If the intruder is already in your home, flood your house with a liquid that turns to gelatin within a few seconds of coming into contact with air he will be trapped!

Eat so much strawberry sorbet that you start making GBS threads undigested strawberry sorbet. Offer a bowl of strawberry sorbet poo poo to the intruder and chuckle to yourself when he unwittingly eats your poo poo.

A better question is why the laser hallway doesn't just start with the un-dodgeable grid.

Between ISIS and those hillbillies up in Oregon, I have made the decision to educate myself on the ancient art of home defense. Let's just pretend I'm too mentally unstable to purchase firearms. What are my options for home defense?

I'm thinking of starting off with a Katana. It works in all of those Cowboy Samurai animes, so why not in my house?

Please let me know all of your home defense tips or instructional videos. Here's my favorite so far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAkCLpMtjlM

if you actually own a functional katana, and actually know kenjutsu, then whatever, I guess there's no reason you can't use it to ward off someone who breaks into your apartment

but I like how the guy in this video is thinking this far ahead when he clearly has greater concerns. where does "move, occasionally, so as to not accumulate excess folds like a pregnant bear" fit into his self-defence preparedness agenda?

But they had enough money for a sequence of lasers of increasing difficulty up to the final obstacle which was a laser mesh that is impossible to dodge.

Pre-ransack your home. Upend furniture, remove and strew the contents from drawers and closets, and never take out your garbage. That way when a robber comes by, he'll think someone's already hit your house. Joke's on him! You just live in disorganized filth safely and securely.

Place a curse on a valuable treasure and put it in a place of prominence in your home. The thief will go for it first and when he touches it ZAM! He's immortal.
It might not seem like much of a punishment now, but give it a few centuries and he'll really regret breaking into your house.

Hang the corpses of your fallen enemies from the trees and string their scalps to your belt!

Alternatively, crucify your enemies all along your driveway. This way, your still living enemies will cry in anguish and beg for death as any possible intruder passes by, perhaps giving them pause. You can get some more mileage out of it if you give them a saline drip, saves you the work of having to find fresh...uh... home defense representatives so often.

What else... mines? No, nobody knows the mines are there so they aren't a deterrent and I still want the UPS guy to get to the door.


Pffff I'm just joshin' ya. Buy your projectile weapon of choice and once they set foot in your house, go hog wild! Nothing is more invigorating than a fight to the death at a moments notice. That is except... winning a moment's notice fight to the death!

I do keep a big pair of very long, pointed scissors in my nightstand. They look scary but are actually old and dull and no longer even good for cutting.
But guess what they are covered with. That's right. Tetanus. I assume. Maybe it's just rust. Maybe the robber just got his booster shot because he robs houses for a living and that's probably a good idea.

But an anti-vaxxer who I manage to poke in the leg somehow? Welcome to lockjaw possibly, criminal!
