Ion Cannon Could Be Used To Destroy Space Debris

Posted: 28 Oct 2011 08:51 AM PDT

Okay, fine. So Ion Cannons aren’t happening any time soon. Besides, unless China builds a working Star Destroyer knock off, it won’t have a viable use. That doesn’t mean giant lasers with incredible range will never come to be. Aerospace today might not be a frantic as it once was, but fast developing fields are still eliciting much excitement. Other than commercialized space flight, a lot of scientists and engineers are trying to solve our chronic space degree problem.

The World Joyland World Of Warcraft Theme Park Is A Must Visit (Video)

Posted: 27 Oct 2011 03:17 PM PDT

It does exist. It does exist! In reality it’s more like a World of Warcraft and Starcraft-themed amusement park where thinly veiled characters from both games are given a Chinese makeover. The worst part is the whole venture is a Blizzard rip-off. By ‘rip-off’ is not meant mere product piracy and its attendant copyright infringement, but whole chunks of the WoW and Star Craft games used in a sprawling amusement park.

We’re referring to rides, statues, and entire building constructed to resemble the stuff you see in the games. The only thing missing are tank-bred zerglings that you can pet.

Until you taste the food it produces, of course. Nah, kidding! It’s a concept anyway so we can only assume the best at this point. Oh yeah, in case you missed it, it’s a kitchen and home system. The whole point is to harness the power of certain kitchen byproducts like sewage so that it’s put to better use elsewhere in the house. Sounds gross, but it makes a lot of sense.
