the killer raquet.

i used to be a pretty mean tennis player. not mean mean, but good mean. but im not talking about tennis raquets here. im talking the killing raquet - racquets designed to kill with a a discharge of electric shock!

so a friend gave me this killer racquet for Christmas. you push this button to charge the metal wire face of the racquet. then upon contact (or within vicinity) of an insect (like a moth or a spider etc) the discharge of electricity shocks the insect and kills it, without you ever coming too close to it. i love it. i killed 3 bugs so far.

my last bug was a mediocre roach on my door. i shocked it and damaged a leg and an antennae. but it was still alive. i shocked it about 5 more times until the shock penetrated the hard chiton carapace. apparantly insects with a hard exoskeleton takes more shocks. hmm, maybe if i power it with a car-battery. maybe then the shock will penetrate roaches in one shot. i swear, roaches are invincible, it seems like.
