Neato: University Students Program Digital Recreation of London in 1666, Before the Great Fire Swept Much of It Away

Very cool. Now fill it with monsters and give me the Lightning Gun and let me relive history the way it wants to be relived.

Another cool video below: A guy fills bullets with reactive metals, liquid sodium and potassium and a sodium/potassium mix.

Let me kindly spoil the deflating outcome: while the reactive bullets perform spectacularly against a watermelon (a soft target), they do no damage at all to a cinder block (a hard target).

So they are very cool to look at and can do a lot of damage to a soft liquid target. But no one's going to start loading sodium/potassium rounds.

Open thread.
