Because everybody deserves the right to shoot animals , a 46-year old quadriplegic will now be hunting in New Jersey with the assistance of a mouth -operated 12-gauge shotgun . Jamie Cap, 46, was injured in an accident 30 years ago while playing American football. A head-on tackle resulted in a neck injury that left him a quadriplegic and robbed him of hunting, one of his passions. “I don’t know if there are words,” he said. “I’m so happy. When you find you can do something again after 30 years, you can’t put a price on that. Some people think it’s nothing, but try being paralysed for 30 years and then come talk to me.” For a quadriplegic, firing a shotgun requires help from a companion. In Mr Cap’s case, a friend sets up the contraption, safety on, on Mr Cap’s wheelchair and Mr Cap aims the shotgun by moving the toggle switch with his mouth. Once his partner releases the safety, Mr Cap fires by sipping on the breathing tube. BLAM! *bleeding* Damnit. Jamie. Coke. on. right. US quadriplegic man wins right to go hunting [telegraph] Thanks to Malice, who feels sorry for New Jersey deer, but only because they live in Jersey.

I haven’t decided if the new XM-25 will be a useful weapon against the robotic uprising yet, but I’m leaning towards *pew pew* . Hook me up government , I pay my damn taxes. Well, I did last year anyways. The system is clever enough to detonate its exploding 25mm bullets within 3 feet of their targets, picking off unfortunate foes with uncanny accuracy, even when they’re hiding behind obstacles. After calculating the target’s distance with a laser rangefinder, this lethal weapon sends a radio signal to a chip inside the bullet. That brilliant projectile can precisely measure the distance it’s traveled, exploding at precisely the right distance for maximum killage. Oh shit yeah I need one of these. Maximum killage, that’s what I’m talking about. You here that, Skynet — MAXIMUM KILLAGE. I will ride into battle atop my trusty tyrannosaur steed and pew pew your shit all up. Then, my mount will dine on all the dead Terminators while I reach around him for a job well done. XM-25 rifle shoots tiny laser-targeted smart bombs [dvice]

These custom painted Metal Gear Solid shoes were made by UCLA student and artist Jacob Patterson (no relation to Robert Pattinson) and shown off at the E3 convention. I want like four for each foot . You know, because I have big feet. Ladies, that wink was for you. He is apparently going to talk with Kojima and team to discuss the possibility of mass-producing these shoes via the Puma brand. So if things go well expect to be able to buy these at a store near you sometime in the future! Well I usually only wear flip flips and aqua socks, but I’d make an exception for these bad boys. And speaking of bad boys — I’ve been one lately. Now which one of you lovely ladies wants to ride on my motorcycle . And by motorcycle I mean lawn mower. And by ‘ride on’ I mean cut the backyard. Any takers? Come on — I’ll make lemonade! Hit the jump for two closeups.

The world’s strongest laser was unveiled in California last week. It’s not actually a single laser though, it’s 192 individual ones all focused on the same spot. Cheating! It’s going to be used to ensure the US nuclear weapon stockpile is still functional in case Russia starts bitching out. Also, some space shit. The super laser, officially known as the National Ignition Facility, was unveiled Friday before thousands of people at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Beginning next year scientists will use the laser for experiments aimed at creating controlled fusion reactions similar to those found in the sun. “More energy will be produced by this ignition process than the amount of laser energy required to start it. This is the long-sought goal of energy gain that has been the goal of fusion researchers for more than half a century,” said NIF director Edward Moses. ‘National Ignition Facility’? That’s the worst name ever. Why wasn’t there a contest to get to name the thing? Because it’ll always be the PEWINATOR to me. Which, haha, is the same thing I named my junk penis. But seriously, don’t stare directly at it. World’s strongest laser unveiled at Calif. lab [sfgate] Thanks to Watch-303, catch22, Luis, Doug, Hunter and Phil, who did stare directly at it and paid the price. $10.

