Oh, I never said that it would work; I remember reading about the misc
boxes a long time ago and the part in the story you linked where the
boss got all freaked out:

"One day the local salesmen reps of a major networking company (that
rhymes with Nabisco) came by to talk to my boss. Since he was on the
phone they came in and talked to me so I showed them the etherkiller.
I think it scared the shit out of them. I also got yelled at by my
boss since he thinks we might not ever get warranty support again."

reminded me of the grandiose claims in the blotto box instructions :)
Even better, of course, is the paisley box...
