Funny

What do you think?

So here's the story:
My sister was found by a cop sitting in the middle of a road at 2am one morning in her car.  She was really in
the middle of the road.  She said something hit her windsheild when she was driving and did this to it.  He looked all around but didn't find anything.  What do you think happened?

Switching to Laser Tag

Paintball can be costly activity.  The startup cost is fairly high.  First there's the paintball gun or marker.  This item alone can cost hundreds of dollars.  Next you need a good mask, CO2 bottles, remote line, pods to hold paint, and some kind of vest or belt pack to hold everything.  This is just to get started.  Then there's the recurring expenses, such as  CO2 refills, paintballs, and replacement lens in your mask. 
My friends and started looking at some alternatives.  We checked out air soft, but the guns seem to be too fragile.  That means we would probably be buying new ones pretty often. 
Now we are going to try laser tag.  I found all the parts we need to build our guns.  It will cost about $100 per gun.  The bulk of the cost is for the curcuit board ($75). The rest is for sensors, battery, screen.  The software that lets you set up games is free.  It will allow you to set up each gun with different parameters and has several different game scenarios, including infection.  You can also set up stations that you can shoot to get more ammo, health, or even set off a bomb.  The computer keeps all of your stats too, so you can score your games and keep track of your accuracy.
