    Do they have a version that also makes your victim's eyeballs bleed? That would be good if they had one that made eyeballs bleed. Yeah, bleeding eyes, LOL.


    Oh, and pop. Yeah, that's it, one that makes eyes bleed and pop, that'd be really cool. Like exploding water balloons, but all bloody and gooey. Be a super fun prank, don't you think? Yup. I'll write them and see if they can put such a device together for me, those jolly jokers.


    Oh, btw, you seem to have forgotten you owe me $10. No, no reason I bring it up now, not really. No reason at all...

    Actually in the process they proved that certain frequencies can have physical and psychological affects.

    @LindsayJoy's MBP is into S+M: Nausea, not brown note. The necessary frequency for the "brown note" is infrasound, and that thing cannot move the necessary amount of air to put out a frequency that low.

    @LindsayJoy's MBP is into S+M:


    Ok sources also say it emits "ultra-high frequency sound waves which soon leads most in its vicinity to queasiness. It can also cause headaches, intense irritation, sweating, imbalance, nausea, or even vomiting."


    so a bunch-a things, sounds a lot like sea sickness....

    so, how would this be a good prank? the only way for me to actually see the person get sick is if i were near them and by doing so i would get sick myself. Am I missing something here?
