Yes, it has been quite some time since the last issue, but we were pressed for ideas. Luckily for all of you people that want to call Destiny Knights, the home of MM, the new user password is Mutant Goldfish, and it will be that for the next few months. The file area is almost dead (not too many text files floating around, at least not that I have seen!) and I can use the help! Also, I would like the assistance from users and readers so I can gather ideas on how to have a clue on what I should write about! So . . . I have started to make the board a little more text user friendly, as I have started to incorporate some online reading areas. Currently, I have these files (of course) and BLaH files. If anyone would like to see anything else, please let me know. I'd be willing to do the cDc files, but there are a lot of them! --- Inside: - Hazards that certain chemicals will bring - that is something every anarchist involved in chemical manipulation should know - National Stupidity Awards - a minor touch on censorship - Scanning can be fun - And as a bonus, a stirring drama. -- // / // / /// // /// // - Hazards // / / // / / Let the truth be known! Lots of the chemicals that anarchists use are fairly dangerous, but we all know this. However, most of us anarchists do not have a real clue as to HOW dangerous this stuff is. We generally know not to take two heaping teaspoons of rust and put it in milk and announce that we have created rasberry-chocolate milk. However, people have done just as stupid things with chemicals when mixing them randomly or using them wrong, or simply not taking precautions. There is one form of foul smelling liquid that I like to use to break up crowds, and it is called Carbon Disulfide. This is a relatively innocent sounding name, and the liquid itself is innocent looking; as clear as water, and it evaporates quicker than pure alcohol. However, inhaling the fumes of such for 30 minutes can cause big time problems! This is a complete list of what it *could* do to you: Carbon disulfide has definite effects on the central nervous system, such as convulsions, respiratory paralysis, narcosis, and even death. Cardiovascular problems (heart, lungs, blood) are also associated with long-term exposure to this material. Of course, this sort of thing can happen to us, but simple precautions can avert such catastrophes. I have never had a quantity large enough to smell up an area for 1/2 an hour at a time. Usually the smell lasts for about two minutes, tops, in a still area. It can come in through the skin, so be sure not spill any on yourself. I have had it in contact with my skin, but only a small amount. It felt very cold, which was because of its fast evaporation rate. I do not suggest you attempt to re-create that, however! Hopefully you have found a new respect for such a chemical if you have it or have had it! Another really swell thing that I did was that I had my jar of it located next to three things that react with it. Very dangerously react with it! Carbon disulfide does not like being placed with aluminum (I have a fine powder grade of it for thermite, so all that surface area would have been hellish, I'm sure!), azides, chlorine, chlorine monoxide, ethylene diamine, fluorine, nitric oxide, potassium, zinc, and oxidizing agents such as permaganates or sulfuric acid. Well, I had it next to my permaganate and sulfuric acid as well! I think bad things would have happened if the house caught on fire or something, so now I know to store it in a bag, a jar, and a box away from my thermite related goodies (amazing that I used all of those reactants [that I had] in the creation or ignition of thermite). Now that you know what it can do to you, here is what it does to you before you actually croak. Dizziness, nausea, vomiting, headache, euphoria, unconsciousness, and convulsions. Repeated exposure to carbon disulfide can cause neurotoxic effects such as nervousness, irritability, tremors, indigestion, headache, bizarre dreams leading to insomnia, loss of appetite, polyneuritis (?), and psychosis. If you should come into contact with it, flush with water, and if you manage to get it in your eyes, flush them with water and contact poison control. If you ingest it, drink at least two glasses of water to dilute it and call poison control! How cheery. Also, the stuff is VERY flammable! Spill some and throw a sparkler or something at it (don't sit around the flame like you did when you played with matches as a small child). -- // / // / /// // /// // -- Searching far and wide, we have come up with the winners // / / // / / of the Mindless Mayhem Stupidity Awards! The MM Stupidity Awards go to several people. Some of this is old news, but hey, stupidness is spreading and it's pretty wild what some of these kids have done. Take the following for example: Two teens in costumes caught stealing at mall - BAYTOWN, Texas -- Two teenagers armed with swords and dressed in black as ninja warriors attempted to burglarize a mall, but set off an alarm and were arrested after gathering $25,000 worth of loot, police said. A 16-year-old from Baytown and a 17-year-old from Channelview were arrested late Friday at a Sears store in San Jacinto Mall. Police said that the two told them they had entered the department store while it was open, climbed into a ceiling from a restroom and hid until the store closed. Hey, wow! This is great stuff! WHO WOULD DO THAT? Man, talk about Stupid! Yes, these kids win the Hat Kid award and are runners up for Stupidity Award this issue. I am not the one to ask about techniques on burglarizing a mall. However, I can tell you this: don't do it after they close. You see, department stores like Sears have these things called ALARM SYSTEMS! Yes, pressure pads, motion sensors, fun things like that. Chances are you will see the cameras, and you will see the motion sensors, but unless you peel up the carpet, you don't know if they have pressure plates! Leave the mall burglarization to the hardened criminals, as they get the blue prints and have a clue, you know? Assuming they are not in jail and read text files such as mine, I have a question for them: Where were they going to put the stuff? Ninja garb to me does not