Box T.V screen first on a persons head. Shock kills them. Scissors and knives for cutting, frying pans and rolling pins are for bludgeoning, chairs for heavy beatings, disks as ninja stars if you can sharpen them, batteries with string, tape and plastic wrap as explosives, pipes with gun powder and metal pieces with a fuse makes a pipe bomb, chlorine gas in a jar is a toxic bomb, the list goes on and on.

Egg beaters. Seriously. Why beat your enemies when you can churn them up and make them into a cake?

Bonus points for modifying it with bits of knives/razors to make a makeshift Painkiller (from the game, Painkiller).

Spades and/or Garden Forks would probably work pretty well too.

That, my friend, was the end of Brain Dead, what I consider the best film by the then upcoming director Peter Jackson, best known for The Lord Of The Rings series.
And evil dead.
The Evil Dead series comes courtesy of Sam Raimi.

Possibly a pillowcase filled with knives.
I seriously laughed out loud. What the fuck...? I so have to try that.

OP: Anything can be a weapon, if simply as a projectile. That said, anything other than my baseball bat or a kitchen knife, I'm usually better off using my fists.

Text books; especially if dropped from a great height, Home Alone style

Glass bottles such as beer/ wine bottles would also make for excellent weapons. One-use melee weapon which turns into a stabbing weapon which is especially damaging if you can break off some glass inside of the wound.

Other great household weapons include pool ques, baseball bats, hockey sticks, hockey pucks, bowling balls, (American)Footballs [if you're able to hit the eyes or knee-caps], large, old style ipods [or 80GB Zunes] with the wires attached so as to use them as a flail, knives, forks, Cell phones [as there is a way to jury-rig them into a stun-gun of sorts], any given cords, ropes or, wires, plastic bags, garbage bags, glass-framed photos, Golf Clubs, portable CD players, small LCD/ Flat screen televisions, computer monitors, any hard-plastic toys, original Xbox, Dreamcast, Dreamcast portable [though I wouldn't want to use one of those as a weapon]

...

that's all that comes to mind ... According to Manswers, phone books and LCD/flat-screen monitors make excellent forms of "armor"

DVD's Ninja Death Discs.

On another note. Deodorant could make a good make shift Dildo in a pinch
...

I don't even want to know. Especially considering my deoderant can is in this [http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aWwr8g03OwY/SojgXePpoJI/AAAAAAAAAR8/Xgo5QmsmXeo/s400/lynx_deodorant_body_spray_dark_temptation_11363.jpg] shape.

Any sort of electrical wire/cable could be used to throttle people I suppose.
How is a "good make shift Dildo" a decent weapon? You must have taken some pretty F--king weird martial arts classes.
Or the best Martial Arts classes.

So, i come before you today, my fellow Escapists, with a simple yet intuitive question:

What regular, seemingly impractical household implement would double as a weapon of mass destruction?
What you speak of is similar to Hwa Rang Do, a Korean martial art focused on familiarity with traditional and improvised weapons.

Inside Tae Kwon Do - February 1993 Issue said:
By training in the basic use of the 20 categories of weaponry found within the art of Hwa Rang Do, the practitioner can most effectively utilize any object as a weapon as the situation deems appropriate. The use of "field expedient" weapons - such as pens, pencils, books, sticks, rocks or stones, umbrellas, canes, cups of coffee, tree branches, trash can lids, clothing, ad infinitum - makes these multitude of potential weapons available to the practitioner of Hwa Rang Do without having to carry "weapons" with them wherever they go.

As in the training of the traditional 108 individual weapons, these impromptu weapons can be an extension of the trained practitioner's self and thus effectively be used within the specific needs of the self-defensive situation at hand.

Of course, I would have to go with the can of "hairspray and a lighter" Instant flamethrower >:)
Of course, there's kitchen knives for close range, pencils are good for stabbing, and one could always benefit from a nice cast-iron frying pan

Forgot to add what my choice of impromptu weapons would be.... First choice would be a corded 360 controller, and use it as a flail or grappling weapon. Plan "B" would probably involve my solid steel office chair... that would leave a mark!

Frozen Tuna. A good bludgeon.
A cork-screw is pretty gruesome I'd say for sneak assassination kills. But you would hardly stay hidden using it hmm.

one of my bass guitars would be good
Yep. I have an Ibanez ATK-300, and I swear that thing is made of stone.

You want something that's fast, easy to use, not awkward, and heavy enough to do damage, but not too much to slow you down.

In addition to the bass, I'd go with:

- Lamps, especially metal ones
- Steak/Butcher Knives
- Small Glass Tables
- Cordless Irons
- as well as the world-famous frying pans and aluminum bats.

Also, almost anything found at the Home Depot:

- Chains
- Large Hammers
- Power Drills
- Nail Guns
- Floor Tiles
- Wrenches

and finally:

- Cordless circular saws You wouldn't even have to use it on them. I'm guessing running at someone with one of those would make even a zombie turn and run. Plus, they're lighter than chainsaws and easier to use with one hand.

Frying pans, they are durable and deadly! I remember this show a while back showing the defensive properties of common household items, and the frying pan took 1st place.
