Like most girls, I have learnt from the booze-fuelled experiences of my classmates and other male peers that boys generally are prone to doing stupid things. I’m not sure what genetic/evolutionary reasons lie behind the outrageously silly decisions that most boys make, but the outcome of most of them is usually the same- a trip to the local emergency room! Just another fine example of male brashness is this super-silly Handheld Lightning Reaction which of course is a portable version of the original party game. After a steady flow of beer or other intoxicating beverage has been consumed in an unaccounted for quantity, each of the players is required to grab a handle from the base unit. Someone even more drunk than the players then pushes the start button in the middle which prompts the game to play a suspence-fuelling music along with a red flashing light. When the light turns green, the music shuts up and if you’re the last one to hit the trigger button, you get a mild buzz of electrocution! Now that’s something only bratty drunken males can enjoy. Makes me wonder why you need to blow DKK 99 on this thing when you can just play the same game with a good old wall socket!

便携式电击反应器
跟其他大多数女孩一样,我从我的同学和其他一些男性同辈的醉酒经历中了解到,男生往往喜欢在喝醉的时候干些傻事.我不知道到底是什么生理或者进化论上的原因促进他们会做出那些过激的蠢事,但事后的下场往往就是被送去急救室.
又是一个表明这些男性桀骜不驯的例子便是便携式电击反应器.它通常在聚会游戏上使用.当无节制地灌下啤酒或者是其他酒精类饮料后,每个参与游戏的人都要揿住这个机器的一个把柄.然后选一个比游戏参加者更醉的人来按机器中间的开始键.这个时候就是间隙时间,会有音乐播放,伴随着一阵红光.当红光变绿时,音乐停住,如果你是最后一个按键的,你就要接受“电刑”伺候了—电流不会很强.不过这也只是那些疯狂的醉汉才会玩的开心的东西.
我很好奇为什么他们要99克磅(丹麦货币单位)来买这种玩意,直接到墙上的插座玩不是更刺激吗?
