    I googled it, and found A patent description for a wire cutter that is operated with an explosive charge[^]. Now that is one tool I don't particularly want in my tool box. "Honey, can you put a new plug on the hoover as I ripped it off again." "No problem, just let me get the explosives."

      First off, calm down. Second, what you're looking at, isn't actually an "explosive device", it's called a Computer Power Supply ... :rolleyes:

              Pour liquid nitrogen over it all, coating well, and then just cut all the wires.

                Hand the cutters to someone else, walk behind a wall and use a radio to tell *them* to cut the grounding wire from the battery to the timer circuit. Then put your fingers in your ears and count to ten slowly...

                        Agreed. I'd just put 15 red wires, with 15 batteries, 3 displays with different times. Have fun! :-D

                          That of course is assuming the bomb can fit in the microwave :rolleyes: Could always just put a big magnet over the electronic parts.

                                That's the same advise you gave me for fixing my internet problem, and that didn't work out so well for me. I think you give bad advise, and probably shouldn't be trusted. Not to mention the fact that you also told me that I didn't have to worry about spilling that stuff, and you were wrong. I don't think Mr. fluffy is ever going to forgive me, even if he does look better with a shorter tail. ;P

                                    Clearly you didn't follow the directions did you? I suspect that you stopped reading at the word "frozen", got excited, hit the Any key, and hilarity ensued from there. Truly Douglas, you need to improve your mad reading skilz. PS: Tell Mr Fluffy I'm sorry, but I warned him about cross pollination relationships...

                                      Next time shave Mr Fluffy first. A splash of lN2 on the skin won't do anything since it'll 'float' on a cloud of evaporation until it rolls off and hits the floor. It's when you get it in something like hair of clothes that absorbs it that you need to worry about frostbite.

                                        Fly it into outer space and plunge it into the middle of an asteriod, preferably one that's heading for earth.

                                          But wait ... if I just pour that stuff on Mr. Fluffy, his fur will freeze and fall off ... that's WAY easier than trying to hold him down and shave him ... See Jim! Why can't you give solid advise like Dan here?!?! Now where's Mr. Fluffy . . .
