Matt from NYC Resistor shows Hackaday a decommissioned hand grenade transformed into a personal MP3 player. It may not be as popular as the iPod but it would be wise to NOT purchase this for your 13yrd son.
Is it just me or was there a lot of historical undertones of post-war in there?
For some reason unknown, a group of adults decided to get together and see what happens to kids under extreme temptation and pressure. If you find children mentally struggling under pressure as entertaining as I do. You just might enjoy this video.

Birds on the Wires from Jarbas Agnelli on Vimeo.
A normal person sees these birds perched on electrical wires and worries about getting crapped on. Jarbas Agnel looks at them and sees musical notes. Maybe he’s smarter than the rest of us because the melody is utterly oh-so-sweet-that-I-could-doze-off-right-now.
Agnel explains that he was simply curious about what sort of tune he could create by transcribing the birds into musical notes. I’m more curious about what would happen if he tried the same with the freckles on someone’s back. [gizmodo]
With another one of those recent government study thingys, it was found in all 15 different brands of baby formula. The chemical found in rocket fuel is called perchlorate. Although deemed safe by the Environmental Protection Agency, I’m sure you won’t be finding it in your mothers tits anytime soon.
Perchlorate is the main chemical used for blasting rockets into space and launching heat seeking missiles you see in those Arnold Schwarzenegger films. A nice little side effect from perchlorate is the fuck up of thyroid hormones through the absorption of its iodine.
In case you wondering about how the hell this happens, the rocket fuel flows into the water supply of 35 different states which goes to grass and then gets eaten by cows. But look at the bright side, you might have rocket fuel in your balls! “Get’m boys!”

A few years ago actor Jason David Frank was used to hearing the familiar sound of fans yelling, “Go, go Power Rangers!” but now he’s ready to hear the roar of a different crowd.
The former action star from the hit series “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” has officially made the move to mixed martial arts, and while training with UFC lightweight Melvin Guillard, he hopes to make his real fighting experience as successful as he did on television.
Frank signed on with Suckerpunch Entertainment recently and hopes to make his professional debut in the very near future.
“I was supposed to fight in 2007, but it fell through. In truth, I’ve wanted to put the work in until I’m ready,” Frank said in an interview from the Suckerpunch website. “I know I have a target on my back. Everyone is going to want to beat up the Green Ranger. But I am no Kimbo; I’ve been training for a very long time. I wanted to get in there before, but I got injured. But I’ll be ready when the time comes.”
The actor-turned-fighter is adding a ground game to what he believes is already an impressive stand-up resume, but he knows it’s a long road to not only becoming a mixed martial artist, but a successful mixed martial artist.
“My style was missing the ground fighting. I have my blue belt in BJJ from Gracie Baja now, but we needed to have that ground game integrated into Tose Kune Do. There was a blank there. So we added wrestling, BJJ, etc., to it,” Frank said. “Melvin Guillard has really helped add the wrestling. I needed to get with someone who could put it all together for me, and that was Saul Soliz. And he’s done it. He’s a good, hardcore trainer.”
Proud of his time as the Green Ranger on the popular television show, Frank is ready to move onto new goals, and he hopes to conquer MMA the same way he did television.
“Just to go out there and do my best, and prove that I’m a real fighter,” Frank said about his goals in MMA. “I’m not looking for any titles specifically. Ultimately, I want to give my fans something to watch and be proud of.”

His theme song better be “Go Green Ranger, Go!” That would make me happy.
