D.I.Y. DEATH RAY

New, from the maker of the internationally-renowned “Girlfriend Quest” PC game, comes a six-foot tall set of mirrors, designed to reflect the sun’s light — and roast whatever comes in its way.
The Solar Death Ray captures sunlight in 112 mirrors, each 3.5 inches square, and then spits it back onto a single spot five feet, six inches away.
“I estimate that the Solar Death Ray can heat things up to between 500–600 degrees Celsius (930‑1100 degrees Fahrenheit) under good conditions,” its maker says.
Mr. SDR swears he won’t turn his homemade weapon on living things. “Im not going to burn puppies or goldfish or anything like that.” But chocolate bunnies, Hootie and the Blowfish tapes, and “my pants” — all of them have already been reduced to protoplasmic goo with by the Death Ray’s awesome might.
