I believe all Sony readers have metal housings? Then you can 'stun' with just one short swing. Downside: Short range and may not function effectively as a reader afterwards.

That's not a legend, but it is a fact. When this first came out, our local comedy club sold tix and did it. We got there with plenty of time to get buzzed with an opening act, and then they started the movie and music. Astounding!

One MUST be drunk first in order to let the music and movie meld properly.
I tried it at home with some friends, and yes, I believe there was some alcohol involved.

Maybe tonight I should have some drinks while watching Star Trek and reading on my 505 just to see what happens...

Okey dokey, but don't be surprised if you blink your eyes and end up in Adrian's Bar. You've been warned.

Good point. The metal casing also conducts electricity, making it it possible to rig together a rudimentary stunning device. Again, the short range would be a problem.

Send them the Discworld series and we can sneak by as they are too busy laughing out loud to notice us.
