Razor

A razor is a bladed tool primarily used in the removal of unwanted body hair through the act of shaving. Kinds of razors include straight razors, disposable razor, and electric razors.

While the razor has been in existence since before the Bronze Age (the oldest razor like-object has been dated to 18,000 B.C.), its modern counterpart was invented in the 18th century, and the 1930s saw the invention of electric razors. In the 21st century, the safety razor – electric or not – is most commonly used by both men and women, but other kinds still exist.

History

Razors have been identified from many Bronze Age cultures. These were made of bronze or obsidian and were generally oval in shape, with a small tang protruding from one of the short ends.

Various forms of razors were used throughout history, which are different in appearance but similar in use to modern straight razors. In prehistoric times clam shells, shark teeth, and flint were sharpened and used to shave with. Drawings of such blades were found in prehistoric caves. Some tribes still use blades made of flint to this day. Excavations in Egypt have unearthed solid gold and copper razors in tombs dating back to the 4th millennium BC. The Roman historian Livy reported that the razor was introduced in ancient Rome in the 6th century BC. by legendary king Lucius Tarquinius Priscus. Priscus was ahead of his time because razors did not come to general use until a century later.

Maniac Mansion

Maniac Mansion is a 1987 graphic adventure video game developed and published by Lucasfilm Games. It follows teenage protagonist Dave Miller as he attempts to rescue his girlfriend from a mad scientist, whose mind has been enslaved by a sentient meteor. The player uses a point-and-click interface to guide Dave and two of his six playable friends through the scientist's mansion while solving puzzles and avoiding dangers. Gameplay is nonlinear, and the game must be completed in different ways based on the player's choice of characters. Initially released for the Commodore 64 and Apple II, Maniac Mansion was Lucasfilm Games' first self-published product.

The game was conceived in 1985 by Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick, who sought to tell a comedic story based on horror film and B movie clichés. They mapped out the project as a paper-and-pencil game before coding commenced. While earlier adventure titles had relied on command lines, Gilbert disliked such systems, and he developed Maniac Mansion's simpler point-and-click interface as a replacement. To speed up production, he created a game engine called SCUMM, which was used in many later LucasArts titles. After its release, Maniac Mansion was ported to several platforms. A port for the Nintendo Entertainment System had to be reworked heavily, in response to complaints by Nintendo of America that the game was inappropriate for children.

    In Protest

    by: Razor

    I'll only say it once, don't ask me to repeat it
    Like I said before, I don't like you
    Just once you met me, and you don't wanna bet me
    You'd better like what I'm about to do
    So where'd you stach the money, no don't make me look
    You want to live another day my friend
    Lay it on the line 'cause you know what's yours in mine
    The word we chose to use that day was lend
    You only live once, better run fast
    I don't need excuses, I like it to last
    You only live once, better run fast
    I'll only say it once, that was my old lady
    Hey, don't let me see you talk or touch
    I'm not too good with pity so be telling the whole city
    Be telling them that I'm too fucking much
    Cause there was another man that crossed the line just once
    Just ask, if only he could talk
    His face has soft of changed this guy I rearranged
    He ran now if only he could walk
    I'll only say it once, this here is my bottle
    Just n case I need to drink
    If you run out of wine, remember that it's mine
    That should be enough to make you think
    I've worked for what I own, nobody's gonna take it
    So shake it off before you dare
    I'll just like ice, I'll never say it twice
