Machine of Death contributor Camille Alexa very kindly sent us this in the mail. It appears to be some sort of nozzle-bearing device that will predict your death.

I am afraid we have no recourse but to lay down our arms and cede victory to its garish packaging and compact form factor. It is cheaper than our Machine and likely just as accurate.

We have looked over this device and examined it from every angle. No explanation, no text, no illustration provides any answers whatsoever — simply more questions. Thanks, Camille. We will sleep uneasily tonight.

p.s. Only the ingredients listed on the back (SDA 38B Peppermint 190-Proof, Deionized Water, Cinnamic Fragrance, Glycerin USP 99.5%, Sodium Saccharin, FD&C Red #40) give any sort of hint whatsoever as to this thing’s true nature, and even then — now that we’ve learned that this is a substance to be ingested — it seems more sinister even than before.

Full transcription of the text is after the cut.

Blue Q® – Very Best Quality

Don’t you think it’s weird that you have no idea when or how you are going to die? You could be scheduled to die tomorrow and not even know it. If you’re like most people, you’d probably appreciate a little advance warning so that you could say goodbye to friends and family and all the things on Earth you love. And then spend all your money.

Death. You can’t escape it, but now you can be prepared…. thanks to Jesus Had A Sister Productions. Giving you that precious extra time to appreciate being human.
