Make your own lock picks
Video that shows you how to make lock picks. When you're done fabbing those, head to the grocery store to buy a disposable electric toothbrush to make a vibrating lockpick. Then spend a whole lotta time trying to learn how to pick locks!

Camera Grenade
Satugo is a concept product which claims to be the worlds first Bouncing ball camera. It will take a picture when it hits the ground after throwing it, or after a preset time if you toss it in the air. It seems like a interesting idea if it could be implemented in a way that would allow it to be robust enough to hold up to being lobbed around, getting wet, dirty, hitting the ground hard etc. Doesn't seem very feasible. This concept product, if anything, gives me the impression it would be most suited to 'guerilla' photography - just look at the shape and think about the concept: It's grenade shaped, with something that looks like a 'pin' and made for throwing. You can throw it into a situation and take photos in a place you might not be able to get into - over walls, round corners, down ducts. Don't be surprised if you get arrested as a terrorist after lobbing this thing around in public places.

I say … Fucitol
This list of chemical compounds with unusual names on Wikipedia has some pretty funny entries like Fucitol and Arsole. By far the best is Crapinon - an anticholinergic drug, one side effect of which is constipation. You'll need the rsstroom reader to keep you occupied if you take that puppy.
