For the last few years, NASA physicist Harold White and his team have been working on the design for a faster than light speed spaceship. A recent collaboration with artist Mark Rademaker has yielded the visuals for an updated model, a ship nestled at the center of two enormous rings, which create the ‘warp bubble’.

White discusses the concept and the ship in the above video (starting at around 42:00 if you want to cut straight to the chase)

Naturally, it’s called Enterprise.

No, not a spoof viral for an upcoming zombie apocalypse flick but the gleeful and terrifying promo for armament developer G2 Research’s new and highly controversial Radically Invasive Projectile, the G2 RIP, released early this year – a bullet featuring tiny knife-like ‘trocars’ that penetrate and shred flesh.

Initially marketed at women in the home as a ‘one-shot man-stopper’, it’s designed to take out ‘all vital organs’, creating a massive exit wound in the process.

Bruce Campbell (no, not that Bruce Campbell) is a retired engineer who has transformed a decommissioned Boeing 727 fuselage into a home in the 10-acre woods he owns outside Portland Oregon. He paid $220,000 for the plane – about ten times the cost of the land on which it rests, propped up on concrete plinths.

Bruce, who lives in Japan for half the year, is currently seeking a 747 body for a similar conversion project there.
