James Bond Gadgets
whencanistop writes "Given that the new James Bond film is just about to be released, this is quite a nice summary of James Bond gadgets from past films. Tomorrow Never Dies was on telly last night and I was commenting on how the mobile phone that controlled the BMW was awesome, why they haven't done it in real life is beyond me (although there would probably be a few accidents if they ever did). Ridiculous to think that in 1963 the gadget of choice for Bond was a pager though." Of course, the best gadget in the Bond universe wasn't even 007's ... Jaws' teeth were the envy of every kid with braces.
When I watched the original Bond films I never noticed all the gadgetry as I was too busy looking at all the Pussy Galore.
... to strap to his noggin in case he ever comes up against any similarly equipped sharks.

Short story as I want to go home in a minute...

Broke both my jaws 20 years ago, two metal gumshields were glued to my teeth, both of these had little hooks pointing up/down away from my mouth, on these hooks were elastic bands, these bands kept my nouth in the correct possition (and had to be cut if ever I puked).
When I'd healed, the elastic bands were removed and I looked just like Jaws. No white teeth, just metal.
If it wasn't for all the other metalwork screwed into my skull, I'd have been chewing through cables.
Liquid food for ten weeks... No pictures but I promise you it did happen.
This post contains benzene, nitrosamines, formaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide.
Least known, but most used, Bond gadget: penis
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
I guess it didn't heal so well then?
Yes, Dr. Horrible had a little issue with the stopping of the van as well. Of course Captain Hammer had smashed his magnetic control transciever.
