Sean Michael Ragan has compiled the 10 most controversial posts that have appeared on Make: Online. They include a crucifix with a concealed shiv, a graffiti marker disguised as a cigarette, earrings made from squirrel's paws, a cross-stitched scene from the Columbine high school massacre, and these blood puddle pillows.

"Although many of us grimaced to read your comments when these posts first went up, time heals all wounds, and we've been having a great time on the mailing list bandying about our memories of our best/worst "ouch" moments from Make: Online and CRAFT. I've compiled a list of the top/bottom 10 best/worst posts from our collective trip down memory lane, and have included my favorite comment, from each, to summarize. Enjoy!"
