I love how the theme from Mario Brothers is chosen as the song the world over will recognize. It covers generations and so many languages. 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.

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.

(Please God, protect me from the kerble.)
I think a Tesla coil as guitar amp is the coolest thing since sliced bread. 250,000 volts of distortion. (Oh, hey God, please deliver one of these to me posthaste.)

Since those things are being controlled via MIDI you could plug one of those Roland ready Strats right in and ride the lightning... Ride the Lightning better be the first song played on guitar through a Tesla Coil or else!
