+-------------------------------------+ ! Head Grinder ! ! by ! ! The Talon ! +-------------------------------------+ This is a great way to waste someone's disk drive! Read on... --------------------------------------- Materials: 1 diskette 1 razor blade 1 sheet wet-sanding paper 1 pen 1 pair scissors super glue --------------------------------------- Procedure: Using the razor blade, carefully cut open the seals on the top rear of the disk. Flap it open and remove the magnetic media. Turn the sandpaper upside-down. Place the magnetic media on the back of the sandpaper and trace it. Then cut out the circle of sandpaper with the scissors. Glue the sandpaper (sand side up) onto the BACK of the magnetic media. Place the magnetic media back into the disk casing so that the sandpaper is on the bottom. Glue the flap shut. Give the disk to the intended vitim. --------------------------------------- Explanation: Single-sided disk drives read from the BOTTOM of the disk, not the top, as you may expect. As the read/write head passes across the spinning sandpaper, it will be slightly ground beyond any further read/write capabilities. This method of revenge has been tested on various losers and on my school's disk drives, and works like a charm. The disk bomb is a wonderful way to get back at a person you just can't stand, one who constantly asks for games, etc. --------------------------------------- Materials: 1 diskette 2 blue-tip matches clear nail polish --------------------------------------- Procedure: Carefully crush the heads of the blue- tip matches (they must be blue-tip or this will not work!) into powder. Mix the powder to be sure all of the blue igniting chemical that the matches are treated with is mixed in. Spread this powder very thinly on the surface of the disk inside the read/ write access hole. Carefully pour a very small amount of the nail polish on the powder and spread it out on the disk surface in the read/write access oval. Wait about an hour for the nail polish to dry. Turn the inside of the disk so that the powder mixture is not seen. Give the disk to the intended victim. --------------------------------------- If this is done properly, within 30 sec of boot-up, the friction caused by the spinning diskette will ignite the pow- dered sulfur. The burning sulfur will then ignite the plastic diskette, melt- ing it, causing a great mess inside the victim's drive.
