Our friend Kai got her hands on The Hungry Scientist Handbook. This is what happened:

We don’t know what happened next. We hope nothing blew up.
We’re working on making her an edible hockey puck. Any suggestions for an insanely durable yet edible material?
Lots of buzz
Here are some of our below-mentioned evilmad friends’ fabulous projects from the Hungry Scientist handbook:
As their greatest fans, we think IT IS IMPERATIVE that everyone spends some time on their fabulous website: evilmadscientist.com
WIRED R US
WIRED is all we have to say.
Name the project:
Regarding this last one, we couldn’t have said it better ourselves. In fact, we think they definitely said it better.

A shout out to our favorite evils
We’d like to dedicate the first post of our first day in official publication to a very special couple of brains.

Grape Crush
No, not grape juice… Vino! Made with our very own hands. This past weekend the Hungry Scientist Horde headed to Healdsburg, CA, to crush the fine syrah grapes of that heavenly valley. We filled seven or eight big garbage cans with grapes, fed them through an auger to destem them, and dumped what remained into [...]
