                 Become a McGuyver without leaving your home

While intended for kids, I personally would love to build some of these toys
[1]. Motors with just a battery and some wire [2]. A plastic hydrogen bomb
[3] (okay, maybe not that, given the recent events in Asia). Or how about the
radio [4] out of a few transistors, three pennies, some caps, some resistors,
salt, vinegar, crumpled aluminum and a stainless steel bowl (or three)?

Way cool stuff here. This almost makes me wish I had the WWW (World Wide Web)
when I was a kid.
