DIY USB Servo-Guided Water Gun
An anonymous reader writes "What better way is there to learn something than by making your own DIY gadget? Here's a new video showing how to use a common hobby servo, in conjunction with a small water pump, to create a USB controlled water gun! You can use your keyboard to aim and fire at an unsuspecting passerby. Both fun and educational, this project looks like a great DIY weekend project for any IT guy, wanting to make sure people think twice before asking a stupid question!"
Are you saying this doesn't matter? Legions of Wicked Witches will be stopped by this new weapon. Fill it with holy water and we may survive the vampire hoard.
This is all that matters.
Oh wait, nevermind, they're just trying to sell their kit. You might as well buy an Arduino since it's cheaper and has more applications. The only thing it lacks compared to the other is an LCD screen, but I figure it makes up for it by having a big community.
No existe.
whaddya think the "S" in USB stands fer, huh?

Sexy?
Fill it with holy water
Kids today are not evil enough. Fill it with a mix of 3-methyl-1-butanethiol, 2-quinolinemethanethiol, or similar mercaptans (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skunk#Anal_scent_glands). Even using a dilute solution, your victim will have no friends for a week.
It might even keep the kids off your lawn.

It's like beer, only less so.
Oh, so it's like American beer.
