Would-be Sith Lord Assaults People with Lightsabers in Toys R Us
 |
A man armed with two lightsabers went a little crazy in Toys R Us in Hillsboro, Portland, Oregon. It’s not clear whether 33 year-old David Allen Canterbury, who assaulted people with toy lightsabers at Toys R Us, was working alone, or if he had a Sith Master. Always two there… |

Papercraft Blade Runner Police Spinner Perfect for Retiring Paper Replicants
 |
I always loved the flying vehicles in Blade Runner.… I think it’s the fact that they could drive on the ground like regular cars, but then do the VTOL think and take off and land on a dime. Probably the most iconic vehicle in the film is the police spinner, |

If you frequent the Internet, you must have encountered at least one image photobombed by the Pedobear. Actually photobombed isn’t the right word.

Blade Runner Stiletto Cop Heels Make You Want to Get Pulled Over
 |
These futuristic illuminated police stiletto heels are kind of look like a strange fusion of vehicles and shoes. I don’t really know why these are necessary, but hey, if they make police officers more visible they might be relevant at some point. This concept design for stilettos for police women… |

Web Gun Catches Thieves Just Like Flies
 |
Why should cops need to zap suspects with dangerous Tazers when they could just catch fleeing criminals using a powerful Spiderman-like web-slinging device instead? The NET-2000 Shooting Net Rod uses a charge of highly compressed air to fire a net at fleeing suspects from as far as 49 feet away.… |
