I give up. The spaces are eaten apparently. Bring the flames
**takes Nali’s 1990 Honda Civic with huge muffler, spoiler twice the size of the car, and body kits to painter** Yes Nali said that RED HOT flames need to painted on this car. HMMM MMM thinks it’ll make it go faster.
Hey, Thanks! Front to back is fine!
But please be careful – it’s very easy to fall into the exhaust pipe if you’re not careful around it and you trip – last time it took us a week to get the guy out again!
Oh and I told the guy “DON’T touch the fuzzy dice!” However the 12 year old cheesburger in the back can go away.
I was saving that for a rainy day
Yeah and the “Don’t touch the fuzzy dice” advice is for their own good. Trust me on that.
So how long until we have to wear Hospital Gowns on planes and Fed Ex our luggage to our destination?
They should just make it 100% safe – no luggage allowed and you get a big dose of chloroform for the duration of the flight.
That way, we’ll be 100% safe.
But what about the inflight movie? And who doses the pilots? Does the last guy dose himself?
Yeah – you probably shouldn’t dose the pilots, we don’t know how bad the alcohol in their bloodstreams will react with the chloroform. Best to leave them in their naturally sedatet state.
sedated – I think I may also need some of that now.
Great. Now I have Billy Idol singing in my head. Help!
I had the Ramones going for a while now
“No but you should type like this just in case?” Did I get it right? Do I get a prize?
Yes you get +1 interweb for figuring that one out!

Ok … reply button and font fail. Please move along, nothing to see here.
*stops and stares at Naliord’s goof-up. Points and laughs for good measure. Gives Nali a big smooch and a good view of boobage and runs away giggling*

Oh darn, I did it again!
*Sits and waits for another smooch-by*
*peeks around corner, runs up behind Nali, gives him a smooch and a little bounce of the cleavage and runs away giggling*
*Drooling at avatar*
Hmm I could do this all day!
so how many of these fascinating little puzzles has Al-Quaeda ordered?
Can’t you just seem them in an airplane seat with all those metal pieces scattered all around with puzzled looks on their faces?
Ah, I get it now – it’s a gun from Ikea.
hahahahaha
more than likely they’d just use the assembled solid block as the weapon to smash heads in.
Why does he have one green fingernail?
It’s a reminder of the time he killed a guy for asking too many personal questions.
*snerk* I see what you did there. *bang* Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh
Meh… I’m not impressed. He just took a gun apart and built a real-life Tetris around it. I mean, sure, that’s a beautiful piece of work, especially for one guy, but it’s just a gun hidden in a puzzle. Star Trek did better years ago; remember that one episode on TNG where the two Klingons built a phazor pistol from parts on their uniform? At least in that instance, the pieces were made to look like their uniform.. the gun doesn’t blend into the puzzle, the puzzle is just built around it.
Oh well. It’s still cool, but it could be cooler.
Brian Dennehy smuggled a less complicated and easier-to-assemble gun into Russia in the film Gorky Park. So I know this isn’t an original idea, nor the best version. But its Rube Goldberg quality is precisely (pun intended) what makes it so ridiculous and funny. Good old Rube would be proud of it.
that’s by Rube Goldberg’s brother, Rubik
I think you’ll find that the Klingons in question were in one of the Star Trek movies, not a TNG episode… Think it may have been “Undiscovered Country” starring Chrostopher Plummer as Klingon Gen. Chang, but not 100%sure.
Take off running, but don’t run too fast. It takes 7 minutes for me to load this thing…..
It seems like an overly elaborate way to smuggle a weapon.
That’s not far off from just putting a regular weapon (hand gun) inside a well-locked metal box of some sort. It will likely draw attention at the X-ray, and with enough work, will eventually reveal parts that look weapon-like. Not something that would attract “professional smuggler’s” business, I’d think — So, it is more art than any true weapon-tech, in my opinion.
agreed, for one thing, the thing is 40 pounds, so it’d be tough to carry in your luggage. Also, TSA would definitely like to inspect it, like they do to any object that looks really complex from an X-ray (that’s why they make you take out your laptop so it can go through the machine by itself).
can this get through security at airports?
You would be surprised to find out what can – and does – get through. Last fall, I flew from USA to Europe. I thought I had removed everything sharp from my purse and carry-on. But when I later switched stuff from my big “travel” purse to my smaller regular one, I was horrified to find that I had missed an item that was strong steel, very sharp, and definitely lethal. And it had never caused the slightest pause at the scanner. Remember, the terrorists who brought down the twin towers used PLASTIC box cutters to slash the crew’s necks. The whole airport “security” thing is a fraud… just something to make us FEEL safe.
agreed. for example i was going to south carolina for vacation and on our way back home, security found a pocketknife that i had forgotten to take out before i left home, but the security on the way there did not notice. makes you feel real safe, eh? one reason i hate flying. I would rather drive, and if its out of country, i’ll kayak
to fly across the Big Pond or to kayak across the Big Pond, that is the question…
Or maybe i can get my ninja friend to carry across the water. Wait! I could get my pirate friends to take me across also! So the question is, to scurvy, or not to scurvy?
But really, which is better, pirates or ninjas??
Pirates of the Carribean. The Black Pearl is best.
I love you :3
That was one of the first flaws I noticed. Some of the gun parts, like the barrel and such, could easily get trough. However, the first significant part of the gun to be removed was the bullet holder. If you were to hide the guns significant parts in the bottom of the puzzle, you might dissuade inspectors (maybe). but bullets after five minutes of “digging” would let anyone know that pay-dirt is up ahead. On a separate note, this thing reminded me of a weapon called the “Saber” from a book series called Left Behind. From damage references, this thing is a forty caliber that shoots rounds so first they flatten out into disks that do the damage of a fifty call, all from a handgun. This impossible little gadget came with a companion called the “sheath.” this was a puzzle box that would fit so tightly around the gun it would eliminate the troublesome shape of a pistol from the X-ray. All the sheath and the saber’s exterior components where said to be crafted out of a single block of metal, making the sheath appear to just be a seamless metal box ( you could easily explain the odd cluster of lines deep within the block if you are creative). Although taking a metal block through airport security would be suspicious, after some work the block could look like an extra heavy duty laptop battery and would not evoke suspicion. If you really want to smuggle a weapon through the X-ray you don’t have to design a puzzle box though. You just build (or buy) a lead container. Because lead shields against radiation the machine cant see inside. I don’t know if this would make the can stealth or make it very noticeable, but you could easily design an outside finish that would make it look like something innocent is in the container. I am surprised I haven’t seen it in a spy movie yet.
What a pointless thing! Probably a great puzzle, but so heavy that it’s basically home based – built around a gun, rather than actually incorporating it and so slow to assemble that if you needed a gun you’d be better off buying, you know, a gun.
Typical American gun-nut, with a slightly better than average 3D sense of perception.
His last comment is particularly dumb. Any bock of metal that big IS a weapon – it doesn’t need conversion.
Yah, no possible way he could want to create art for it’s own sake. Lets get rid of that mona lisa crap too. It’s moldy and not nearly as colorful as a McDonalds ad!
This is pretty interesting – if this was applied to an artistic trophy for some prominent figure with a lot of security, its conceivable that you could use it for an assassination. Still pretty cumbersome for that, of course, but it’s the kind of visually appealing thing Hollywood loves to stick into their spy movies.
Where is Nick-Nack when you need him ????
Nick: OMG the zombies got Rochelle!!
Coach: We gotta get to safehouse NOW!!
Nick: Ellis?! Are you done putting that friggin gun together yet?!
Ellis: Dude, just gimme 2 more hours, ‘kay?!
