Sub-$20 Wonder Weapons: "Xeni Jardin:
For less than one Andrew Jackson, you too can own any number of wack-ass scifi defense tools. Shown here, the dreaded Hypnodisk, guaranteed by its manufacturer to 'Produce Weird and Bizarre Effects.' Defense technology reporter Noah Shachtman says:
I believed all those government and scientific reports that laser rifles and hand-held force fields were decades away from reality -- if they were possible at all. Cloaked in the dull skepticism of a flat-earther, I naively thought that advances like 'Electro-Hypnotizers' and 'Ion Ray Guns' were the stuff of science fiction, or merely hoaxes. (...) Not only are these items for real, but a helpful Internet retailer -- 'Information Unlimited,' out of Amherst, New Hampshire -- has been thoughtful enough to sell them all under one electronic roof. Huzzah!
My only question is what to buy first. Should it be the 'Telekinetic Enhancer'? The 'Sonic Nausea Device' Or maybe I should go with the 'Magnetic Cannon.' Luckily, the plans for most of these projects are only $20. So I can afford to make some mistakes.
