Radioactive sheep lamp

Officially it's called Seamour Sheep: Radioactive Edition:

Crazy Label and Sevensheaven are proud to announce the Seamour Sheep Radioactive Edition - a limited edition USB-powered lamp, this time featuring atmospheric green LED lighting, a cool radioactivity warning sign on his side, the coolest pair of goggles so far, and last but not least: a motion sensor controlled power switch!

The Seamour Sheep: Radioactive Edition features a cool motion sensor that detects when you turn Seamour on his side, switching off Seamour's light. To turn on the light again, simply put Seamour back on his feet. No more plugging and unplugging of power cables, and no ugly visible power switch!

Photos of Chile's Chaitén volcano erupting AND creating lightning

The Daily Mail says:

As clouds of toxic ash and dust tower into the sky, they ionise the air, generating an explosive electrical storm. Colossal forks of lightning spark around the noxious plume as it spews from the volcano's crater, creating an image of raw, terrifying energy - as if the air itself were ablaze.

Now, the worst-case scenario is the collapse of the volcano accompanied by a "pyroclastic flow" - a devastating super-eruption of scorching dense gas and molten rock that would roll down the mountainside at 100mph or faster, incinerating and flattening all in its wake.
