    Add a second arm, a couple of legs, armored torso and a good portable power supply, and consider me sold.

    Thats excellent, the first thing the kid does is mimic his dad. Pick up a can of beer chug it, crush it, drop it.

    This sucker clearly brings new meaning to the term "hand job", but there are only a couple people in the world that would think the size of this is "just right". Still, I give them kudos for creating a product straigth from Dr Doofenshmirtz's lab so we can all live in fear for the entire tri-state area.

    @Curves: I totally wouldn't. In the words of Conan O'Brien, I would crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and listen to the lamentations of the women.

    I definitely need this. Frooch, can you let us know about pricing and release date?

    @OMG! WALL-E!: You would think so, but you'd be wrong. You know what I have found out by spending time w/Ponies!? You can learn all that there is to know about his ways in a month, and yet after a hundred years he can still surprise you at a pinch.

    In reply to Interactivation: When Music Makers and Tesla Coils Collide
    Do they give out awards at this giant adult science fair project? This one would fail for no other reason than half of it appears to not be working (the creator is kicking him/her self for not using a baking soda volcano instead of a Tesla Coil), but I am curious what "reward" participants get other than the pleasure of seeing Gizmodo editors taking video of their masterpieces?
