Exploding dye toy grenade: four words that really shouldn't go together, but sound so much fun when they do. A new patent shows a design that has a working time-delay pin, and a compressed air canister to blow the powder and dye contents liberally around once the shell splits in two.

But of course, something this cool only exists in Japan. [Trends In

Hand Grenade Oil Lamp

We're thinking there must not be much of a need for grenades in Iraq, where the troops spend most of their time waiting around for car bombs to go off. Maybe that's why there are a lot of surplus grenades floating around, and now they've been made into useful objects: oil lamps available in gold, silver, or in their natural state. Like most weaponry, they're made in the USA. You pay $40 to give the impression that you're intimately familiar with military hardware. More »
