The first test firing of a (mostly) plastic gun dubbed Liberator which was printed using a second hand Stratasys Dimension SST 3D printer with a small nail being the only metal part.
The gun did explode on a second firing with a higher caliber bullet.
Nothing to worry about.

A very passable overlaid cover indeed of the Daft Punk hit du jour by British musician George Barnett.
YouTuber and dancin’ fool Takaske attempts the highest difficulty level (and a setting involving both sets of footpads) on the DanceDanceRevolutionX3 arcade game.

Youtuber Sarah Ellen (who achieved internet fame a few years ago with her genuinely phenomenal ‘dancing eyebrows’ viral) seamlessly matches her facial expressions to the mouth movements of Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit “Sweet Talk” iOS app.
A 14m tall 16.7m long inflatable duck created by conceptual artist Florentijn Hofman was towed into Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour this week, and will remain on display there until June, spreading teh happy, unless it’s destroyed by Gojira first.
The artist sez:
The Rubber Duck knows no frontiers, it doesn’t discriminate people and doesn’t have a political connotation. The friendly, floating Rubber Duck has healing properties: it can relieve mondial tensions as well as define them. The rubber duck is soft, friendly and suitable for all ages!
Thanks Niall O’M

Added bonus – a photo of the moon ushering in the dawn over the US.
His daughter lives in Dublin, don’t you know.
Water rockets don’t soak people.
People holding water rockets like RPG launchers soak people.
Another in a long line of insta-buys, if real (which, sadly, this isn’t) – a LEGOised Breaking Bad game.
