Kill-o-zap
I'm slightly concerned that the US government has even been doing this kind of research, but still impressed. The future is not shaping up the way I thought it would (where's my flying car, dammit?!), but on one score we seem to be getting there. The Army unveiled it's new "ray gun" - and yes that's what they call it - last week. Now mind you, this has been all over the news, but I can't get over it. Now if they could only shrink it down and make the business end more evil looking with spikes and whatnot.
With all that Buck Rogers-like research going on, it's a wonder that people had time to do the research they did on these white beetles. Boy those things are amazing!
