Aside the fact that it's easy as balls to spot from a mile away thanks to its impressive heft and blue hue, Domonique Torrence's Spider-Man-inspired pepper spray bracelet comes close to being a useful idea. It's loaded with pepper spray cartridges, so you just slam the button in your palm to disperse the mild irritant into your attacker's face or other body part(s) without fishing around in your purse for a can. It's coming out later this year for 30 bucks, and if nothing else, it'll match your similarly bulky, ugly Crocs. [Local6 via CG]

Top 12 Guns for Geeks and Gadget Goons
After the appalling tragedy in Salt Lake City earlier this week where an 18-year-old gunman began indiscriminately shooting people to death, our thoughts drifted toward arming ourselves to the teeth.

A concept shoe named the Electric Cinderella Shoe looks like an everyday, attractive looking pair of shoes that no girl would feel embarrassed to wear. There is a catch, however, designed to teach Mr. Wrong a very valuable lesson: don't mess with this señorita. For once our fair lady breaks the shoe's glass toe, a 100,000-volt surge of electricity greets her foil, telling him ever so subtly that she doesn't appreciate his uncouth behavior. Keeping in mind that the Electric Cinderella is only a concept, we should mention that the zap of electricity only works once, afterwards you're on your own.
