	Well, I haven't done any truely scientific study, but as a kid
I entertained myself for hours watching bugs spiral into the bug zapper
only to burst into flames.
	There is nothing so entertaining than watching a fly crash and 
burn.
	As to there effectiveness, it looked as though it was doing the
job.  That's as scientific as I get.
	As for entertainment purposes, buy one for the kid who has 
everything.
