Remember that fishy business about the potential for hackers to prematurely shut off a pacemaker via a wireless communicator? Since many people use pacemakers to keep their heart beating, scientists are taking this loophole extremely seriously and have raised a solution to the issue.

Proposed is a cloaking device, an external attachment that the pacemaker owner would wear, resembling a medical bracelet. The cloaking device would prevent any harmful form of remote access to the pacemaker, keeping the wearer safe from any malicious wireless attacks. The cloaking device would be removable just in case doctors need to modify the pacemaker as needed. Ain’t nobody shuttin’ my heart down, girlfriend!

Know what sucks? Getting stung by a wasp. Know what really sucks? Someone stabbing you with the WASP Knife. Sure, getting a blade to the gut can be painful, but with the WASP, you’re also getting a crushing 800 PSI blow to your body. Whether you’re fighting dirty terrorists on dry land or stabbing sharks in the high seas, this knife is going to make sure your target is inflicted with massive damage. And while you can’t make a lamp out of it, it’s still one impressive knife.

Using disposable cartridges of compressed gas, the additional force caused by the WASP will probably rupture internal organs and fracture bone. Supposedly, the knife is for non-civillian use but some scammy website has it on sale for $380. If you’re one ruthless sonofabitch, might as well slap down the Benjamins for some cutthroat action.
