re: #294 oaktree

Nuts. No luck finding an image of Crow after he got shot by Tom Servo’s death ray on MST3K. (The Danger! Death Ray episode). Probably out there as a YouTube clip, but I can’t view that from work. I laughed out loud when Crow’s ping-pong ball eyes suddenly flared up.

Given we’ve found at least three examples anyone want to bet there is at least one conspiracy theory out there that architects are purposefully building ‘death ray’ capacity into buildings and that there is some sinister plan in the works to suddenly modify and harness these buildings as actual weapons?

In the 60s the French built a vast parabolic mirror array to focus sunlight across a valley, a mile or two away. The purpose was to generate a couple thousand degrees in a target structure, providing a chemical-free heat for high-temp research. Some where near Grenoble, IIRC. Will check.
