Fire extinguishers are pretty easy to operate, but let’s face it, in life there’s always one guy who doesn’t get it, no matter how simple. So we need an extinguisher that even an idiot can use. The SAT119 will do the trick. It’s a Japanese invention. Just throw the SAT119 on a nearby fire and it is gone.

Of course you better throw it in the right spot and not miss. Okay, so it is nearly idiot-proof. It’s basically just a chemical mix that reacts instantly once released from its container. The blue liquid unleashes carbon dioxide that snuffs the oxygen right out of the fire. No oxygen, no fire. Right now the SAT119 is only good for small contained fire though. This could be pretty handy to have in an emergency however. Maybe to put out a fire in one small room.

If you have a love of all things grenade, then check out this Grenade USB drive. It measures in at 60mm x 30mm x 30mm and weighs just 15grams. What it lacks in explosives, it makes up for with 4GB of storage space.

The Grenade USB drive is available in black, white, blue and orange and they look totally fake. Of course that doesn’t mean you can safely put them in your luggage and take them to the airport. They frown on all fake weapons.

Obviously you shouldn’t try this at home. It’s not a real smart idea to start modding live grenades. This one was an inert hand grenade, therefore the creator still walks among us. Ingredients? 1 inert grenade, a 1GB Sansa MP3 player and a hacksaw. That’s all you need.

If this sort of lethal DIY project interests you, you can try your hand at making one. Just don’t lose your hand…er…arm. Torso. It looks like a fairly simple build and a basic description can be found in the link below if you want to have a look. This is one of those Field of Dreams deals. You know, “If you build it, they will come”. They, being the FBI, local police, Homeland Security etc.

I’m not sure if I could use this mouse. For one thing, the urge to pull the pin would be too great and I would be afraid of it going off in my hand since it was apparently made from an old grenade casing. Though I suppose it’s more likely to kill your wrist with it’s anti-ergonomics.

The guy who modded it even wired up the trigger as the left mouse button. It might be good for those with sensitive data on their computer though. If you have the need, just pull the pin and run, hopefully blowing the hell out of everything. War, huh, good god yo, what is it good for? Absolutely nothin’ ‘cept for making a mouse. Sing it with me.

Since the summer began my house has been besieged by woodpeckers. The birds pecked on my house until they have actually made holes in the eaves. I really want to get rid of the little red head birds, but I don’t want to just go postal on them.

Despite the fact that I don’t want to just kill them, I wouldn’t mind knocking them a bit senseless and the M4 3181 AEG Airsoft Rifle with M203 Spring Grenade launched might do just the trick. Yeah, it has got one seriously long name but is there any denying how cool it looks?

It takes a special kind of nerd guy to strap a hand grenade to their wrist. First off it’s bound to be heavy thanks to it’s stainless steel case contruction. Plus it’s bound to get you all kinds of weird looks as you flip it open to see the time.

Chuck Norris may be the only person in the world that this looks appropriate on. It’s even water-resistant up to 3ATM, which comes in handy when you are pretending to be a Navy Seal. Comes in Army Green or Matte Black finishes with either a skinny canvas or wide leather and canvas wristband. They start around $125 each.

Attention all you Halo 3 lovers – you can now carry your game pride around on your shoulder as you haul around your laptop day to day. Master Chief says to outfit yourself with this new Halo 3 Messenger Bag, priced at around $40.

The Halo 3 Messenger Bag, when not busy hold your plasma grenades, has enough room to store a 15-inch laptop. There are six zippered compartments and velcroed interior compartments – plenty of space to store extra ammo or your iPod.

This little Pinqy fire extinguisher looks more like something dangerous than something that will save you in an emergency. The grenade-shaped extinguisher is only 14 cm tall and is lightweight but packs the same pressure as a larger 1kg extinguisher. It obviously doesn’t pack the same volume though and the company recommends it as a handy gadget “when you have the beginnings of a fire at hand”.

It has a gauge that can be regularly checked for pressure and is small enough to be stored just about anywhere, such as a cupboard, car, boat or desk. …

The developers at LucasArts aren’t just about making games with lightsabers and TIE Fighters in them. A case in point comes in the shape of “Fracture”, one of their new titles now in development and slated for a mid-2008 release on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Under development by Day 1 Studios, you step into the boots of Mason Briggs, a soldier from the mid 22nd century that uses weapons that can deform and manipulate the terrain around you to turn a physical disadvantage into a strategic advantage.

Suppose that …
