A bit more sonic

Here we go as threatenedpromised. A completely self-indulgent, regressing-to-eight-year-old showing off new toy entry.

The sonic screwdriver extended and lit up

The sonic screwdriver extended, lit up and buzzing. It can also do that when not extended. Ooo, shiny.

Okay, in answer to the question: does it actually do anything except light up and buzz? Not really. It does have something the Doctor's "real" sonic screwdriver doesn't — you can take off the cap at the bottom of it and there's a biro nib there. That attachment can also be swapped out for another nib (included) which is an "invisible ink" marker, which, when the UV light of the sonic screwdriver tip is shone on the writing, reveals it.

It's for kids, what else can I say? :)

P.S. I have been informed that UV light charges up phosphorescent materials faster than ordinary light, so if you've got those glow-in-the-dark thingies, like room deocrations, watch faces, etc., the sonic screwdriver is just the thing for revitalising them. There. One practical use.

Other than resonating concrete.

Cool! I want one. Ok, so I'm not especially a Dr. Who fan but still... :)

Some of my neighbours can resonate concrete. They're not so hi-tech about it, though: They use lower frequencies, and their equipment is vehicle-mounted rather than pocket sized. =:o\

The sonic screwdriver is very cool.

On an unrelated note, my local Disney store has the red Incredibles T-shirts in adult large, X large and XX large. Which one would you like?

Hmmm. I actually wear medium (although with the weight I'm putting on these days...). Are they only a few left? I'll check with the local Disney store here and let you know. Thanks! *hug*

I thought you might be a medium. Unfortunately there was nothing between kids 12 and large. There are a few left, though not a lot.
