More Dangerous Real Life Superpowers

In the tradition of homemade Wolverine claws, here is an even more dangerous DIY superpower.

Don't try this at home, kids! Unless you really want to, in which case detailed instructions can be found here.

Please use these powers for good, or at least lawful neutral. What I want to know is who would win in a fight between this guy and the Wolverine claws guy. I think Wolvie is more likely to inflict harm without burning his own arm off in the process, but I'm willing to hear other theories.

Homemade Wolverine Claws! The Scourge of Cardboard Boxes!

This guy obviously really enjoyed X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I guess someone was bound to. Either way, this ingenious geek was not content to sit around and wonder what it would be like to slice up cardboard boxes with kickass retractable wolverine claws... he went out and did something about it! Something that could probably get him arrested if he shows them in public, but something indeed! He is an inspiration to us all. Empty cardboard boxes beware!

*Editor's note: for the record, I don't mean to impugn upon this geek's reputation-he probably didn't like X-Men Origins: Wolverine

DIY Hard Drive Clock

If you've got a spare hard drive laying around and a blank space on your wall, consider making one of these sweet lookin' hard drive clocks. There are full instructions at Instructables, and as complex as this looks the directions seem pretty straightforward. There's a separate Instructable for disassembling your hard drive if you need help with that step (which will also yield some super-strong rare earth magnets!). So get to it, and make an extra one you can send Geekanerd. Please.

Make Your Own Green Lantern Ring

There's an in-depth tutorial at the excellent DIY site Instructables about how to make your very own Green Lantern Power Ring! It's pretty complicated stuff unless you have some experience with jewelry-making, but the end product (either a resin glowing ring or a solid silver version) is really sexy.
