Crazy Link of the Day
It started innocently enough, with an AP headline about two kids who injured themselves trying to recreate lightsabers with flourescent lightbulbs and gasoline. Now, I know that there are non-flaming light saber replicas out there; surely someone has posted plans to the web?
A site by one Mr. Wilcox showed up on Google for "make light saber" (after all the news stories on the two English kids). But Mr. Wilcox's site is actually about making a light saber hilt as a costume prop. He does offer some advice on his FAQ page on adding some sort of tube as a blade, so that one can have light saber duels with one's friends or children.
His site provided a link to Future Horizons, our Crazy Link of the Day. They sell plasma tube light sabers, you see. Also, van der Graff generators. A polygraph machine. Oh, and hoverboards. And "Space Age Weapons including the Ion Phasor and Sonic Devestator [sic]. Everything from perfectly legit electromagnetic toys (billed as "anti-gravity") to a "wish machine."
The wish machine kills me. They've got all this technology (suppressed by the government, natch) that could revolutionize! the! world! like Free Energy generators or Rife Machines to cure all disease. The only things holding them back are the Evil Conspiracies and the Apathy of the Unenlightened.
So, er... use your "wish machine" to make it all better?
I should also probably mention that the wish machine, fully assembled and ready for use, retails at $390.
