How to lock someones lock "permatenlty" -Put elmers glue in it (with a tookthpick) How to make a fuse or timed lighter: -There are three methods to go upon. MATERIALS ~~~~~~~~~ 1) 1 clock (tick tock tick tock) 2) steel wool 3) 2 big batteries 4) wire 5) electrical tape 6) scissors 7) 1 glass jar 8) gasoline 9) the explosive including the fuse 10) a tiny I.Q. 1) Take the clock and rip off the glass cover on the front. Cut off the second hand and the hour hand so the only hand ticking is the minute. 2) Now, take the wire and cut off the plastic covering on the end so the copper is showing, and tape it on the minute hand so the bare part is facing the way the clock is going (clockwise). 3) Now, take another wire and cut off the end so the copper part is showing and tape it on the clock sticking up, so eventually the wire you taped on the minute hand will hit the wire sticking up. 4) Then hook up the batteries like this: ______________ < wire positive _[ ]__ [ ] negative [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [_ _] [_____] [__] positive negative \ / \ / < wire \ / 5) Now, take one of these wires and hook it up to the wire on the minute hand. 6) Then extend the wire ON the clock, sticking up. It should look like this: ____________ / \ < wire # # / \ # / # \ _________ # #/ # \__[ ] # # # __[batteries] # # ] # / [_________] # \ # / # \# / # # \ / \ / \ / < two important wires 7) Now, take your steel wool and put one piece on both of the (two important wires). 8) Fill up a glass jar with gasoline and put the two important wires with the steel wool connected to both of them, inside the jar. 9) Put your fuse for your explosive inside the jar with the two important wires and you're all set. The minute hand ticking with the wire on it will hit the wire sticking up. This will make a conduction of electricity through the batteries making the steel wool burst into red-hot pieces. This will reliably ignite the gasoline in the jar which will ignite the fuse to the explosive (slick, huh?) Only one problem: don't use alot of wire when you're wiring this up.. If you do, there will not be enough electricity to burn the steel wool. The other way is: How to Make a smoke Bomb: -There are several ways to do it, but I think this is about the best. After the end of the formula, I'll put some varyations. Here's what you do: Requirements- Sugar (powdered works best, but any will do) Saltpeter (you can get this at a hardware store) OK, take 4 ounces of sugar and 6 ounces of saltpeter (you can use more, but keep the porportions right) and put them in a pot. Heat them over a low flame, stirring constantly, until it is liquid. Pour it into a container (more on this later) and let it harden. What kind of container, you ask? Well, that depends on the circumstances. You can just put it into a paper cup and light the cup, if you want. Or, you could put it in a glass jar with a hole in the top for the fuse and seal the hole around the fuse. Another way to do it is to pour it into a mold, stick a fuse in, and wait till it hardens. How do I make a fuse? Very simple. Take some sturdy string and dip it in wax. You now have a fuse suitable for a smoke bomb. Which bomb should I use? The paper cup is good to just light it and chuck it. The glass jar (if made right) will shatter as the smoke builds up. I'd advise against that, cause it sends shards of glass everywhere, and it doesn't work unless you do it perfectly right. What you need to do is stop the hole with wax after you put the fuse in. then, when the fuse burns down to there, the wax melts and fills over the hole. More often than not, either the hole isn't filled properly or the wax gets popped out instead of the jar breaking. Anyway, the mold is nice if you want to make a small, professional looking bomb. You can use almost anything for the mold. I like to take liquid rubber (you can get it at a hobby shop) and brush it over something like a pencil or whatever and paint it so it looks real (from a VERY great distance). You can also just pour it into an ice cream scoop or something. Stick the fuse in right after you pour the mixture. You should use a fuse about 1 1/2 inches long, with an inch sticking out. Now that I have the bomb, what do I do with it? Easy. You light it and put it somewhere where it will cause trouble. You can light it and drop it near a smoke detector, or put it in a heating vent at your school. Now, if getting caught is a problem, you can do one of two things: 1) use a really long fuse, and dip it more than once in the wax, or 2) make a timer. How to make the EASIEST fuse: Take a piece of thin string. Soak it in hot wax. Let it dry. Light it. Run. Simple Enough? How to get free postage: ------------ Introduction ------------ If you've ever paid 29 Cents to mail a letter, you've been wasting your money. In a recession year such as this one, especially, it's important not to let your hard earned dollars (and cents) go to another beauracracy. Twenty Nine Cents is not an aweful lot to save, but if you send ten letters a week, you could save up to $150. If you send only 8 (The national average) You could save $120, and so on. This file will describe the four methods I know of for avoiding or greatly reducing postage fees. Be counted and count your savings! All us Americans know that sometimes blind people can be discriminated against. The government understands this too, and since mailing packages can be expensive, the government has decided to allow blind people to send their mail for free. "How Generous of Them!" You think. Wrong! They're paying for it with your tax money! You pay your taxes, why shouldn't you be able to send your packages free too? Well, now you can. Here's how to do it. Address your envelope like you normally would, but in the corner where you would normally put the stamp, write in neat print "FREE MATTER FOR THE BLIND." Now drop your package in one of those blue mailboxes you'll find on any street corner. It really works. The government isn't being that nice, though. Packages stamped "FREE MATTER FOR THE BLIND" are sent at library rate, which is below Third Class! To send a letter locally will take anywhere from two to five days, national- ly will take considerably longer. This method is kind of obvious, but in my experience, it has worked. However, it won't work if you're trying to send letters nationally, it'll only work if the two addresses share the same post office. Write your letter, and put it in the envelope. Now, instead of writing your name in the return address spot, write your name in the addressee spot, on the center of the page. Write the addressee's name in the return address spot. Now drop it in the mailbox without any postage. Guess what's going to happen. The letter will be returned to the sender who, in this case, seems to be the addressee. Both of the above methods are slow, but if you'd like to send your mail at normal first class rates, here's a way to do it. This way doesn't save you money, though, unless the recipient agrees to give. Before sending your letter, coat the front side of the stamps with glue (Elmer's works fine.) It's best to use a stiff bristled brush dipped in the glue to coat the stamps with. It will take about twenty minutes to dry. Once the stamps have dried, stick them on your letter and mail it. The glue has created a coating that can not be seen by the eye, but will protect the stamps from being destroyed by the cancellation mark. When the letter arrives at it's destination, the recipient can remove the coating with water, take the stamps off the envelope, and reuse the stamps. This is a diagram of what your letter should look like. It'd look just like a normal letter, you can see.. But the 29 Cent stamp must be coated with glue. ó2- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -2ó The US Postal Service, as you may or may not be aware, is a private corporation. Congress has the power to set postal rates, not the Post Office. This is stated in Section 8 of the US Constitution. Last time congress set postal rates, they set them at two cents. So two cents is all you legally have to pay for mailing your letters. Try it out, this really works! Get some a set of those stamp letters with the alphabet on them, or get the rubber stamps specially made up by your local printer. Use Red ink to stamp "FIRST CLASS MAIL" and "NON-DOMESTIC" on the top or left hand side of your envelope, and black or blue ink to stamp: "TWO CENT POSTAGE 12 STATUTES AT LARGE CHAPTER 71, SECTION 23 LOCAL/DROP LETTER 81 U.S. STATUTE 613" One of the keys to making this work is that it seem official looking. It works for me, but if you drop twenty letters in the same mailbox all like this, it's less likely to work. How to clog up someones ink thing: -Put tape where the ink comes out on the machine.
