>	I'm sure I have my death ray in here somewhere...

You got the quote wrong.  It is:

"I'm pretty sure I've got my death-ray in here somewhere..."

The quote is from Sam Fuqua Hurt, a local cartoonist, who does
a comic strip called "eyebeam". Eyebeam is an eccentric young
lawyer, fresh out of law school who talks to his own hallucintions.
He also invents time machines in his spare time.

Need I say more. The quote is also the title of his first
book of comic strips.  If you can get a copy of it please do for
Sam's sake.  He is quite funny in a slightly weird sort of way.

BTW ut-sally is named for eyebeam's live-in girlfriend.  We also
have machines named after Eyebeam and his roomate Ratliff, as
well as Eyebeam's law office partners.  Hopefully we will also
have machines named after Eyebeam's hallucinations, Hank and Duffy.
