I posted about this, and even explained who H.R. Giger is, and then the first comment was someone correcting my spelling of Geiger Counter. I resisted the impulse to reply with http://i.imgur.com/axJmn.gif

Now that’s pretty cool. Does it detect ravenous Aliens, too?

So is it a counter you can store stuff on? Does it count the Gigers you have? Is it a Geiger counter in an amusing box?

And if I hadn’t read the backstory, I would have missed the “Giger” part of the pun.

And I hate to admit that I remember watching H.R.Pufnstuf on TV. (And OMFSM, it’s available on Amazon Prime. Time to introduce the kids to the magic of the Krofts. Well, a couple of minutes anyway. Don’t need their brains to melt.)

nice, never heard of Giger before, his works are interesting.
kind of sad that I instantly recognized the pipes as being from LEGO :-/

So, this “giger counter”, does it enumerate the Gigers in a given area? Or does it scan a person and tell you how likely he/she is to be a fan of H. R. Giger’s artwork? (This could be useful….) Seriously, this is great; visual puns are even better than the merely verbal!

Really, Gheeger? I totally got it right away. Love the back story, i.e., needed some hilarity today. Fanks!

Thanks for the plug!

Hey if it weren’t for people making off-hand comments, I’d have no material.
