It looks nice, but ~$160 for a keyboard is a little rich for my blood. For that price, I'd want a keyboard made out of boobs.

I remember crossbows were popular in wood shop... and paddles.
You weren't allowed to make paddles, tho, so if the teacher caught you making a paddle, they used it on you. Nothing like a test drive to make sure your design was sleek, aerodynamic, and painful.

Were the holes drilled in those to cut down on wind resistance or to increase pain? Or maybe it served a duel (or dual?) purpose.

They let you make a crossbow but not a paddle?
Not even a ping pong bat?

The disciplinary paddles at my elementary school in the midwest were drilled for two reasons near as I can tell: 1) The holes not only decreased air resistance, but resulted in multiple painful welts after delivery rather than one large one; and 2) Psychological terror. Aside from looking wicked, the holes helped generate a terrific "whoooshing" noise as the paddle was swung, adding to the whole ambience of horror as one was swung down toward your backside.
For added psychological effect, the schools paddles were also painted matte black and stored in fitted covers, allowing the disciplinarian to make a great show of the unholstering and brandishing of said paddle.
Only tasted the sting of the paddle once; once was enough for me. Effective attitude adjustment right there.

Wow, you guys are old. I went to school in the post-corporal punishment era. I even went to Catholic school and never so much as got my knuckles rapped.

Heh, not that old (not Orc-old leastaway), turning 40 next year.
The plus side to have been subjected to corporal punishment in my opinion is that I have legitimately earned the right to tell kids to get the hell off my lawn.
