This is exactly as awesome as it sounds. A young fellow from MIT recently took it upon himself to create what is arguably the most amazing piece of headwear this side of the celestial plane. Taking a cue from the closest thing that mankind has ever had to an honest-to-god mad scientist, Nikola Tesla, the unnamed student decided that the best way to bring all the milkshakes to his yard this Halloween was to strap a fully functioning Tesla Coil to his skull…
…then make it play the theme tune to Mortal Kombat.

Now, the science behind this is lost on me - the last time I watched anything remotely similar to this on screen it was exploding a security guard in District 9 – but I have a decent enough working knowledge of electricity to know that this is probably a really fucking bad idea! The schematic for this murder-helmet is a veritable death-mask of numbered letters and lettered numbers and terrifying zeros. SO MANY ZERO! Its component list is made up of intimidating adjectives like boost and something awful and alien called a ‘4xHGTG 30N60B3D IGBT full-bridge with GDT drive’ and I don’t know what the fuck that is! If you download this image, reverse it, burn it to disk and play it backwards through a Toshiba car stereo, it will sneak into your house at night and stab your dog.

Everything about this look sharp and terrifying |
But strapping the world’s first cranium mounted plasma whip to his noggin just wasn’t badass enough for this tall drink of ball-numbing lunacy. Every evil villain needs a theme tune, and what could seem more suitable to a young man who most likely spent the majority of his formative years being alternately picked on by shoulder-padded jock-straps and viciously murdering his opponents in vicarious outburst on his SNES than the theme tune to one of the nineties’ greatest bet-em-ups, Mortal Kombat.

Oh, and did I mention that it blew up the day before Halloween? Presumably while strapped to the head of a chimpanzee or small test rabbit. What a pity that couldn’t have happen ON Halloween. At the party. That would show them. That would show them all…

“It also plays the Harry Potter theme. You know, for the ladies.” |
