Satisfy your inner Calvin
I wish I knew the circumstances behind this video because my imagination is running wild. The landlord raised the rent, so screw him? They hate their neighbor, who happens to be out of town? They actually had a contract to re-roof this house but decided to have some fun instead?

To Infinity and Beyond
Canadian teens put a (Lego) man into space for just $400It was probably a rather small step for Lego but it was certainly one giant leap for a Lego man when he was launched into space by a couple of Canadian teens recently.
The mission was the result of the hard work and ingenuity of friends Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad, who worked on their project during free time on weekends. It took them four months to complete and cost just $400.
The space-bound contraption the two 17-year-olds came up with comprised an $85 weather balloon, a homemade parachute, a Styrofoam box, three point-and-shoot cameras, a wide-angle video camera, and a cell phone loaded with a GPS app so they’d be able to find the thing when it (hopefully) returned to Earth.
The finishing touch came in the form of a Lego man holding the Canadian flag strapped to a gangplank attached to their creation.

Road rage?
This is a wedding. The bride is in the black merc GL. There is a local custom for groom's friends to challenge each other for a place after the bride's car. They typically use the old "Lada", which is not a pity to throw in a landfill after the inevitable collision with the autos of other applicants. Bride's car absolutely cannot be touched. The white "Lada" violated this rule and people on a silver "Lexus", taking on the role of a judge chastised the careless driver.

The Day The LOLcats Died
Regrettably, I had to agree with Coyote when he wrote: " My prediction: They will kill this particular bill, and we will all pat ourselves on the back for it going away, but they it will get slipped into the back of some defense authorization bill while no one is looking and become law anyway. This kind of pandering to Hollywood and increased government control over speech and the Internet is just too appealing for Congress to pass up forever."
So eternal vigilance and all like that.

Replicators
I'll be truly impressed when the Z Corporation guys can give me a cup of tea, Earl Grey, hot.
Tucson John sent a link to the clip above. The ability to make objects from scanner input - and with moving parts - is way cool. But I took it as just an advancement in stereo lithography technology, which has been around since the 1980s. The Z Corp. guys have added high-precision scanning and (no doubt) some fairly clever image analysis code to process the scanner's input. Using scanned input as the model, instead of the usual CAD model, is a really impressive advance.
Here's XKCD's take:
The 3D printing part, though, is widely used -- for making custom chocolates, as an example.
Some folks even have chocolate printers made from LEGOs.
And some have LEGO-built printers the "print" with LEGOs:
