For the first time since September 11, 2001, the Transportation Security Administration is relaxing its guidelines on what items are, and are not allowed on planes. Knives whose blades fall within a very limited range will be allowed to be carried onto planes, as well as some other previously banned items. Don't worry too much, though. Bottled water? Still banned!

Jörg Sprave first came to our attention with his machette-shooting slingshot some time ago, and has since gone on to wow and horrify us with his DIY weapons. In this new video, Sprave returns to his knife-shooting roots with a crossbow designed to shoot throwing knives. It's about as dangerous as it sounds.

Though Call of Duty -- specifically the more recent incarnations, Modern Warfare and Black Ops -- are seen by many hardcore gamers as a casual, mainstream romp that they wouldn't ever think about touching, it has one of the largest fanbases in gaming. Whether or not you fall into either category, Call of Duty has always been an arena for player ingenuity and creativity; for a game that many would call a generic war shooter, the players tend to pull off ridiculous stunts. Like, for instance, the player in the above video who threw a knife up to a helicopter, then had the knife bounce off the helicopter and land on an enemy below, delivering a fatal blow. For all the war shooting going on that one may call generic, this kill is anything but.

Sometimes, the only thing you can do is dance with swords. I'm sure most of you must know that first hand. You get home from a long day at work and dancing with swords is the only thing that can lift your spirits. The only thing that makes it even better than dancing with family, is dancing for family, something these folks know well. If the guy in the blue looks familiar, he should, because he's a butterfly-knife-dancing-for-Grandma-while-periodically-holding-a-beer master. I don't know what more I can say besides "Don't try this at home, unless you do it to kicky music like these guys do, in which case you should try nothing else while at home."
