Call that a flamethrower trombone? This is a flamethrower trombone!

Earlier, we brought you a video clip of a man who'd hooked up his trombone to also act like a flamethrower. Sure, it was pretty pointless, and yet at the same time, it was also quite impressive too – you know, in a pyromaniac's delight sort-of-way.

Now we've discovered an even more ludicrous trombone flamethrower. One that shoots jets of fire out over 21 feet at maximum range, and, you know, makes a trombone-like noise.

And though we admire their ingenuity – and their desire to one up other people on the internet – we can't help but wonder about the possibility of the gas tank beside the player's head catching on fire and everything getting very grim, very fast.

That and someone accidentally taking it along to band practice and frying the back of someone else's head.

In other words, what we're trying to say is this: don't try this at home. Watch it at home, sure, send it to your friends, absolutely, but as for making one yourself? Best leave it to the professionals. Or these guys, at any rate.

Bionic man with video camera prosthetic eye

When Rob Spence lost one of his eyes in a shooting accident, he'd have been forgiven for feeling sorry for himself. He didn't, instead he dedicated his life to becoming a cyborg.

And it looks like it's paying off, because the 37-year-old film maker now has a prosthetic eye camera which sits inside his eye socket and records everything he sees.

Rob, from Toronto, Canada, says he spent several years working on his Eyeborg Project with a team of engineers to create the unique implant which wirelessly transmits what he's 'looking' at to a computer.

Speaking to Sky News about his robo-eye, he said: "It wasn't easy, but because it's so like pop fiction, engineers had a lot of fun making it - without a budget I was able to do it - it was a fun project for these guys."

While critics point out that the cyborg eye isn't connected to his brain, it still gives Rob a satisfying Terminator-esque appearance and allows him to make films which quite literally give his viewpoint on the world.

The latest of which was a documentary into the world of cyborgs -- looking at how far away we are from the sci-fi images of mechanically enhanced humans -- commissioned by the makers of computer game Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Speaking after making the film, Rob says he thinks it's going to happen: "People are going to have the option of having superior arms, superior eyes at some point," he said. And as we know, many one-time sci-fi documentary, Deus Ex,technologies now exist.
