X-ray Light exposes our failure to be super

It's a shame that the amazing always becomes ordinary given enough time and popular exposure. Case in point: the x-ray. Childhood longings to possess such visual power are ultimately replaced by painful memories of leaden-concealed trips to the emergency room. Until this, the X-Ray Light from designer Wonsuk Cho. A whimsical look through the lampshade for eyes eager to see. Unfortunately, these lampshade / lights aren't yet available to purchase -- another dream dashed by cruel reality.

"Also, an X ray light has the same properties like light of bulb. If the X ray light goes through the bulb, the bulb will show you the inside of it and a special symbol which the illumination made will be appeared simultaneously."

Priceless. I wonder if they used Google translate.

A quick Google turned up plenty of build-it-yourself X-Ray machines, e.g.:

Um, IF you set this light up next to your couch how long can you sit there before you get brain cancer?

you're putting it up against the wrong head if it's brain cancer you want.
