International Space Station Tour

In her final days as Commander of the International Space Station, Sunita Williams of NASA recorded this extensive tour - its bit like an office farewell really, before her commute home - via the Soyuz Spacecraft.

Mixing 3D Printing And Sculpture With Real World Objects

*Amazing* Think of the cool surreal sculptures street artists could do with this technique - we'll be discovering art in all sorts of unexpected places, scratching our heads mumbling 'Lego? It's not... is it?". Banksy could do some superb thought provoking stuff that would turn everyday objects into priceless pieces, if he can find strong enough glue. At last, stone masons can accurately fix brickwork and statues, replacing missing limbs, heads other bits on ancient artifacts, but that's boring. 3D print Terminator's robotic hand and stick it on Nelson, add a double bass instead of a bow for Eros and of course, a massive 99 ice cream cone complete with Cadbury flake for Liberty, that's more like it. Cue advertisers..

Harmless Shelf Unit Is Hiding Something Nasty (Not The Titanic Box Set)

If you live in the United States, you MUST have this shelving unit in your front room - it looks like some pretty harmless Ikea model doesn't it? Er, no. This is the USA.

As we all know in the UK, if you live in the USA you need to have guns, and lots of them. Guns to protect yourself, your family, your property and your rights to carry a gun, if someone else with a gun should come near and threaten you, your family, your property - or presumingly, your rights to carry a gun. So why not get more guns that the potential person that should dare do this, and hide them in this shelf. Great idea.

'Where?' I hear you say. Well, watch this video. Hopefully the American owner of such a unit would be able to run to the shelf, remember how to open the arsenal before the American owner of another gun enters the room and wonders why the home owner is suddenly fiddling with their pretty harmless Ikea shelf.

I'd hate to live in a place where you are under such a constant and real threat of being shot, you'd need enough guns in your front room to arm a small terrorist cell.
