Nice, I got as far as the guy getting a tan (first paragraph) before that bloated site quite nicely caused FF3 to crash'n'burn(taking an unfinished 20 min long download with it) and sending off an error report to Mozilla.

Edit: Twice! (no download this time)
I'm a sucker for punishment!

WooHoo, what a beauty Eric.

Couldn't you have fun with that like melting car tyres at 50 paces. I think it might play havoc with dark adaption at star parties though.

Rest assured, once the pollys find out it will be banned as well.

Now I wish I had that when I was a bit younger and did a bit spot lighting, wouldn't have had to shoot the bunnies, I reckon they would have been cooked ready to eat.
