Does anyone remember the Jolly Rodger cook book?
im sure its already been mentioned, but i saw a post before about the matchstick heads in a tennis ball.

Surely a good portion of the experiments mentioned on this weeks QOTW relate to this most Sought after of childhood rumours..

which begs another question... Where did you actually get it from? it was stored on computer - wasnt it?

Yeah... I downloaded it pre 9/11
That was a good few computers ago so I haven't got the files anymore. Was a bit crap anyway, maybe I had a fake version.

Yes
definitely circa 1990, there was a sequel which was the same thing with more added to it. I think all those articles were circulating on usenet for years before that.

JR's Cook Book!
Sooo old - i had it on a floppy disk for my atari ST in about 1991. I wanted to try the 'poision from cigarettes' one - but didn't have the bottle to kill anyone.

Then anyways.

And there was me thinking we had been anarchic/inventive/cool :-(

For the record, we didn't use duct tape, and that's probably why we failed. However, glad to know that the total sum of human knowledge was augmented
