Forget all these smart-people book discussions...Your choice: lightsaber or speeder bike? mapthis Send a noteboard - 08/06/2010 07:46:23 PM

I saw this on a sports blog called Deadspin.com today. They have a mailbag feature where this guy answers all kinds of questions, most of which have nothing to do with sports.

If given the choice between a lightsaber and a speeder bike from Star Wars, which one would you take? I say the risk of killing yourself is about even on both. I'd take the speederbike....fuck traffic.

I think most geeks would take the light saber. But you'd need someone else to have a light saber for it to really be worthwhile. Also, you can't really go around killing people with a light saber, so it's kind of useless like that. Like Ryan, I'd go for the speederbike. Much more practical. And remember: it shoots lasers out of the front. So it's a kickass hoverbike AND it has weaponry. Win-win.

So, what do you choose? Without time to think about it, I'd probably take the lightsaber and spend all my time cutting stuff in half. But, with further thought about it, I'd love one of those speeder bikes. I'd be dead in about 7 seconds, but it would be awesome.

I don't even like amusement park rides, so a speeder bike is out of the question. jh - 08/06/2010 08:31:21 PM 595 Views

The lightsaber isn't powered by the crystals; the crystals focus the energy. Ghavrel - 10/06/2010 08:31:59 AM 573 Views
