it's hilarious :rofl:

Although at times it does make me sad,
I really would want such a thing, I'm aware it can't, but then, people have dreams about almost everything they like (like seeing Nessie :P )

You do realise that pranks are not just for April Fools or Election Days? :twisted:

Nice on :D THough with a bit of converting and couple different solutions it technically could have been done (of course not to the point where it would allowa us to paint such small minis wih such detail :)

Like Spike Milligan, I have thought long and hard about any token or message that I would prefer to have, wheresoever they put me after I shuffle off this mortal coil.
Unfortunately, or not, depending on your point of view, my preferences are not really suitable for such a young audience.
The best pranks are those that come out of the blue, as opposed to those done by arrangement or according to custom. I like sponteneity.

I wonder how long it will take for scientists to create a spray gun that does actually work like that...

They have them... Sort of. Action figures are machine-painted in batches, just not with a hand-held painting device! :P

I know, that's what I said. He asked when we'd have spray gun that work that way. We do now, they're just not hand-held or man-portable.

And if you want to get cheeky and say that guns are all hand-held, take a look at some howitzers and other artillery ;)
