Mad scientist Rob Flickenger built a functioning Tesla gun (based on one featured in the comic Five Fists Of Science). He’s even provided plans for those mad enough to follow his lead.

Saturday night in Derry.
THIS, etc.
THREE PROPERTY owners have paid between €30,000 and €40,000 through multiple liabilities for the controversial €100 household charge, Minister for the Environment Phil Hogan has confirmed. The three own between 300 and 400 properties that were liable for the charge.
Meanwhile, back in the real world…
As of noon last Friday, some 940,437 households, or 59 per cent of the estimated 1.6 million eligible, had paid the charge. Separate Department figures show that 24,098 people have paid penalties for late payment of the charge so far. These late payment penalties have raised €267,039.
