One must ask… Does Straight Dope have an Ad on the front page for 1920’s style Death Ray’s?.. would you like to know… WHY… they don’t? Because coldfire and the likes aren’t IN THE BUSINESS… of selling 1920’s Style Death Ray’s MAAAAN!!! -What does this mean to you? Together, as a people, we can put a stop to the whole 1920’s Death Ray “thang”… and therefore HAVE… ALL _THEIR_ DEATH RAYS ARE BELONG TO US!!! You might ask: “Well, WTF do we do from there?!” The answer is simple. We USE the death ray to affectively set fire to the owner’s Chocolate Labs. Once again you might ask: “Will it _taste_… like chocolate?.. though?” The answer is no… it tastes more like chicken. But let me assure YOU… it’s Damn good eats. ---

You know, when they outlaw 1920s Style Death Rays, then only outlaws will have 1920s Style Death Rays. ---

If you went back to the 1920’s and shot your grandfather with a Style Death Ray, would that violate the Prime Directive? ---

It was the buses that he jumped on the bike. With the goofy white helmet. [/PN] ---
