Magmods have landed at Darwin Awards

Have a look at "Wendy's Corner" on the front page of The Darwin Awards Website

Woohoo i'm gonna be famous!

I guess that it might be a bad idea to let your kids play with one of those...

Most people who would build one would be cautious about the use.

Count me in!

Big props to Wicked Lasers for bringing the entire hobby down a notch. I know the WL torch wasn't the first to start fires, but I can't see this being good publicity.

That is true. At least Mac advertised his as a really bright flashlight, that as a byproduct could set stuff on fire.

Hmm, how long now until TSA bans flashlights on airplanes???

When any big name manufacturer copies the egg cooking stunt, I'll go back to Maglites

As the Darwin Awards website would have us believe, the Wicked Lasers Torch is the first and only flashlight to start fires, such a thing has never, ever been done before, and it's a weapon. :shakehead I don't know which of the two institutions disappoints me more.

I think I was the first to do breakfast with a bwaites USL: And I didn't need no steenkin' frying pan. Larry

LOL! Right on the lens? Was that easy to clean off?

Did you guys read the comments? Everyone was like, "I WANT ONE!!!"

Pretty funny that Mag Mods are getting mainstream exposure. It'll only be a matter of time until someone wins a darwin award with a flashlig...er...high tech photon extruder :twothumbs

Bill offered me the light as a prototype evaluator/reviewer. Needless to say I was sweating bullets as I headed to the sink for some water and dish detergent! It cleaned-up fine. :relief!: One of my friends had a bit more fun removing the marshmellow. Larry

Heh, one of the Engadget comments:

"Flashlights have enthusiasts?"

Sensible flashaholics who would build one would be cautious about the use.
I certain that it might be a bad idea to let your pets play with one of those...
