I worked in a video arcade for awhile, sometime back in the day. As a result I basically know how to repair the most common afflictions that plague arcade machines, monitor/video problems notwithstanding, and I also know how to build a skee-ball machine. I can fix coin jams, stuck buttons, unresponsive buttons/joysticks, sound and difficulty glitches, and load about a million free credits on any Namco game there is.

Problem is I never figured out how to pick the lock on the cabinets.
Back in 1987 or so I was on vacation in Florida and the hotel I stayed at had a video arcade. There was a Karate Champ machine where if you kicked it in the right place it would trip the coin-in mechanism---cue the infinite credits! No lockpicking required.

Make Napalm/Mustard Gas/Plastic Explosives....
I can do napalm and I know the specifics of at least one thermitic reaction. Never use the napalm but the thermite is tempting...

~Mikaze~
In theory, shouldn't you be able to make thermite out of ground aluminum foil and rust scrapings? I saw an episode of Brainiac: Science Abuse (every episode of series three, in fact) where Richard Hammond mentioned that thermite is "iron oxide and aluminium powder". Rust and foil, right?
That is one form, yes. In general you just need a metal oxide and a more reactive metal which you mix and then heat until the oxygen starts moving from the oxide to the other metal releasing huge quantities of heat. Go Science!

I know it's just matter of defying the relatively small force that is gravity but I can't fly :(
Gravity? Gravity has nothing to do with it! All you need to do is to aim for the ground and miss!

Trust me, I haven't tried it.

I bought used jeans today and I found the guys bank statement with his social security number on it...I could probably sell it, but that would be mean, and I'm a nice guy...
