Hand me a pencil, ’cause I’m about to turn it into a 1983 Cutlass Sierra, baby. At least that’s what macho-man MacGuyver would do. Thanks to the retarded world of Wikipedia, we now have a staggering list of accomplishments from everyone’s favorite TV star. I’m partially fond of this one:

When near a deadly laser grid, MacGyver lights a pack of cigarettes to make the lasers visible. He then smashes a pair of binoculars, removing a prism to deflect a laser beam back to the emitter, destroying it.

At least he never whipped out his dong and turned it into a speedboat.

It’s not so much that we are scared of the dark, but that we love DIY gadgets. Yeah…that’s the reason we’re discussing this project. This cool rusty nail LED night light was made with a technical ingenuity seen only through reruns of MacGyver. We realize CAT 5 wire isn’t something most people have lying around their house, but if you can’t seem to find any, just snatch some wiring out of an old transformer. This project is a cool lesson in how inductors work through electricity, and makes for a nice night light for our other people’s fear of the dark. — Andrew Dobrow
