If you want to be sure that the security goons don the rubber gloves and get physical the next time you go to an airport, try going through with one of these.
The Grenade USB drive comes in black, blue, white and orange making them look deliciously fake to even the untrained eye, but keep in mind that colors don’t come out on X-rays.
Price: $20 [Slippery Brick]

The Vestal Grenade Watch is designed to look like a grenade strapped to your wrist. Flipping the top open will reveal that it is not actually a “device.” Just remember that law enforcement types are more inclined to shoot you than taze you if they think that you are carrying explosives; they don’t want to risk the current from the Taser causing the explosives to detonate.

I doubt that one could find a more attention grabbing jewelry case anywhere. The “Estuche” is the work of Cuban artists Los Carpinteros. As far as I am aware this is a one of a kind design. At 88 5/8 x 51 1/8 x 51 1/8 inches, it would pack a rather enormous jewelry collection, which is fitting as Los Carpinteros works are currently fetching big bucks on the international art circuit.

I have spent the last couple of weeks with a store bought copy of Call of Duty 4 and I have to say that it is without a doubt the greatest first person shooter I have ever played. Single player was a lot of fun, but once I switched it onto multi-player the party began. There are a lot of different multi-player modes. Search and Destroy is perhaps the most challenging, with one life only, die and you are out. Free-For-All mode is a whole lot of fun and some of the other game types are too. I have spent most of my time in free for all mode as I wanted to complete the different weapons challenges. You get a lot more kills in free for all, so you can clear the challenges faster.
Like most online shooters, you are awarded different guns as you progress through the ranks. With COD4 there are a lot of guns and a lot of different rewards. An interesting addition to this game is the “perks.” Perks are different advantages that you are awarded as you advance through the ranks. By far the most useful is Martyrdom, where you drop a live grenade every time you die. About half the time, you will take someone with you. As you rise through the ranks, get more powerful weapons and develop better skills, however, there are other perks that make things interesting. A bandoleer gives you extra ammunition and double tap doubles your rate of fire. Before you know it you have your gun kitted out with add ons, you have tweaked your perks just so and you have developed your skills to the point that you are an unstoppable fragging machine. (more…)

The concept is simple – an alarm clock shaped like a hand grenade that you can throw to shut off. Think of how satisfying it would be to hurl your alarm clock against the wall at 6 am. A fitting punishment for its treachery if you ask me.
As you can see, the manufacturer also makes a soccer and baseball version of the clock, but for my money you can’t beat the visceral experience throwing a grenade can offer.
