Nope.avi

You get an Improbability Device that works in Real Life! Its use and nature is Exactly What It Says on the Tin.

BUT

It does not come with Hero Insurance. The Device will never provide it either, and everybody will instantly know if you caused any damage with said device.

These two may literally be more bark than bite, but they are no less tenacious than everyone else.
