That's great! Love it - another great Pitchy project!

I think you should start production and give those away- just to drive all these liberal nitwits extra crazy. OH MY ! I CANT LET MY CHILD PLAY WITH THIS- ITS TOO DANGEROUS!!!

That thing is so cool. Maybe I'll make one and power it with a rocket motor. Think I've still got a couple from when me and the boys used to build rockets that would go up almost out of sight. Wonder how many RPM it'll turn?
