Yisrayl Hawkins' end of the world videos, remixed

Picture 10-1 Last week I pointed to a video of Yisrayl Hawkins' warning that the Bible prophesies that nuclear war will erupt on September 12, killing one-third of the Earth's human inhabitants.

Boing Boing reader Joe says "Once I learned from a Youtube link in your article that the world was going to end, I started surfing around Youtube and found that the followers of Overseer Yisrayl Hawkins have posted quite a cornucopia of scary little videos about the upcoming nuclear war. I got so inspired that I had to remix some of them. Hope you enjoy it." Link

Armor of God kids pajamas

Your children will be eager for bedtime with their Armor of God pajamas to protect them from the beasts under the bed. Just $39.95. From the Armor of God web site:
ArmorofgodThe Armor of God PJ's were inspired by a mother reading Ephesians 6:10-18 every night to her daughter to give her a safe and secure feeling in the dark. As they read the scriptures, they put on each spiritual and powerful piece of the Armor of God to keep them safe and peaceful while they slept. At that moment, God gave me the idea how wonderful it would be if all children could have the opportunity to put on a pair of pajamas that symbolized the Armor of God for the same purpose... that with their belief in Jesus and His protection they will feel safe and secure during the night as they sleep. As they dress in the mornings, they should replace them with the spiritual Armor of God to protect them in their daily activities.

Maine Mystery Beast carcass is canine

 Images  Wp-Content Mainemutant The amazing Maine Mystery Beast that many hoped had shuffled off this mortal coil several weeks ago is apparently not dead (undead?). DNA evidence reveals that the strange rotting animal found two weeks ago in Turner, Maine was, in fact, a dog. As Loren Coleman points out at Cryptomundo, this means that the real Mystery Beast with its glowing eyes and creepy cries is... still out there.

85-blade "pocket" knife

Wenger's "Most Incredible Knife," a $1,200, 85-blade Swiss-Army-style knife is apparently not a joke. I guess if you had really big pockets? Link (via Charlie Stross)

TSA busts "explosive water" that turns out to be cosmetics

It turns out that a bunch of "explosive water" that the TSA's Moisture War squad busted was, in fact, make-up. I'm sure that was a great relief to the passenger who was incarcerated for carrying it around.
"The bomb squad is on site and the woman is being interviewed by the FBI," the TSA's Amy von Walter said. "It looks like there were four items containing liquids ... two of those containers tested positive."

But law enforcement sources say the substances that tested positive were cosmetic-based products and not a threat CBS News reports.
