Middle-Management McGuyvering: Take Care of That Pederast Hanorhan With Your Very Own Cubicle Crossbow!I certainly don't endorse the construction of lethal weapons from common office supplies like paper clips, rubber bands, and pencils, but, as Clarence Whorley said in True Romance, "I'd rather have an improvised paper-clip crossbow and not need it than need a paper-clip crossbow and not have it." You know what makes this rock? The laser-pointer laser-site. Because we all know, from action movies, that just putting that little red dot on someone is enough to send them diving behind the coffee cabinet. That little red dot is more effective at saying "I must insist you stop it right now or something very bad is going to happen" than the throaty kuh-chuck of a pump-action shotgun advancing its shells into the breach. Thanks to the Fat Kid. posted by Ace at 02:38 PM
CommentsAce, here's a better link, to a site in English. Complete with instructions on how to build your own. Hey pal, "America First." Thank the Digital Brownshirt if you're gonna thank anyone-- he's the one who sent it to me. Cheers, Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on August 8, 2005 02:44 PM

Dave, Thanks, but I think the pictures pretty much tell the tale. Posted by: ace on August 8, 2005 02:49 PM
Bah... you can't feel the laser on you. Unless you happen to be looking almost directly at it or are in a hazy room, you won't ever see even see the laser. Now, loading a pump action shot gun WILL get even the semi-intelligent's attention... Posted by: Krsitian on August 8, 2005 02:58 PM
No biggie, just putting it out there. Like smallpox. Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on August 8, 2005 03:10 PM
I dunno, my first reaction when seeing a laser sight on me would be standing on a ledge yelling, "You want my blood? Take my blood!" (might be slightly obscure) Posted by: Johnny Catbird on August 8, 2005 03:53 PM
Do not take the shot! I REPEAT, DO NOT TAKE THAT SHOT! Posted by: Pompous on August 8, 2005 04:38 PM
LOVE the Fletch reference! :) Posted by: Opinionated Vogon on August 8, 2005 04:41 PM
Actually they are a lot easier to see than you'd think. Just ask my brother who got pelted in the wedding tackle by a paintball while shooting his laser-equiped paintball gun from the hip. Laser sights do exactly what Ace said. I was talking with the guys at Crimson Trace (who hide miniturized laser sights in the grips of your pistol!), and they were getting feedback from SWAT teams who loved their sights because they had to shoot people a lot less often. There's just something about that bright red dot in the middle of your chest that says, "Don't fucking move!" Posted by: Scot on August 8, 2005 06:36 PM

Update to the video of a Russian soldier being spun around and thrown by the machinegun he was operating: The soldier was testing an old, archaic Russian machinegun intended to be mounted to a helicopter. The old gun was pressed into service as a possible anti-drone gun. The Russian army is generally depleted and being forced to bring a lot of old, unreliable weapons and platforms to the front.

FDA is providing an update regarding the sample of lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms de Mexico which was reported positive on July 18, 2026. Due to the complexity in detection of Cyclospora, FDA laboratory experts re-reviewed the sample results and have concluded that the finding does not represent true amplification and should be considered a false positive. Information about the sample has been removed from the July 18, 2026, update below. FDA has notified Taylor Farms and continues working with the firm to ensure product implicated in this outbreak has been removed from the market. FDA and state partners continue to collect and analyze product samples. As of July 19, 2026, there are no confirmed positive sample results for product testing for Cyclospora.[CBD]
