I was humming the song as a joke, while drinking on a train overseas. These little kids next to us started laughing and humming along with us. That song is understood by everyone. Nintendo has hypnotized the world. MWHAHA!


It would have been on the Voyager spacecraft had it been around.

Wow. Now I really wish I'd gone to Duckon 2007.

It's a small Sci-fi convention held every year in the Chicago suburbs (DuPage County).

I know this girl whose parents have been involved in running it since the beginning. She invited me, but I had other plans so I declined.

Now I'm pissed that I missed out on the musical lightning.

What, you can't make one? What sort of EE geek are you?


Only if it kills people. I can't make one safe!

A tesla coil that size could easily burn up the CRT in a television. The TV wouldn't even have to be on for it to happen, the electromagnetic field would do it regardless.

Check this out: Another mad scientist who does weird and terrifying things with high voltage electricity. It's a horribly designed website, but the content is pretty cool. Click around on the links. There's a bunch of stuff about Tesla coils there.
