Well… I guess we’re done here.
And so, zhlf210 , I hope that we’ve answered your question.
PS: The lobster was great.
It should be! It was cooked with a 1920’s style…a 1920’s style…a 1920’s style somthing or other…hmmm…
:smack:
Cite please?
Oh, shoot (excuse the pun). Here we go again…
:smack:
EMP or Electro Magnetic Pulse devices are intended to produce an emp that is capable of shutting down a small electronic/electrical device to a large output capable of destroying all of the electronic/electrical devices over a widespread area.
The atom and hydrogen bombs also produce an EMP of LARGE size and destructive capability.
An acquaintance claims to have built one, albeit small, that destroyed a small electric motor. He declined to build one for me to test out.
True. The Zotti Death Ray Company was formed in 1939, in Chicago, by distant relatives of our Ed. In 1949, it combined with several other firms to form Consolidated Death Rays. This, sadly, was forced to shut down in early 1965, when its’ mail-ordering abilities were banned as part of the Lindsay Act.
Ah, they’re 1920’s style “Death Rays”.
Will it take a 1920’s style death ray to close this thread?
Apparently.
Is this the Longest Hijack™ that’s been allowed in GQ?
Is the advanced weaponry (by 1920s standards) keeping the Closing Mods™ away?
Will Batman escape a Near Certain Doom™?
Only one of the above questions is The Serious One™. Guess which.
The last post makes me want to start a “Batman vs. 1920’s Death Ray.”
1920’s Death Ray. Easy.
Batman is a puss.
Well, I might as well warn you about one thing. Many of these works are long out-of-print, and are difficult to access (I could only find some of my information from reprints elsewhere.)
However, if you want a full history, I’d recommend the “Textbook on Death Ray History”, which includes a huge amount of information, from the giants in the field (Servo, Morteson, Marshall, Golden, DiMattero (the best chronicaller of the Electro Company), Haugh, Maddox (an important expert of 20’s death rays), Carlin, Hammerstein, et al.). Most good colleges should have a few copies of it.
(BTW, make sure you have the 1997 edition. The 1988 edition doesn’t have the Servo, Haugh, or Golden material.)
You’d think the Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Moderator would have been by to close the thread by now shrug.
They like this too much to want to close it, appearantly.
They probably feel intimidated. Those 1920s style death rays can really ruin your day.
The marketing alone on this thread has boosted my sales of 1920’s style death-ray.com
oops…http://death-ray.com :eek:
Just when you thought this thread was dead: Photographic evidence that the Smithsonian Museum was once home to a massive death ray!
