Even in prison.

Yep, those prisoners get pretty inventive. At least, according to this story on Wired News, they do. And, someone’s written a book about it, called Prisoners’ Inventions. It’s actually a very interesting look at how a creative person can get things done, when they have to. What a shame, then, that these inventive minds turned to crime instead of, say, engineering. I bet they could devise an alternative to the space shuttle!

Anyway, a fun look at invention behind bars. Happy Friday!

Update: This was titled “Neccesity is the Mother of Invention”, but some scum-sucking splogger was stealing the title graphic, so I had to rename it.
