VILCUS PLUG DACTYLOADAPTER

Test Your Power and Rejuvenate Your Psyche

When Russian design Studio Art Lebedev contacted ThinkGeek to exclusively carry an amazing new product we were pretty stoked. After all Art Lebedev is the developer of the groundbreaking Optimus Maximus keyboard with OLED screens on every key. We expected something high-tech and fantastic... but we were completely unprepared for the simple genius of the Vilcus Plug Dactyloadapter. It was clear we had a winner on our hands.

The Vilcus Plug Dactyloadapter allows anyone to quickly and easily test the working condition of any wall socket.

Simply insert the Vilcus into the socket in question... insert two fingers and the use becomes apparent instantly.

But this is only scratching the surface of the device's utility.

Once we learned that the Vilcus was based on an antique persuasion device used by Soviet-era KGB we put the device to the test with a ThinkGeek contracted market research group and discovered something surprising.

After the pain subsided, those that survived reported a feeling of euphoria and well being.

Upon further investigation on Wikipedia we realized that the rejuvenating effects of high-voltage electricity are well documented.

It was even successfully used to treat insanity during the early 1800's.

Obviously Art Lebedev had done it again. We were thoroughly impressed.

So bring the Vilcus Plug Dactyloadapter with you anywhere you need a quick pick-me-up.

The included adapter allows for easy use on US style wall sockets or use the standard plug when traveling to most European countries.

On a pensé à tout. Prise européenne et américaine

WARNING!

While we at ThinkGeek are completely convinced of the health benefits of finger contact with high-voltage electricity... not all of our living test subjects for the Vilcus felt the same way.

Playing with electrical sockets is damn dangerous and our attorneys don't recommend it.

In any case ThinkGeek, Inc. and all of it's myriad subsidiaries are in no way responsible for your stupidity if you stick your fingers in a high-voltage wall socket and harm yourself in any way.

Vilcus plug dactyloadapter

Problem: Create an adapter for sticking fingers into electrical sockets.

[On ne savait pas qu'il s'agissait d'un «problème» qui demandait également une «solution». Enfant, nous essayions le truc de la fourchette dans la prise de courant qui fonctionnait très bien. Ou les doigts dans le culot d'une lampe (après avoir dévissé l'ampoule). Prochainement, ceci fera parti d'un jeu de société télévisé à Vroum tv. La tv qui vous fait voyager dans votre tête.]

Vilcus dactyloadapter was developed specially for people who enjoy closing electrical circuits with their own fingers.

Many people get a kick out of direct contact with AC power supply. To that end, people normally use U-shaped fragments of bare wire, paper clips or even usual metal forks.

All these gimmicks are unreliable, short-lived and, most importantly, tend to cause short-circuit failure or even inflammation.

Here is a limerick: There was a small girl indiscreet / Who asked her mom for a sweet. / Mom said, “Aye, it’s here in my pocket!” / “Go stick your lil thumb in a socket!”

Clearly, the idea is ill-conceived. For one thing, the desired effect would not occur if you used just one finger. For another, regular household sockets are designed to preclude any finger abuse, child or non-child.

Two convenient holes wide apart can accept even large fingers

Vilcus does not itself consume power, so you can leave it plugged till next time.

For group sessions, Vilcus users may obtain Rozetkus power strip designed by the Studio

Pour une soirée en groupe

All of the 25 sockets are LED illuminated to make finding a free socket under your desk easier. Rozetkus uses a standard high-voltage fuse.
