Papercraft: Mawaru-Penguindrum
First, for those of you who don’t know what papercrafts are, which I would assume to be a majority of you, they’re models constructed mainly out of paper. Just think back to math class in elementary school where you had to cut out and glue paper to make 3d cones, cubes, prisms and what not.…

A safe way to try knife tricks
So, I ran across this video of people doing tricks with a special kind of knife called a butterfly knife. [youtube FTkEGNj1DkE] I tend to be easily fascinated by anything to do with tricks (magic tricks, pen spinning, yoyo tricks, you name it), so I couldn’t help but want to try. Of course, getting a…
