The Space Hijackers are a group of self-proclaimed "anarchitects". What is that? According to them it's an anarchist fighting against obtrusive urban planning, and corporations. I'm not exactly a huge proponent of the anarchist thing, but a lot of what they do kind of makes sense. Public space should be public space. Anyways, every year they try and make a joke out of the "worlds largest arms fair" DSei in London. In the past they have tried to sell prosthetic limbs, and tried to sell sex toys as weapons. Almost every year they are kicked out or arrested. This year they want to take it up a notch. How you ask? They plan on buying a tank and driving it into the arms fair. They need seven thousand by the fair in mid-September. Right now they have five thousand. I didn't donate, but it seems interesting. Go here (http://www.spacehijackers.org/tank/index.html) to check it out.
