FBI Releases File On the Anarchist Cookbook

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the naughtiness-from-my-youth dept.

An anonymous reader noted that the FBI has released its file on The Anarchist Cookbook, the 1971 manual of mayhem. It's a pretty long PDF that isn't actually OCRd but there's some crazy stuff in there. But my personal favorite is the scanned in images of 3.5" floppy disks.

    There was a chemistry teacher at my high school who had a copy printed off and bound on his front counter desk.

    Of course, he also like to set up those little green plastic army men on that counter during tests, pour flammable liquid over the scene, then light it and play with them, making sound of death and agony as they melted.

      They have to offer some job perks to encourage people who could be chemists to endure a classroom packed with children...

      Nice, I remember my Sr. high school chemistry teacher not smiling a lot, except for on the one day of the year when he demonstrates the power of group 1 alkali metals and acetylene. For the acetylene he would fill a balloon with the gas, open up all the windows as well as open fire doors to the outside, then had a student wearing protective gear use a glowing splint to pop the balloon. He would be giggling the entire time, which to say was a little disconcerting at the time.

    That's how I backed up all my floppy disks, too!

      I kept the important ones on the fridge with a magnet, so I knew where I could find them.

    Back in the day, like in 7th grade or something, a guy at my school took it with him to school because we were all very cool back then. Then they had a meeting with his parents, lol.

    Almost as cool as using "lol"?

    I always found Anarchists a bit gamey, no matter how they're cooked.
