Okay, now that all the bullshit is out of the way, we can get down to business.
The purpose of this file is fun. If you are going to use these things for
killing animals, killing forests, or just killing innocent people, fuck off,
and I hope you blow yourself up!

Anyway, what is this file about? It is about things you can use for practical
jokes, or to just have good, clean fun. Be careful when you do these things,
and you've got to know that you might get caught. Here are the rules of 
practical jokes, given to me by the instructor of a course on the subject, and
paraphrased by yours truly:

1) Unless you are getting even with someone, don't damage anyone's property
unless you're ready to pay for it.

2) Unless you intend to be mean, the victim should walk away amused, or at 
least walk away. Try to make your jokes in good taste.

3) Think about what you're going to do. Don't just thing of a bunch of pranks,
and set them all up in one time. Sleep on the ideas. A single, good prank is
much better than a bunch of poorly constructed lame pranks.
Examples of lame pranks:
        Calling someone on the phone and hanging up
        Dumping water on someone
        You get the picture

4) Don't get caught! 

5) Don't brag, because someone might tip off the victim.

6) Don't get caught!

7) Don't get caught!

Okay, now, what about the meat of this file? Ideas for things you can use in 
practical jokes:

Tomato Color:
        It is this stuff you can buy in Chinatown. It makes great fake blood.

Other fake blood ideas:
        Karo syrup and food coloring mixed together.
        Metylan Cellulose wallpaper paste and water mixed with food coloring.

Alum:
        Alum can be found in sticks("NO NIX!"), or in a powder, or in
granulated or powder form in a supermarket. It will bubble up, much better than
baking soda and vinegar, when mixed with baking soda and water. It is very
useful, as it can be mixed with baking soda, and put somewhere where water will
contact it sometime.

Dry Ice:
        I love dry ice. You know what dry ice is, right? It carbon dioxide in
in solid form, and it is VERY cold. You can put it in toilets, make bombs with
it by putting it in coke bottles that have hot water in them, and capping them.
Note: that will make a LARGE explosion. I heard of a guy who got his thumbs
blown off by shaking such a bomb. It is also fun stuff to play with. You can 
make loud screeches if you put it on metal, and it sorta floats across a flat
surface. You can get dry ice in large liquor stores.

Black Powder:
        We all know the formula for black powder, right? To make some of your
very own, get some sulfur, potassium nitrate(saltpeter), and charcoal. Mix 
them up, add water and grind it all into a fine paste. Let dry, and grind 
again. Where do you get potassium nitrate? You can make it, or buy it at a 
chemical supply store. I don't remember the names of the stores now, but check
the Thomas Register, availible in the reference section of your local library
(it is a listing of thousands of companies and their services. It is BIG. Like
30,000 pages, large pages, with tiny type. Look under Potassium nitrate or
saltpeter).
        So what do you do with the black powder? Many things. Pipe bombs,
wicks, and much, much more. Be creative!

Lycopodium:
        A wonderful powder. It is the spores of a mossy plant thing, a lycopod,
and when dried, it becomes flash powder. I know you can think of uses for that.
Look it up in a plant book under lycopods or lycopodium. It may also be found
through companies(see Thomas Register), and maybe some joke, magic, or fire-
works shops.

Silicon Diodes:
        Wonderful little things available at Radio Shack, or other electronic
supply places. Wrap them around a match head(don't let the wires touch), and
connect to a 9 volt battery, reversed polarity(if you don't know what that
means, just connect it, and if it doesn't burn after 2 or 3 seconds, connect
it the other way.). Very useful for igniting things.

Hydrogen:
        Make through electrolysis(look it up!), and light it on fire. Be 
careful. If you're daring, mix it with oxygen(must be pure). Nice explosions.

Okay, that is all for now. I hope you have fun. Look for more by me!
