It’s been one of those weeks folks, so I decided that we needed a new game around here and the Stress Relief Paintball game seemed like just the trick!
The premise of this game is that you fire paintballs at happy faces that appear all over your office. You’ve got to be fairly accurate and hit several of the smilies in order to move on to the next level. Just use your mouse to aim and fire!
Hint: You can reload your paint ball gun in the bottom right corner. So give it a try!

All right already… I know this game is not the Bubble Shooter game - but hear me out. It’s still pretty darn amusing!
Do you remember the original game of pong? You know, you used a couple of paddle controllers and there was a little ball which bounced back and forth and kept going faster and faster?

Say hello to the newest weapon in the US Military’s arsenal. The good news? It’s non-lethal! The bad news? If you get hit by it you’ll wish you were dead until it stops.
The new Active Denial System which produces what experimenters call the “Goodbye effect,” or “prompt and highly motivated escape behavior.” In human tests, most subjects reached their pain threshold within 3 seconds, and none of the subjects could endure more than 5 seconds.

I have got to get me one of these…
First, the “documentary” portion of the show. In this video clip we learn about the history, construction and operation of the infamous beer cannon. It’s so cool that towards the end of the video you can see that the whole neighborhood has come out to see it in operation.

Just imagine getting up for work one day and putting on your wetsuit like “second skin”, made from a space age nanoparticle technology which was custom fit to your body by literally pouring it on and letting it dry. If you’re a police officer or soldier, this may be exactly how you start your day if the folks at Armor Holdings have anything to say about it.
That’s because their new liquid armor is a thin, light, material which is knife and bullet resistant. The material, made of a shear thickening fluid that harden when a sudden force is applied, is light, flexible and solidifies on impact. While this material may not supplant Kevlar, it certainly adds a valuable layer of protection for our service men and women. In fact, it’s already being used by Olympic Skiers.
