In my day, if we didn't like Mr Wiggins, we'd pop an upturned drawing pin on his chair.
For a major prank, we'd slip some laxative in to the staff room's hot water canteen.
We also had a nasty history teacher, who was terrified of wasps. On a hot summer's day, we gathered 10-15 of the little blighters, and decanted them in to his desk. When he started the lesson and opened his desk, all hell broke loose and the classroom was evacuated for 10 minutes (plus detentions all round).
Seems like the kids these days up the stakes a bit.
Radioactive material...tsk tsk.
What next, pipe bombs ?
Claymore mines ?
Bio-engineered terror apples ?
<shakes head>
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
Sure enough the street is closed off, pretty blue flashes everywhere and people in funny suits. I'm ok though I had a wee dram before going out the door, it's cald out there you know.
Seem's like a jolly good way to keep the fear of terrorism forefront in the minds of the public, no doubt to assist with some "new security initiative" that needs public support.
If the government really wanted to protect us from terrorists, they'd resign.

Hmm. Seem's like a jolly good way to keep the fear of terrorism forefront in the minds of the public, no doubt to assist with some "new security initiative" that needs public support.
