That's pretty cool, MacGuyver. Does the razor blade do anything?


It cuts off your ear if you get too close


Be better if you could use it as an electric razor ...


Replace the dental floss with Litz wire and attach ends to 110 VAC.

Wait. Maybe not. Considering how many stations you can pick up with a
razor-blade radio, that would probably interfere with vital communications
all throughout the spectrum. What's the resonant frequency of a whisker?
