The ThermaHelm motorcycle helmet keeps your brain on ice in the event of an accident . That’s important because if you’ll recall those anti-drug commercials from yesteryear: a cooked egg brain is no good. Except with buttered toast. I say throw a halved grapefruit into the mix and I’m….damnit, stay focused, GW. The ThermaHelm is a carbon-fiber lid with two lightweight chemical packs — one water, the other ammonium nitrate — built into the lining of the helmet. In the event of impact, the contents of the two packs mix together, triggering a cooling reaction. The $490 invention will be launched in the UK in May this year, and they are already developing a more sophisticated version which, at $815, will include a video camera, GPS and Bluetooth. Well I don’t know about you, but there’s no price too high to pay for my heath. Unless insurance won’t cover it, in which case, I want you to pull the plug. I’m not waking up to a million dollar medical bill. I’d rather go bang dinos in space heaven. ThermaHelm ice pack helmet saves lives and frozen peas [dvice]

You just freeze a mint flavored Mento in an ice cube and then make a drink for a friend (read: enemy). Any artificially sweetened soda should work, but preferably something darker so the frozen Mento isn’t so obvious. Then, a few minutes later when the Mento is exposed to the soda, BOOOSH! Alternatively, garnish your friend’s glass with a live hand grenade. Mix an Exploding Drink [wired] Thanks to Towhee Monster, who once bit a Snap-N-Pop to make it explode because she’s hardcore.
