    Ok emos everywhere, this is how you do it.

    Stand at the top of a tall structure and make sure that there is something relatively soft below.

    Tie cheese wire around your neck - tight enough that it won't slip off under tension but loose enough not to choke you.
    Tie the other end to something solid on top of the structure. Make sure that there is a good six or seven feet of slack.

    Now stand at the edge and glue your hands to the side of your head. Wait until your hands are glued solidly to your head.

    Now jump off the structure. It'll only hurt for a second, when the cheese wire runs out of slack and slices through your neck. The overhang should stop you from bashing your now-severed head against the wall of the structure when the cutting motion jerks your body backwards.

    This has the excellent effect of causing whoever finds your body to think that you have pulled your head off.

    I'm just speed reading, but this file is filled with little gems.

    LRH on Data Mining - pg 117:

    By all standards modern governments are not sane.

    Thus, somewhere at the bottom of the pile is some hidden intention.

    In collecting government files and the various false reports in them, through the use of Freedom of Information Act, it is not enough to simply see they are false and DA them. This of course is a necessary action but is NOT _the_ basic action.

    One needs to construct a data bank of all documents and cross-index to get _all_ documents in their possession - using one file to find things that will detect the existence of unrevealed additional documents.

    I don't know who *you* think was primarily responsible for the Allied victories during WWII, but I'm quite sure it would be entertaining to hear. The French, perhaps? Maybe the mighty Canadian forces?

    That would be the USSR.
    The US played a secondary role in WWII.

  21. Re:Terrible idea on Computer Models Find Patterns In Asymmetric Threats · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Human behavior is not entirely random, certain assumptions can be made.
    For example, when choosing random locations on a map, people tend to scatter the locations across it, leaving a somewhat similar distance between each one of them.
    Real randomness creates clusters on the map, causing some of the chosen locations to end up next to each other.

    On the other hand, maybe I've just been watching too much "numb3rs"...

    Bottle Bomb

    Ingredients:

    * 20 oz soda bottle (empty and dry on the inside)
    * black powder (the more fine the better)
    * steady burning long wick (at least 15 seconds delay) Instructions:

    o Poke a small hole in the cap of the soda bottle.
    o Pour a small amount of black powder into the bottle (just enough to cover the bottom with a thin layer, but totally covered, no empty spots on the bottom).
    o Insert wick into the cap about halfway and put a bend in the wick.
    Note: Be careful not to break the wick or it will shorten it causing possibly disastrous results.
    o Screw the cap on the bottle tightly and set somewhere so that it is standing up.
    o Light the fuse and get back about 30 feet. Watch the bottle to light up orange. The second after this happens the bottle blows up.

    How it works:
    The fuse drops onto the layer of black powder in the bottom of the bottle after it burns through the hole. The wick ignites the powder causing it to burn. This builds up pressure inside the bottle causing it to explode.
    I have seen these fly up to 25 feet. You can try experimenting with different size bottles or, try a glass bottle with a metal cap if you have steel balls!!! Note- I'm not sure it has enough pressure to blow a glass bottle apart. It may just act like a rocket engine and flare.
