War Lite


 

I get wet: In many ways, the squirtgun is the ultimate revenge tool: harmless, but capable of utterly embarrassing a foe in a way for which he can seek no sympathy. After all: who's going to feel bad for someone who got squirted? The Watergun Museum is an online archive of aqueous artillery, from The Killer-style handguns to high-pressure, high-capacity super soakers. One thing missing is the '80s-vintage Liquidator, a super-gun with a backpack tank for extra soaking capacity. That thing ruled. Get wet at www.sinasnet.nl/Watergun.html.

Soft power: When you leave a bunch of geeks unattended in a suburban townhouse long enough, hostility emerges - territorialism, isolationism and eventually, pillow and blanket forts. Watch, using actual documentary photographs, how immature men, under the cover of linen, mount sneak attacks on their foes and their foes' anime toys. The economy is either really good or really bad for the guys at www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/forts/.
