Last week we bought a rechargeable Mosquito Killer Bat. It is a tennis racquet shaped electronic device used to kill mosquitoes by striking them. Mosquitoes will be turned into ashes (most turned into fumes) with a blast.
The device has 3 parts:-
Handle- The power switch, the blaster button, indicator bulbs and the charging plug are the main components of this part. Be very careful while holding as you don’t want to slip.
Hoop- This is the part that cruelly kills the victims. It has three layers of metal net. Each layer is kept untouched from the others. The center layer always has electricity flowing in it, even when switched off (not so good
). The other two layers works only when you press the blaster button.
Frame- The frame is made out of plastic and covers almost every part of the instrument. It protects you from getting shocked.
To recharge the device, insert the plug into a power socket, switch on the socket and wait (or sleep) till it charges completely.
I wanted to know what happens when you touch the hoop. The experiment was a great success and now I know: “I SHOULD NEVER DO THIS AGAIN”.
This may not be the best method to destroy mosquitoes, but I couldn’t find any other way for taking revenge (for oozing my blood out) in a sporty way.
The whole story ended when the bat fell down from my young brother’s hand
. But, we haven’t lost our hopes and are still trying to repair it.

Entrecard is having a rapid growth recently. But I have stopped dropping cards since the shop was started there. Yesterday I decided to have some fun. I asked my friend if he want to sacrifice his Entrecard account for some fun. He joined me. We started stealing credits. Ok, not actually stealing; we were trying to earn more credits in less time by visiting only the drop URL.
We earned some credits and suddenly the credits stopped increasing. This made us cautioned and we stopped ‘dropping’. Then for sometime we couldn’t access Entrecard.com which made us think our accounts were terminated. Actually Entrecard was stopped for sometime for maintenance. When everything was back in action, I noticed my credits increased to 3580 from 1326. Before being delighted I noticed a minus sign before 3580. Yes, it was -3580 not 3580. This was not different for my friend. This was not what we expected.
I looked at the transaction list in the dashboard to see where my credits went. They gave us penalty for each drop. I lost a few hundreds as penalty which was enough to turn my credits negative. Then, I tried to send some negative credits to my friend. You can’t actually send negative credits from Entrecard. Then, I tried dropping a card normally. What! I was shocked to see my balance dropping by another hundred.
Anyway, look what I got for the 5000 credits:
- A minus sign (Yeah, it counts)
- Information: Entrecard is not terminating accounts for scripted drops
- Information: You can have negative credits, but you can’t send them
- Information: Entrecard is working fine
- Experience
- Fun!
