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.

  |                |  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...."
