Anti-stab Knife

Add this to the list of things I did not know - there's apparently an epidemic of stabbings in the UK.

So many, in fact, that the Home Office has approved this anti-stab knife. I think this is unfortunately named, however. I can still stab you with it. Perhaps some marketing guru can come up with a more suitable moniker.

Alton Brown would frown on this item, since he's a firm believer that kitchen tools should be multi-taskers. If all I can do with this knife is cut something, what the heck good is it, anyway?

Is That A Weapon, Or Are You Just Happy To See Me?

Since it's a well-known fact that Hamas fears only two things - modern conveniences and snakes - the Israeli army has decided to give the Islamic Resistance Movement panic attacks by launching spy serpents.

These devious (and creepy) robot asps are able to slither around, seeking the enemy, and when it finds them, sends audio and video back while trying to convince Adam to take a bite of the apple.

Better yet, you can pack the robo-viper full of explosives, let it wriggle up next to any enemy emplacement, then detonate it like a bangalore torpedo. Boom.
