I wanted to post this back in August, but copyright claims prevented me to do so. Now, it seems it up on YouTube once again, totally sanctioned!
This truck is currently up for grabs on eBay. It’s a custom build that was used in the pilot of a show “Mining Wars” that’s currently being considered by The Discovery Channel. There’s a buy now option of $28k, if refurbished cargo trucks are your thing.
Long story short: Adam Reed (the sole writer of Archer) got bored with the spy premise, so now the crew at ISIS is attempting to sell 2000 lbs. of cocaine through the course of season 5. Sounds like a radical departure, doesn’t it?
It’s a… more modern adaption.

Last August, we wrote about a product called the Tiny Inconspicuous Handcuff Key. Originally, it was featured on Indiegogo as a crowdfunding project. Now, it’s fully available as a commercial product from an official website. Click the image above to see a .gif of the TIHK in action.
The TIHK, or Tiny Inconspicuous Handcuff Key, is exactly what the name implies, a small handcuff key designed to be hidden on one’s person. The TIHK features an attachment clip, minimal form factor, and a non-reflective matte coating to insure it remains undetected when detained. The key is designed to fit all standard “peerless” single and double-lock handcuffs.

For those unfamiliar with the CUUSOO line, it’s kind of like Kickstarter for custom LEGO sets, but supported by the LEGO company. Users create and share a project concept. If the project reaches 10,000 supporters, it will be reviewed by LEGO for a chance to become an official LEGO product. The project creator also gets a royalty of 1% of total net sales of the product if it’s produced.
