Tonight's featured avatar belongs to the member, skebe - a member of the site since 2005.










Perhaps you, like myself, have looked at his avatar and wondered what in the heck that thing could be.

Well, let me introduce you to the Zorg ZF-1 Pod Weapon as featured in the 1997 movie, The Fifth Element.






What exactly is the Zorg ZF-1?  Well, it's everything that you would ever want in a weapon.  The ZF-1 contains a machine gun, rocket launcher, poison arrow launcher, net launcher, flamethrower, and of course, a freeze ray.

Wait a minute, you say - that sounds ridiculous.  Well....uh, yeah!  Here's proof:

Just in case, you missed part of his description, here's it is for you again.

Voila! The ZF-1. It's light; handle's adjustable for easy carrying; good for righties and lefties; breaks down into four parts; undetectable by X-ray; ideal for quick discreet interventions. A word on firepower. Titanium recharger; 3000-round clip with bursts of 3 to 300. With the replay button, another Zorg invention, it's even easier.  One shot... [shoots mannequin]...and replay sends every following shot to the same location. [turns around shooting; bullets curve their trajectory and hit the mannequin instead] And to finish the job, all the Zorg oldies-but-goldies.  Rocket launcher... arrow launcher, with exploding or poisonous gas heads, very practical... our famous net launcher... the always-efficient flamethrower, my favorite... and for the grand finale, the all-new 'Ice-cube System'!

That's right folks.  The Zorg ZF-1...perfect for home defense.  Get one today.





....and now you know.

Now a real killer, when he picked up the ZF-1, would have immediately asked about the little red button on the bottom of the gun.

Korben Dallas: [Leans down and kisses Leeloo. Leeloo swipes his gun and holds it to his head]

Korben Dallas: You're right, you're right, I shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry.

Leeloo: Senno ecto gammat!

Korben Dallas: I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

Leeloo: ecto gammat!

Korben Dallas: [In a later scene] When she woke up, she said a bunch a stuff. I didn't understand any of it but... what does 'ecto gammat' mean?

Priest Vito Cornelius: Uh... never again, without my permission.

Korben Dallas: That's what I thought.

Thanks for the lesson but it was wasted on me, not simply because I let my paid membership expire, but instead because I recognized that weapon immediately.

BTW, don't touch the red button.

It's difficult to say.  The selection process is fairly complex.

Yes!
Korben Dallas: We need to find the leader, Mangalores won't fight without the leader.
Aknot: One more shot, and we start killing hostages!
Korben Dallas: That's the leader.
Aknot: Send someone to negotiate.
Fog: [as Dallas looks at him] Uh, I-I've never negotiated before.
Korben Dallas: Do you mind if I try?
Fog: No, sure, sure, sure.
[shouts]
Fog: We're sending somebody in to negotiate!
[Corben walks into the room and shoots Aknot between the eyes. As he falls, the other Mangalores drop their weapons and bow over him, keening]
Korben Dallas: Anybody else want to negotiate?
Fog: Wh-where did he learn to n-negotiate like that?
President Lindberg: [looking at General Munro] I wonder.
