Every so often, a computer shoots an Electric Death Ray through the keyboard, killing the user. Bam! No more population problem.

Ahh, but the people in the areas of the world with the worst population problems don't even know what a computer is, let alone what to do with one. All this would accomplish is a random assassination of computer users who are usually too busy on the PC to reproduce anyway. |

So I think that, 'ZAP' ---------------------------------- |

Better than a 'Pocket Pool Cue'...<grin> |

How about reserving the use of this device for Tech Support professionals only- and just for use against their more difficult customers? That way you'd *know* that it's a complete idiot on the other end of the line that's getting fried. |

Bingo- instant world IQ jump of 20 points! |

Fitted to beer cans, the Death Ray would cull out a different segment of our enlightened western 'civilization'. Oops, I like both computers and beer, better sip carefully from now on! |

BigThor: YesYesYes! I want one! I want two! I want a button on my phone that'll do that... |

HooRay! *So there I was, checking to see what catches my eye, cig danglin' and beer by my side. I thought .o0O (I wonder if that's my ol' pal Afro?) Yup.

Bad idea! The only people who'd be left alive would be the rubber fetishists. |
|
| |
Also, my tech support people would probably wipe themselves out trying to install it. |

wow...Alcin landed right on his - key...I don't think I've ever passed out on my keyboard and landed on the - key before. |
|

come on triple fishbone.... |

which really seems less-than-complete, eh, Peter? But, then again, this is the HALFbakery, so I suppose that was deliberate. |
|
| |
It is. It's not actually two and a half stinkfish, it's five half-fish. |
|

I like this idea. It should be put into tvs and designed so that if they're left on the golf, fishing, soap, wrestling, dirtbiking, etc channels for too long-- ZAP! ::evil grin:: |

Oh, this is too much work. Let's just build Carousel, and give everyone those little jewel things on their hands. |
|

"Last day, Pisces 2's, year of the city, 2002... Carousel begins." ;) |

Never watched Logans Run?? For shame! |
|
| |
This is a good-ZAP!-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! |
|
| |
I always notice that the people most concerned with population control don't seem to care quite enough to kill themselves. It's always "the other guy". |
|
| |
Considering that the average american uses 13 times the resources of the average third worlder, It follows that it is 13 times more efficient to zap Americans than anyone else. |

Please don't assume I'm British. |

Hahahaha, rotfl, lol etc etc - good joke ! |
