Battle Hoth-Like Winter Mornings With This Wampa Arm Ice Scraper [Star Wars]
Posted in: Today's Chili If there’s any creature that knows how to deal with ice and cold, it’s the Wampa from The Empire Strikes Back.

Motion-Activated Electric Screwdriver Anticipates Your Movements Before You Make Them [Video]

Turn your hand clockwise and the bit drives, turn your hand counter-clockwise and the bit goes in reverse. Superfluous?
