Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Allyson, yes. Yes you do.

How-To: Build a synthetic aperture radar from $240 of junk
Ever wish you could build a radar system like the ones used on space missions and spy satellites? Want to do it for less than $250? Well then, Greg Charvat has the solution for you, with The $240 High Resolution X-Band Linear Rail SAR Imaging System. By using his intellect and skillfully mining ham radio swap meets, he was able to build a working synthetic aperture radar (SAR) capable of capturing high resolution scans of tiny things. For instance, the above message was actually written in push pins, hidden behind a foam plate.

Allyson, did you notice that on the stamp the bat's body is a cupcake? (at least, that's what it looked like to me ... but I'm about to go to lunch and I'm hungry)
Also, this is cute.
