Honrmassive is a 2000 watt horn sound system that can “project ‘content'” up to a kilometer. It’s been seen heard at Burning Man, the Coachella Valley Music Festival, and a few other big blow-outs. From Hornmassive.com:

HORNMASSIVE (2004) (Matt Hope) is a 2 Ton (4500 Lbs US), 3.5 M by 3.1 M by 4 M mobile 2000 watt steel and aluminuim horn sound system, all powered from a commercial 12” speaker driver. It functions as a mobile audio input station… (and is) designed to be the ultimate monophonic sound projector intended to catalyze social activities in multiple settings.

The Lifehack weblog has a great roundup of clever uses for household spray lubricant WD-40. The most surprising? WD-40:

Cures arthritis. My father-in-law swears by this. He is a retired Air Force mechanic and when his knuckles and knees get grouchy he squirts them with WD-40. He says it works every time.

Apparently WD-40 can also remove lime buildup from your faucets, prevent light bulb socket corrosion, and remove sticker adhesive or tree sap from your car. What do you use WD-40 for? Let us know in the comments or to tips at lifehacker.com. — Gina Trapani

Sheep Shaver is a full speed ‘Classic’ emulator for Windows, Linux, and Intel based Macs, that runs older MacOS’s at shockingly full speed!”
