Apparently building radio-controlled model airplanes isn’t just about having a fun hobby; it’s also about bombing shit. This plug-n-play system includes a 1:6 scale, 103 gram bomb that operates using a servo wire connected to a spare channel on your radio. It also splits in half in order to carry virtually any payload you wish and comes complete with an impact protector and a bomb release pod that ensures a positive release every time. Why do I get the feeling these things will be horribly misused?
Man, the Chinese army doesn’t stand a chance if their battlefield communications consist of 10-foot tall cellphones. However, on a small scale, it does make for an interesting cellphone holder.

Happy Man is very excited to open any bottle for you. You might think that smile would turn into a frown as you use his appendage to rip the cap off a bottle, but there is no change in expression at all. One caveat to keep women from being disillusioned: the happy man’s features are not to scale.
