Is that an AR-15 action without upper receiver, stock or barrel? Why test fire just that?

Nevermind, I read the article. Oh just lovely, a completely plastic printable gun action. I bet its inaccurate as hell but doubt that matters much to terrorists.

Terrorists don't seem to have a lot of trouble obtaining traditionally manufactured firearms.

And considering what 3-D printers cost...

A good, clean, untraceable gun that you can toss in a fire after you are done murdering.

Oh, I see. I forget not everybody lives in a city with a huge-ass river.

A fire would be even better since the plastic firearm is destroyed. Tossing it in a river merely hides it and it might be found later.

Saint Paul cops dumped too much of their own dirty laundry in that river to go dredging it.

I'll bet you $10 we have a similar plastic gun type news worthy item within 5 years.
<edit> I should have said misuse of similar plastic gun - robbery, assault, murder, some sort of mayhem.

If you want to set the bar for misuse as "dude got convicted" you have a bet.

Given the speed of our judicial system, that might not happen in five years. Somebody would have to be arrested for an infraction within one year to expect a conviction in five. If we're betting based on conviction, make that 9 years from today and you have a bet.

Deal

By the way, there's now a free, non subscription version of Office for iOS.

That's awesome.

Also, "stoned... Hehehe"

I like that brickwork.

Also - The MBARI (fault mapping geologists) researchers found an old shipwreck off Santa Cruz / Monterey, CA.

That's incredibly dangerous riding a locomotive like that. If his jacket gets caught in some gearing he'll be abruptly pulled off and crushed.

Hah, nice bubbles in the ice pic. Can we get a link to a pic suitable for desktops?

Kirk, I think you're a little late with the warning.

Well yes, however there are similarly stupid possibilities in our modern day. For example don't lean in near a running drill press when wearing a tie or lanyard around your neck.

Watch out for the office shredder!

Thats why you wear a bow tie.

He was known to "eyeball" many of his stunts --including the one where the house facade falls around him.
In The General there is a part where he is doing a stunt with an actual mortar --fuse lit and everything--he has his head right in front of it and at the right moment, turned it so he got a shot directly at the moving locomotive. One take.

Wow. I bet they make a movie of that. John Malkovich will be Landis.

Thought there'd be more to Wallenda's act.

Screen-capture vs. what appeared on movie posters/cover of DVD:

Yeah, she was wasted off that they enlarged her breasts.
