If you enjoyed building the transporter device I recently described, you'll
really love this one - it will make you an even bigger hit at parties.
1. .--------. Visit your local junk yard and get a lead box or if you
|========| can't find one, use an old coffee can.
| |
| ------ | Obtain 107kg of weapons grade Plutonium. This is readily
| Coffee | available from the Russian Mafia.
| ------ | Wash your hands after handling and don't allow children
| | or pets to eat it). Store the Plutonium in the can.

| | You'll need a metal enclosure to house the device.
| | Any common variety of sheet metal can be bent to the
| | desired shape as can a metal briefcase but DO NOT use
| | aluminium foil.

| / |##| \ | gelignite. If you can't get gelignite you can used TNT
| | |##| | | packed in Playdo or any modeling clay. It is acceptable
| \ |##| / | to use coloured clay but there's no need for anything

| | Attach an RC (radio controlled) servo mechanism as used
| | in model aircraft and cars to the case and fix a small
| __ | plunger to the servo.
| /MM\ |
| \WW/ | Remote detonation is achieved when the plunger strikes a
| | detonator cap. These can be found in the electrical supply
| | section of your local supermarket. A good brand to look
| | out for is "Blasto-O-Matic".

You are now the pround owner of what used to be known as an "Atom Bomb".
Theoretically the device works when the denotated TNT compresses the Plutonium
into a crital mass. This critical mass produces a nuclear chain reaction
similar to the domino effect (named after the disasterous domino incident in
Hiroshima in 1945 in which thousands of people died). The chain reaction
instantaneously produces a massive thermonuclear reaction commonly known as a
10 megaton explosion.

========================
"It's a beautiful launch, Dr Benzine. Now, you
were saying that these so-called "protesters" to
the Saturn Probe are really a bunch of idiots,
because if they wanted to bitch about something,
they could be complaining about the rocket exhaust,
instead of a little harmless plutonium aboard the
space probe...."
