Well heres something that I threw together when I was bored. It's a .7mm mechanical pencil that instead of lead, I put in needles. There was no modifications because the needle is almsot exactly .7mm. It's pretty sharp to :roll: . I got some pics and thought you guys would enjoy it.

Haha...I blame you for the bad ideas :twisted: Beleive it or not, I built this during school. Well I'm off to the forest to stab a couple of poison tree frogs :twisted: *referring to Apacolypto*

After people started doing this when I was in about 7th grade (way before spudfiles), I got the idea to put a small piezoelectric sparker in the back of a pen, and put a couple prongs at the ballpoint.
Nobody ever figured out how it worked, but somehow this kind of crap earned me a reputation (Actually, I think everyone started giving up this stuff after they figured out I would always beat them in the "annoying gadget race").

=P, that would be something...

@ Fnord - Thats basically the same thing at my school. I always end up getting first place in whatever we were building. Either that or I was too lazy to compete because thats how I am. What did you do with the peizo ignitor in the back of the pen? Shock people?

except that you cant really feel the shock on a piezo.

before i was into spudguns i spent a long time making shocking stuff. worked on a glove and eventually made my own little stunprod. i could never get my own tranformers i made to work right though =/

anyways, i wanted to build something that u could touch a row of lockers with and electrify them, with about as much voltage as a mosquito zapper. never got around to it though.
