Fire Snakes!

On Wednesday, February 16, Event Lab adventurers successfully tested full-sized snakes with 1/9 hp gearmotors donated by Bodine Electric Company. Rotating at 20 revolutions per minute, 5 six foot snake-like fingers will rotate, interacting with each other and belching fire from an integrated propane tank. That would be impressive enough, but like all members of the genus flamespeakerus, they will also pulse with the bassline of any music fed into them. The entire device will be mounted on a ten foot tower.

In other developments, plans were discussed for a Fishbon Event Lab Interactive Human Tuning Booth based on video game skin selection. Although details have not yet been released, sources close to the project acknowledge that knobs, sliders and other controls will allow users to adjust a wide range of personal attributes (confidence, sex appeal, etc.) More to follow in future posts.
