speaking of dumb and dangerous...

This guy is all about supporting the troops (not), villains in St. Vincent & The Grenadines, and a bit of dumb and dangerous project news...

Well, since I mentioned a "dumb and dangerous" laser that is powerful enough to blind someone and set things on fire (including human skin), and be cobbled from off the shelf bits and pieces, I should, perhaps, issue some sort of warning... 

Dumb and dangerous projects by their very nature are, in point of fact, dumb and dangerous and should not be done while drinking, otherwise impaired, or by those whose IQ tops out at less than the temperature on a brisk winters eve in Wisconsin.
That said, having an Iron Man laser on board is more than likely a whole lot safer and more legal than having a gun or guns aboard...

Just saying...

Now, if I were one to consider something akin to a weapon for defending a boat... I'd still give serious consideration to the medieval poleaxe (hey even Amazon has them). The poleaxe has both reach and pointy bits and was the medieval equivalent to the bazooka (the knight in armor being the tank). The downside is that pointy and sharp things needs some serious training...



... Of course, I should point out that the winners of altercations that involve pointy bits and sharp edges often wind up in the same emergency room as the losers, which you might want to keep in mind!

So, for the moment, my plan of action is still to stay as far away as possible from places where villains ply their trade on a regular basis, and hopefully getting around to building a "Bedazzler" because, maybe it's just me, but a little puke on the floor trumps blood any day...

So it goes...
