Shocking Developments in the World of Mario
Posted on November 7th, 2007 by Schleppo.

“Twin Solid State Musical Tesla coils playing Mario Bros theme song at the 2007 Lightning on the Lawn Teslathon sponsored by DC Cox (Resonance Research Corp) in Baraboo WI.
The music that you hear is coming from the sparks that these two identical high power solid state Tesla coils are generating. There are no speakers involved. The Tesla coils stand 7 feet tall and are each capable of putting out over 12 foot of spark. They are spaced about 18 feet apart. The coils are controlled over a fiber optic link by a single laptop computer. Each coil is assigned to a midi channel which it responds to by playing notes that are programed into the computer software. These coils were constructed by Steve Ward and Jeff Larson. Video was captured by Terry Blake. What is not obvious is how loud the coils are. They are well over 110dB If you look at another You Tube video which is from a different angle, you can hear the echo off the building and get a better idea of how loud it is.”
This. Is. Awesome.

Extreme kitchen gadgetry from Popular Science magazine. I don’t know have anywhere NEAR the counter space for all this stuff. Guess I need to move my meth lab back into the kids playroom.
*For the record, I don’t have kids. Or a meth lab. Or counters.
Devo Shills the Pioneer Laserdisc

In 1984, the boys from Devo appeared on a promotional laserdisc to convince you, the astute consumer, to buy a laserdisc player from Pioneer. Also included is a commercial for laserdiscs starring Ray Charles. Take a moment to read that last sentence again.

Unique Ways to Get High

No, not what you were thinking, dirty hippie. These are unique elevators from around the world. A far cry from that one you made out in at Sears with that cute girl in junior high.
I bet you’re wondering how Shelly is doing right now. I’m guessing 5 kids, an equal number of tattoos, a Kentucky waterfall, and chain smoking Marlboros, no filter. Best move on.
Cell Phone Tower Rampage

An Australian man was so angry with his cell phone service that he hopped in a tank and started attacking cell phone towers. Remember that the next time you rip up your latest cellular bill because they charged you $1.99 more than they should have for your weekly conversation with the Psychic Friends Network. You are weak and your protest is lame compared your Aussie brethren.
