DIY Project: Solar Death Ray

Ah, the weekend. The opportunity to take a breath, spend some time alone, maybe have a hobby. You could go play catch, or bead a necklace, or bake brownies for your loved ones.

Or, you could build yourself a solar-powered death ray.

I'm not kidding! So I got some weird looks today for carrying this book around campus:

Gee, I wonder why. All I wanted was some info on solar-powered heaters. I was NOT expecting a 3-page treatise on how to build and use my very own Solar Death Ray. But not gonna lie, I skimmed it. Okay, maybe I read it a few times. Fine, I read it word-for-word and studied all the pictures and diagrams, but that's not important. What is important is that SWEET MARY MOTHER OF JESUS YOU CAN BUILD YOUR VERY OWN SOLAR POWERED DEATH RAY!!

In case you're interested, it's apparently "very simple" to assemble a death ray. Just saw apart a mirror into squares and solder the individual tiles to a giant pegboard, where you can angle them until they all beam sunlight to a certain spot like a laser. Super-ill, dude.
