I thought that, maybe, that spinning disk collapsed to horizontal at the last second and decapitated the miscreant in the chair but, sadly, I was wrong. :down:

It's Lord John Whorfin testing the Overthruster device from "Buckaroo Banzai."

My first thought was a facial treatment -- the spinning disk creates static electricity to make your skin tingle.

I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate these links to old magazines. I'm incapable of looking at only the one article and can spend/waste up to two hours there. On the other hand, the article about prehistoric crafts was fascinating.

She pissed Jigsaw off and has only seconds to rip the mask that has been crazy glued to her face off or the disc will slice her face off.

ummm maybe not.

I was thinking something along the lines of a Twilight Zone scenario with an over-vain woman being forced to look in a mirror at a plain mask on her face.
