The 'Megaton' Bomb Floor Lamp Will Blow Your Guests Away

This bomb floor lamp is anything but ordinary to use as home decor. Stock Pile Designs created this lamp using the casing of a 100LB Korean War-era kinetic bomb -- disarmed, of course. The original painting is stripped, and the insides are dismantled; the remains are hand-polished.
The heavy lamp manages to hang 42 inches from the ground by a slim, steel stand. This definitely an ecological solution to the disposing of old military firearms. Not to mention, it is definitely and awesome gift for a history buff (if you can afford it.)
Though the bomb is diffused, I can't promise that it won't blow up your bank account; it runs at a price around $1,680 (and that's without the optional shade.)
