    The Potato Bazooka!

    The Potato Bazooka!

    From the people who brought you the tennis ball cannon, and the potato gun, comes the newest device for home safety and recreation!

    Well it seems to have spread across the country :-) I was talking to my dad in N.C. who said that all of the kids over 30 were playing with potato bazookas :-) And that it was developed in CA. and introduced to the East Coast. Now Rush Limbaugh ?sp. has talked about it! Well, I built one from verbal instructions and it works! It has a few bugs to be worked out, but all in all, it's very impressive. I thought I would post an acsii drawing of it to the net ;-)

    Assemble all the parts (except the screw cap) and glue them together using ABS glue. Fit the gas grill ignitor through the middle of the 12" section of tube. So far, what I have seen that works is to load a potato plug, spray a couple shots of Aquanet Hairspray into the other end, screw on the cap, and using a 30" plunger - push the potato plug down the 36" tube. Aim (never aim this at a person or animal!!) and fire! It will launch a potato plug about 1200'!!!

    I will not assume any responsibility for your ability to build this correctly, choice of fuel, ammo, or choice of target. You are responsible for your actions. Be careful and have fun.

      WHAT IS INFORMATION WARFARE?

      MARTIN LIBICKI

      Preface

      In recent years, a concept known as "information warfare" has become popular within certain circles of the U.S. defense establishment.

      War in the Age of Invisible Machines

      by Thomas McCarthy

      Introduction

      The fate of the world is determined by our actions and decisions, and many of the most profound decisions and actions are made by the largest of actors: states. The range of possible behaviors for states is partly delineated by the relations among them, as each state must always act in a world of other states. Kingdoms, republics and empires have risen and fallen over the millennia, their...

      I don't know if these will be of any use to you, being the civilized, cult- ured human beings we are, but I've been known to use them.

      ***How to kill using bamboo rods**

      Well take a bamboo stick or better yet a knife and put any type of animal excrements (shit) on the knife or the sharpened bamboo rod... Plant the knife or rod in the ground firmly... When someone steps on it they most likely will die of blood loss...

      This report is highly reliable as it is sourced from publicly available media and well-placed private individuals within sympathetic intelligence departments. It was verbally reported to me directly and previous experience has been acutely accurate.
