On a completely unrelated matter, does it seem dizzy in here? ~Not-So-Handy Andy

"On the 6th floor of a condo I was working at. I checked all the floors, and they're all like this."

"Disconcerting" is the word we're looking for here...

Last Thanksgiving we showed you how to cook a turkey using thermite. Now that summer is here (and somehow already coming to an end), it's time for something more BBQ-friendly. DIYer Ben Krasnow gathers his family and friends together for some nice beef kebabs. I'm not entirely sure about sticking glove-less hands near molten iron or ingesting something that's been touching said lava.

Who knew flavored water was flammable? ~Not-So-Handy Andy

Don't feel like getting vaporized by an M80 during your fireworks celebration? Fear not! The fine folks at Grathio Labs have devised a way to make fireworks that add just a bit of extra pop to your celebration. Follow the instructions in the video, extrapolate, and make something cool like a chain of them! Just don't be dumb and do it indoors/in your hand/without eye protection/near flammable material. You can kludge with one hand or one eye, but it definitely doesn't make things easier...

Wanted hot water, but had unpleasant company downstairs. So I decided to heat it using what I had in my room at the time.
