Weapons of Much Distraction

Hehehehe, I wish we had a local ThinkGeek equivalent here in South-Africa, ‘cos ordering from them is horribly pricey.
My latest favourite would-like-to-have-for-novelty-purposes is their Desktop USB Missile Launcher. That’s just cool man! Pity that it requires 3xAA batteries though, not sure why. AA batteries are typically 1.5V each, so the three will give the thing 4.5V in total. A USB port can give 5V, so why not just get the current from the USB port?? Odd. Either way though, it’s still damn cool!
