There are a few reasons to post a DIY project. First, there’s the cool factor—mounting TVs inside stuffed, dead kittens, making a car that floats, etc. Then there’s the “why?” factor—turning a can of tuna into a mini-PC, giving worms to ex-girlfriends. Then there’s the “He’ll Get Hit By Lightning” factor, of which this DIY has plenty.

Reader Robert sent us this interesting cellphone antenna made of a pipe full of nails and a coaxial cable. You can just imagine him out in a rain storm getting great reception until he gets a bolt straight to the brain.
