Mar 18 2009Imperial March Tesla Coil And Faraday Suit
This is some guy testing his new Faraday suit with a Tesla coil playing the Imperial March. It looks like fun. And by fun I mean this guy is nuts. I don't care how harmless it is, you just don't go messing around with something that looks that much like lightning. Reminds me of the time I accidentally broke one of those plasma lamps at Spencer's Gifts. You know what happened? An electric plasma ball escaped and blew up the food court. Also, it told me to look under a dressing room door at Victoria's Secret. True story.
Thanks to JAG and Martyn, who have both beat Zeus in an arm-wrestling match and then called him a sissy and struck him with a bolt of his own lightning. Hardcore to power of Mount Olympus!

That's insane, but I'd jump at the opportunity to try it.
You can also see the fluorescent light in the top R corner lighting from the charge

I want a giant Tesla coil for music so badly! I hear they're extremely loud and of course, the eye candy is great too.

Well the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You dont look at their faces
And you dont ask their names
You dont think of them as human
You dont think of them at all
You keep your mind on the money
Keeping your eyes on the wall
Chorus
Im your private dancer
A dancer for money
Ill do what you want me to do
Im your private dancer
A dancer money
Any old music will do
I wanna make a million dollars
I wanna live out by the sea
Have a husband and some children
Yeah I guess I want a family
All the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You dont look at their faces
And you dont ask their names
Repeat chorus twice
Deutschmarks or dollars
American express will nicely thank you
Let me loosen up your collar
Tell me do you wanna see me do the shimmy again
Repeat chorus

I think 'Tesla Coil' is probably one of the coolest phrases in the english language. Better than that 'Cellar Door' bull-cocky.
Naas, I appreciate the gesture. You may be getting an e-mail from me soon. Are you on myspace by any chance?

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake becauise the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max teams up with a plug ugly dog to take a cruise on an unsinkable ship. In the process they turn state's evidence on Parker Posey. By the end of the movie they blow up 9 oogly mothers-in-law and end up winning the admiration of their 3rd grade teacher, living happily ever after.
