Founded in 1924, Kodomo no Kagaku (”Science for Kids”) is THE magazine for Japanese kids to recreate scientific looking stuff until today. And right now, Tokyo’s INAX Gallery 1 is holding the The Age of Crafts – Growing up with ‘Kodomo no Kagaku’ exhibition, which features recreations of projects featured in the magazine’s issues of the 1950s and 60s.

It may somehow look dangerous, and yes, this is indeed a USB data drive. USB data drive is one of the most dangerous “weapons” and a carrier of countless PC killer viruses. My pals get them too often, and hopefully this USB data drive Bomb keeps you reminded to scan it (at least) before plugging into your PC.
