Log vs. Fax
Death Log
The Solar Death Ray isn’t very useful during the overcast weather
characteristic of Seattle this time of year. Because of this, we have
developed a new way of destroying things: the Gravity Death Log! The
Gravity Death Log consists of a roughly 15 pound l(7 kg) log
suspended about 50 feet (15 meters) above the target. The most
complicated part of the Gravity Death Log is the pulley, making it much
less sophisticate than the Solar Death Ray. Despite its simplicity, the
death log is just as effective as the death ray (if not more so).
Andy’s boss gave him a broken fax machine to death ray
several months ago. The fax machine was a bit to big for
the Solar Death Ray, but it was the perfect way to test the
Gravity Death Log. This experiment was a mix of two great
movies: Predator and Office Space. Ron Howard is
directing the feature film, called Office Predator.
As Andy held the log above
the fax machine, I gloated
over the doomed device.
During my monologue I
described the intricate
details for my plans for
world domination. Just as
the fax machine was about
to escape and heroically
thwart my schemes, Andy
let go of the rope and
crushed it.


If all of technology was
represented by the fax
machine, and all of nature
was represented by the
log, then technology got
smashed big time.

Now that we have demonstrated the ability to crush stuff with
moderate velocity wood, one must ask: will the Gravity Death Log
return to destroy more junk? Only time will tell….

Oh yeah, don’t try this stuff at home.
