Fuzzing the tank within certain parameters made for entertainment. It would drive & shoot randomly. That was great fun, until it shot my wife. Oops.

Oh dear. From my experience in life, women and girls never find being shot with Nerf even remotely as amusing as the men and boys in their life think they will. “It was random, I swear,” probably didn’t help much. Great article though, does anyone know why the toy uses the full 32bit ARM instruction set instead of THUMB?




I'm a man. Being shot by a Nerf depends on the context. Playing with kids - fine. Deeply concentrating in the office and shot by adult idiot? Not fine.


If someone I married was genuinely pissed off about an errant nerf dart, I would seek a new partner. I found the authors comment quite odd for a comitted fellow.


Sometimes I wonder if the SO in these kinds of comments actually get a negative reaction - or if it's just another dumb, outdated joke that women/girls are sooo sensitive


I thought it was a "joke" on how shooting your wife on accident actually would be really serious and sad, but it could be that too.
