The death ray was a melted mail sorting machine before Dave got his hands on it; presumably it hooked into an existing orbiting laser (probably owned by another mad scientist or mad government). Or, hell, if you want to be really scared, perhaps Dave’s mysterious power of unknowing mad science through repair actually *created* the orbiting laser.

I cannot imagine anybody better qualified to do a Narbonic game.

Not only does it have the crackin’ joke about the nicotine, but it shows another nerd-thang, that lots of smart programmer-type guys can’t spell worth diddly. Even when they’ve got their joneses satisfied.

(This comment is dedicated to Adam Cadre, author of the very silly Flowers for Algernon game. Goshdarnit Adam, that’s the second time in two days.)