Geekologie Reader Ike, the same one who successfully played poker on a roller coaster, went and made himself a lightsaber . Although, truthfully, it was modeled after Travis Touchdown’s beam katana from No More Heroes . Ike made me promise not to tell you how he made it, but suffice it to say there were lasers and smoke and selling your soul to a sorcerer involved. Here’s a real fun tidbit- with enough money (I think about $600) I could make this sucker burn. That’s right! Fully functional lightsaber! It also extends and spins. Woot. Nice, Ike, I want one. Except mine MUST be of the burning variety. How else am I gonna start a fire while camping — rubbing two sticks together? Pfft, what do I look like, a cub-scout? I AM ALL MAN-SCOUT! Don’t believe me? I’ve humped bears before . Haha, admit it, Yogi. Hit the jump for a couple videos of the saber/katana in action, including one with some Travis Touchdown cosplay.

Archie, after like a million years of trying to bone both Veronica and Betty , is committing himself to one woman, Veronica. *sniff* Don’t do it bro, don’t do it. Why buy the cow when you can do everything on the farm , know what I’m saying? I’m talking goats AND chickens here, bro. In what’s being billed the “Archie Story of the Century,” perennially indecisive loverboy Archie Andrews has finally chosen the raven-haired Veronica Lodge over sunny girl-next-door Betty Cooper, according to the official Archie Comics website. “Could it be true? Has Archie finally decided to take the plunge and propose to comics’ favourite rich girl? It sure looks that way!” read a note posted online Wednesday. Sure it looks that way, but nothing is what it seems…IN THE TWILIGHT ZONE *dum dum dum — doot doot dum dum dum dum dum!* . The whole fiasco will be spread out over six comics (issues # 600-605) and culminate in Veronica catching Archie and Betty together (in a sexually suggestive situation) the night before their wedding and then locking the two in a hotel room and burning the building to the ground. The last panel will be Veronica giving Jughead a little hand action in the car while a fire engine races past. Archie shocker: Comic book hero picks Veronica [cbanews] Thanks to spiderkitten, who totally agrees I’d make a great comic book writer.

Wow, they’re not even trying to make them look cute anymore. The Japanese born ROBOTOPS is a construction robot whose name is spelled in all caps because IT MEANS BUSINESS. The killing business. The four-legged, two-armed robot is actually a kind of automated mobile crane with 29 functioning joints for picking off humans, and of course the occasional piece of construction material. Using a high quality three-chip CCD camera, the robot can be operated remotely for particularly dangerous jobs. And no, I didn’t alter that quote at all. Finally, people are starting to get the picture. It’s comforting to know I’m not the only one that sees a problem here. Seriously, Japan — you know I love you (manga, sushi, worn panty vending machines), but this shit has got to stop. Because if not, well, Godzilla . Just sayin’, we share a special bond (read: intercourse). Japanese construction firm unleashes insectoid robot crane on humanity [dvice] Thanks to cougar78, Aaron and John, who know the only good robots are the little guys from Batteries Not Included . Am I right? No, that was a test and you all failed.

The army is testing out a new robotic-helicopter mounted sniper rifle for urban warfare because, well, CONSPIRACY! Are you ready for this? Our government is….are you sitting down? Our government is….ROBOTS! AAAAAHH! Did you hear that? I thought I heard something. It’s called the Autonomous Rotorcraft Sniper System. It mounts a powerful rifle onto highly stabilized turret, and fixes the package on board a Vigilante unmanned helicopter. The system is intended for the urban battlefield — an eye in the sky that can stare down concrete canyons, and blink out targets with extreme precision. Attempting to return fire against the ARSS is liable to be a near-suicidal act: ARSS is described as being able to fire seven to 10 aimed shots per minute, and it’s unlikely to miss. Thankfully, the system is not autonomous (yet) and relies on a ground-based pilot with AN XBOX 360-LIKE CONTROLLER to maneuver and fire. Haha, and everyone said all those hours headshotting prepubscent boys in Halo wouldn’t get you anywhere! *sniff* I’m just so proud, you little army of one, you! Army Tests Flying Robo-Sniper [wired] Thanks to Bo, Lethak, WunderKraut, jk and Todd, who, BOOM, headshot!
