By George! Who would have thought that dragons actually exist in this day and age? Wait a minute here, it is not as though we have concrete proof (biological ones) that dragons existed in the past other than in drawings and folklore. Well, if you think that you have a cool $60,000 lying around, then you might want to be the best house in the neighborhood for kids to visit during Halloween this year with the Flying Fire Breathing Dragon.
Yes sir, this particular remote controlled jet-powered dragon is capable of soaring through the air at up to 70 mph, and it is also able to breathe out fire of its own thanks to propane from within. The dragon comes with LED eyes that can be commanded to glow red while it emits a fiery 3′ blast of flame from a cleverly concealed (and flight-disabled) propane tank and igniter that has been specially built into its toothy maw. A miniature turbine engine constructed and embedded within the beast’s chest would be able to offer enough thrust that exits the rear at 500 mph, and a 10 minute flight results in 1/2 gallon of jet aircraft fuel or kerosene.
Use this to enact your very own Desolation of Smaug scenes right in the comfort of your very own backyard, just be extra careful at where you point the flames!

Picture this: you’re on your way to work with your briefcase in one hand and a cup of coffee on the other. Suddenly, the skies go dark and it starts raining cats and dogs. You reach for your umbrella and then you realize you have to get rid of something because you aren’t exactly born with three hands. Sadly, it’s the coffee that ultimately has to go…
Solving this problem are Andrew Tan, Mike Elam, Jordan Schlipf and their Morella.
It’s essentially a cup holder that attaches to the handle of your umbrella. It’s got a gimbal mechanism to ensure that your cups always stay level and don’t spill. That way, you can carry your drink (and even an extra one!) while holding your umbrella with one hand and whatever else you need to carry in the other.
The cool part about it is that you can use it with umbrellas that are in use (as in the picture) or closed, so you can just stick your umbrella into the ground and transform it into a drink stand.
Morella is currently up for funding on Kickstarter, where a minimum pledge of £10 (~$16 USD) will get you both a single cup and a double cup Morella.
Remember: With Morella, you’ll be able to do more-ella with your umbrella! (Was it that bad? Sorry, I couldn’t resist!)

Advantageous hunters in Alaska have one less advantage after the state’s Board of Game approved a measure that prohibits the use of drones to spot animals. Now they’ll just have to rely on their special camouflage clothing, high-powered rifles, and high-powered handheld cameras to kill unsuspecting beasts.
