    Well, suicide bombers have kinda taken that over. They pad themselves with nails and rat poison (anti-coagulant). Not exactly poison but it'll fuck you up just as bad.

    Wouldn't the cruelest bomb be the one that fell on Japan? I know the popular notion is that dirty bombs are somehow more outrageous, but in all actuality, the bomb that kills the most people is the "cruelest".

    @know1: I think napalm is probably crueler. You are trying to burn people to death as opposed to just kill them and get them out of the picture. Plus, I hear it sticks to babies.

    @Jestermeister: Actually, even worst than napalm is self igniting napalm. They would mix white phosphorous in with the napalm so it would ignite as exposed to air. What would also happen is when hitting the skin, the napalm might be brushed off, but the phosphorous chips would burn their way into the skin, and could smolder for weeks, with the only slight relief coming from completely immersing the affected body part in water.

    @Jestermeister: Also, if dropped over a bunker or tank, it would actually suffocate the people in both as it consumed all available oxygen.

    @Jrsy Devil's Food Cake®: Yeah, I know. I sort of did that on purpose. (I otherwise pretty much rarely curse). I guess you could say I'm on an extended rumspringa with a penchant for irony. :)

    I have been a very good girl this year. I know it is only 1/2/2009 but dear sweet Santa, I really promise to be a very good/bad girl all year. I swear I will do what ever I can to get this pretty machine. Whatever I can. ;)

    Will it mend?


    Seriously though, I don't see a lot of average Jane Sixpacks buying this, unless they have their own seamstress business. I also don't envision those garment sweat shops investing in this either since they could probably get three or four workers for the cost of one of these babies.


    So who's the target market?

    @se7a7n7: I'm ashamed to know this, but Brother sewing machines have some kind of wonky rights to all of the Disney computer embroidery patterns. So if you want Daisy Duck designs on your tea towels, you need a proprietary piece of software designed by Brother for Disney.
