- BLyn, on 10/11/2007, -1/+34The office won't be safe tomorrow. I think i'll show up early and make one just in case...
- vroom101, on 10/11/2007, -0/+26How long before we hear "No newspapers allowed in the schools"?
- wildfire, on 10/11/2007, -0/+21What about the sequins and glitter? I want to kill people with style.
- r0bby, on 10/11/2007, -0/+15You're both idiots, it's MacGyver.
- ScrabbyDoo, on 10/11/2007, -1/+16milwall scum
- gbro, on 10/11/2007, -0/+15This will make a good replacement for the halberd I usually bring to football matches.
- lcarsdeveloper, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14"Millwall, that's the one! Do you know this chant? Millwall, Millwall, you're all really dreadful, and all your girlfriends are unfulfilled and alienated" - Bernard Black
- z3rgRush, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13How To make a weapon out of a newspaper:
Print articles in it that criticize the government if necessary and keep the citizens on their toes,
and increase awareness of the public about various matters,
and question the government's practices,
and explore and debunk and uncover..... there is nothing that could beat such a powerful independent weapon. - DevinOlsen, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12Ok, tell me if I'm not the only one that thinks this is insane... Recently I've been flying quite a bit, and whenever I travel I take my skateboard with me... Now the first time I traveled with it I assumed I'd have to check it as 'special baggage', but when I went to check it I was told I could just bring it on the plane with me... So while I'm walking through security with a skateboard in my hand, getting onto a plane no problem, the person behind me is getting interrogated because they tried to bring nail clippers on board... Seems a odd to me...
- gregdogum, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12Not gonna digg this because title didnt say "HOW TO HACK YOUR NEWSPAPER"
- KMye, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13It's to make the stupid (majority of) people feel safe...
- wildfire, on 10/11/2007, -2/+14Toilet paper and toothpaste make a nice weapon too.
http://digg.com/offbeat_news/Ingenious_Dangerous_Weapons_Made_from_Ordinary_Things/all - crazybugger, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12Don't worry. We will all get electronic gadgets that will replace papers in the future.
Reason: Terrorism. - Orat, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12"A pencil, pen, or large nail can be driven from the first interior side near the middle perpendicularly through the first end so that that head of the nail securely rests against the first interior side. The nail may be secured in place by bringing the ends towards and adjacent to each other, effectively forming a crude nail bat. "
When I read this I started mentally cataloging, by body part, what sort of ***** painful injuries a nail bat could inflict. - xtrench, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12it's a ***** newspaper, folded.
- Jumboto, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11Yea, who the hell is Maverick?
- chibimmy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10Not too long. The local schools in my city do not allow kids to use paper clips or rubber bands, especially not at the same time.
- g30ff, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9Blunt weapons like this can be quite effective, especially with the advantage of surprise, but they seem a poor choice for the kind of menacing (e.g. holding a razor or box-cutter to someone's neck) that hijackers need to do. That said, I've never really understood what good the carry-on restrictions did when it's a simple enough matter to improvise garotte (cord, guitar strings, wire, etc.) or knife (using just about anything made of glass).
- lewellyn134, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8well jesus christ we have a genius in our midst i wonder what we would do without your un-failing knowledge
- PARAPA, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8OMG! How old is this? We been using these for ages back in England. Where firearms are illegal.
- ExistentialFunk, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7well, don't just stand there, take your shoe off while you're at it
- physphd, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7Pot, meet Kettle.
- mjgeo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Did MacGyver go to school in your area?
- datastorageguy, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8From Wikipedia: "Skinhead reggae magazine series entitled Millwall Brick" Skinhead reggae....wtf?
- Ozpoioz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Reminds me of that scene on The Bourne Supremacy where Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) fights a guy who is holding a knife with a rolled magazine. Pretty cool sequence there.
- FoxOrian, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6From the title I was envisioning the Paper Crossbow from Mythbusters.
I'm pleasantly surprised to find something so laughably simple yet amazingly effective. Like they say, complexity is the trademark of a flawed design :) - Abomonog, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6They have got to be kidding. As a kid my friends used to pummel each other with tightly rolled issues of the Chicago Tribune (now there's a weapon, the Sunday paper was a pretty good mace). Broke someones nose with one once but after hundreds of hours beating my best friends with them, I wouldn't rate newspaper as a really good weapon. Just have the ladies come in with a purse full of change and use it as a morning star. :)
- happyperson, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Saw all tree series of Black books last weekend. almost as good as Spaced.
- DevinOlsen, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5... As sweet as it would be to use a complete strangers tweezers/razor... I think I'll pass.
- Asianwaste, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Wow, I'm surprised someone remembered that or any comment posts 7 months old.
- crushfan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Cut that crap.. I'm really fed up with this terror paranoia. Terror's purpose is to scare people. Don't be a coward.
- yuuko, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6no, it's not. it's MekGajver.
- taraba, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Maverick? You mean MacGyver?
- PhilH, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Actually, I thought the third time was the funniest.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4I post in defense of mal1964: yesterday fscking Digg posted my comment THREE times and I looked like an ass. What is wrong with their damned software since the big software update? Recently, sometimes posts appear then disappear then appear multiple times. WTF, Digg?
- mal1964, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6 A houseflies nightmare
- idonthack, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3British skinhead and punk culture evolved from reggae via early ska.
- Asianwaste, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Personally, I just roll it up and hit people over the head with it. Works especially well on the young'uns and the dog.
- tofucrew, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Skinhead reggae is reggae from the 70's, often released on the Trojan label, and marketed towards skinheads.
The early skinheads were heavily influenced by mods and Jamaican rudeboys. They were huge reggae fans (Laurel Aiken, the Jamaican musician, still claims to be a skinhead). Of course, this was well before the rise of racist skinheads. You'll still see some (non-racist) skinheads at reggae shows every now and then. - wallace69, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Most prison inmates already know how to make weapons out of absolutely anyhting i think you`ll find.Newspapers would be pretty far down the list i think you`1ll find, in fact your more likely to get a toothbrush rammed in your eye socket or a nice jug of boiling water and sugar poured about you.
Besides....a good Glesga kiss would save you the cost of the Newspaper i reckon.
- allywilson, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4I remember these from school. Sore as *****.
- pixelate, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Congratulations, someone will be remembering THIS comment seven months from now.
- drunkentoad, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4Macguiver would be proud !
- wildfire, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Children must be awake -- ***** is getting dugg down for no apparent reason.
- wildfire, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3I got into a discussion about it with someone I knew that went to prison. Then again, he didn't need weapons -- his cellmate killed a guy and put the head in a microwave.
- SavageIndustrie, on 07/25/2009, -1/+3I didnt see ***** about toothpaste!
- moxley, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2The site doesn't really show you anything, the pictures are too small. So you can roll up a newspaper and hit someone with it.
