Each individual penny has four notches cut from its sides at 90-degree angles so they could be assembled K’Nex style into sheets, then stacked into this 540-pound cube. Damn, 100,000
Because some people like to see a bad idea carried out to completion (I can respect that), this is a video of Colin Furze constructing an ass-mounted flamethrower. Powered by an aerosol can and electric ignitor, the flamethrower is mounted in the rear of his pants so he can produce
