Talk about giving new meaning to the phrase “this is a dynamite book”. From the New Scientist (Link):

A very unusual ink-jet printer cartridge, containing explosive ink, has been patented by Qinetiq, the commercial spin-off of the British Ministry of Defence.

And to think people are worried about guns and armor. Now we can just print explosives directly! And next up it’ll be something far deadlier: Invisible exploding ink! OMGBBQ! (note: I’ve never used that exclamation, but I just couldn’t resist)

Okay, now that the obvious is out of the way, here’s something cool that can be done:

Ganging hundreds or thousands of fuses together could even make a miniature rocket engine capable of precisely adjusting the orbital position of a spacecraft, the company says.

Oooooooo.

Oh. Wait. Guess we’ll need to be on the lookout for miniature warheads. I’d suggest keeping an eye on that quiet, reclusive little neighbor boy from here on out.
