Just the thing to fight potato pixies with.

Nope you need a "SPUD GUN"

Hey, spud guns are fun. You stick the gun into a potato to load it, and it shoots out the little piece of potato when you fire the gun. But it's just a toy and it does zero damage so it's useless as a weapon.

A spud gun isn't useless as a weapon, you just need a larger mount for it

Spud guns? Ha! Gravy guns? For girls!

...*rumble*... what's that noise... and that smell..?

Everything does damage, if you shoot it fast enough.

I read an article pubilshed recently that its been tested and confirmed (using some anomoly of Jupiter) that gravity travels at the speed of light. I'd think this might be some evidence of the existance of gravitrons.

Seems like gravity based devices would be very good on the defensive, something like an ECM device maybe? Also, I would think they'd be very very effective at stellar manipulations.

Not a real answer, but some basic info even a chimp would understand, nontheless informative.

This one is also a bit simple, but gives more info about the role of photons and gravitons. It even mentions the unification theory, I'm very fond on this stuff.

I'll have to see if I can dig up the photo of the 'potato cannon' I built about 20 years ago. Made out of 3" PVC pipe 6 feet long. Would launch a potato 200+ yards! Awesome! Woke up everyone for blocks!!!!

Talk about a 'spinal mount' potato gun....

Timstone,

Thanks for those links! I love to read that stuff as well.
