How to Lose Your Arm: DIY Wrist Mounted Flamethrower

YouTube user ShockSlayer is on a mission to create a wrist mounted flamethrower; also known as a voluntary attempt to blow off your own arm. His rig is an aerosol can strapped to his wrist, which is then connected with some tubing and string. He has to light the pilot with a torch to get the flame dispenser going, but he does say it's a work in progress, so I won't harp too much on the construction. Basically what I'm getting at is; there is now way I would strap that thing to my arm. I spent the entire video waiting for his mom to walk out in a nightgown and freak the fuck out... that definitely would've made watching this more exciting. Keep up the work, and maybe one day you can match the craftsmanship we've seen before.

A Lazy Man's Dream: Robotic Butler and Fridge

The Beverage Delivery System is a project being developed by Chuck's robo-scientist brother Steve Norris at Norris Labs. He's tackling the ever-so-important task of forcing bitch-ass-robots to bring us drinks. We might as well get all our licks in now... you know, before the autonomous reign of our robot overlords begins. I will have to say that I'm quite disappointed in the use of Fresca. Nobody in the history of time has been too lazy to get up and get a Fresca... unless you're developing a Vodka Bot™ that mixes said Fresca into a delicious beverage, then I will gladly shut the fuck up. Please Steve, next time you film your totally badass creation, make sure it is accurately portraying what it it will inevitably be used for; delivering BEER to the lazy. All joking aside, this is really impressive and totally cool. Please sign me up for the R2-D2 themed version as soon as it becomes available.

Giant 45,888 Calorie Kit Kat

The Kit Kat logo was cut from a floor tile, then placed in reverse on the bottom of a wallpaper dipping trough. About 1/3 of the melted chocolate was then poured into the container. Wafers were carefully arranged on top of the first layer of goodness, then covered with the remaining chocolate. After being placed in the fridge to harden, the 23"L x 6.7"W x 4.7"H behemoth Kit Kat was complete. At 45,888 calories, and 1860g of saturated fat, you might want to split this candy bar with at least one other person.
