geek out about real estate, but lucky for the Internet, they also geek out about The Hobbit. They've combined their interests to create a real estate valuation and listing for Bilbo Baggins' home, Bag End. They even put it together in tasty infographic form.
