More Kim Jong-il news courtesy of our man in Pyongyang, Yoel Sano. Only a madman would call his most effective weapon the Taepodong 2. It sounds as if it has deadly penetrating abilities into US ass air space.
On bored afternoons as children we would wrap Sellotape around hundreds of match heads. Then using mini crossbows, made from rubber bands and the empty matchboxes, we would fire these tiny projectiles, billowing pungent black smoke, at each other's eyes. I now realise this was the dark ages of match warfare. We should have been battling with Matchstick Rockets. Much more dangerous, and more educational as to the principles of rocketry.
More microwave experiments: new $20 bills explode if microwaved. The culprit is the embedded RFID chips, similar to those you'd find in a pack of Mach 3 Turbos that you tried to boost from Boots.