seem the likeliest form of transportation of $25,000 worth of loot and counting. I mean, sure you can get all of those portable CD players, camcorders, various computer stuff, but WHERE are you going to put them? Its not like they could just unlike a door and walk it home and come back! I'm sure they drove there, or at least had someone waiting. But still, the very moment they opened the doors to leave, that would set off the alarm. They would have maybe five minutes (assuming there wasn't a cop in the lot like there usually is at big malls) to escape with the goods and look inconspicuous. The real winners this file are two teenagers that had the "right idea, wrong execution" plan. Here's the story. . . EVERGREEN PARK, Illinois -- Two teens who police believe are responsible for TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS in damage to two suburban Chicago schools were in custody Tuesday. Classes were canceled Monday and Tuesday at all five schools in District 124 after the weekend rampage at Central Junior High and Southeast Elementary School. The vandals struck on Sunday night, breaking windows, spraying fire extinguishers, starting small fires and spray painting walls and desks. The two boys, ages 13 and 14, and are both students at the junior high, were being held in a / juvenile detention center (small wonder) in Chicago. Police said they found incriminating photos of the boys in Southeast School and believe they used a teacher's camera to take instant photos of each other. Officals said the classes would resume Wensday. Wow! They had a great idea going until natural selection suddenly kicked in. I can easily understand taking photos of the damage provided they weren't going to be shown to ANYONE and safely tucked away for future enjoyment. However, taking photos of themselves doing dastardly deeds is dumb. They truly deserve the Stupidity Award. Unfortunately, I do not have an ascii pic or something to show what such an award would look like, but you can use your imagination! The ninja warriors certainly did! Here's something that also happened recently. It doesn't get a stupidity award, as it wasn't stupid! It was merely his own cry for help, I guess. But the headling said "teen-ager" and "explosives charges" in the same sentence, so I had to include it: Mundelein teen-ager held on explosives charges. (Mundelein is in Illinois, by the way.) What was originall believed to be a hostage situation Wednesday night in Mundelein turned out to be a troubled teen-ager who threatened only himself, police said. The 16-year-old Mundelein boy allegedly rigged up an explosive device, which he put in his shirt pocket. No one was hurt when he took the device out of his pocket and detonated it on the back porch of his home He was charged with disorderly conduct, unlawful use of a weapon and possession of an incendiary device. The boy appeared in county juvenile court Thursday and will be held in the youth detention center in Waukegan awaiting a pre-trial hearing on Tuesday April 7th. I was hoping that was going to be cool, but it wasn't. I want to know what a lawful use of a home made weaponlike incendiary device is. Apparently, setting it off on your back porch is not one of them. -- // / // / /// // /// // --- Stop Censorship! // / / // / / Going forward, for those of you that want to learn more about how to fight censorship, or at least hear about it, call this number. 1-312-509-5018.

We all dislike censorship, and this guy has his act together and can help us out! -- // / // / /// // /// // ---- Scanners are fun // / / // / / A friend of mine has a top of the line scanner, and we went scanning recently. Portable phones have to be among the best inventions, because people are so naive when they use them. One evening while cruising around listening for conversations of interest, we came across a dial tone just as the caller picked up the reciever, and it was a strong signal. The caller apparently had company, a bunch of giggling teenage girls and boys could be heard in the background. They were pranking people over the phone, and we were able to enjoy their efforts more than they were able to, because they didn't have a clue as to how to properly prank people! At one point, one of the girls called a lady (this was at 11:30 pm on a Friday night) and said that she was calling from Chemlawn, and was confirming the dumping of fertilizer on the lady's driveway on Sunday morning. "Why are you calling me at 11:30 pm?" "Uh, well, I like do my work at home you see. I'm sorry I called so late, but I am behind, and I need to verify the order" "I didn't order anything!" "Well, would you like to talk to my manager?" This was stupid. She's at home she said. Why would she have the the manager with her? "Yes." There was s slight pause. . . "Hey, how can I do you, uh what can I do to you, uh well what can do ya for Ma'am?" "Is this some kind of a prank?" "NO ITS FUCKING NOT YOU BITCH! I run this Goddamn fucking business and this is no fucking prank call! How am I supposed to do my job when people just fucking argue with me all the time!" Click. Haha. What a good prank. They also called several indian families and offered to bring them "the shipment", as it had just come in and he needed to split it with someone. He promised good profit! This is where our celluar phone came in. By this time, we had tracked the house from which they were at (due to the signal strength) and found out their address. Calling the library, we asked for the name of the residence of the address we were at. We got it. Then we dialed 411 and asked for the phone number of the name. We got it. We called it. My friend introduced himself as Captain Edwards with the DEA, and said that not only we had been tracking their calls, but we know who they have been calling, when they had done the calls, and exactly what they had said about the shipments. He inquired as to what the shipments were, with mixed results. "Uh like we were just pranking, man!" Yes we knew that! Hehe! My suggestion for all of you is to go out and get a cheap scanner from radioshack, for example, and hook an antenna to your car that can be attached to the scanner. Then drive around listening for such happenings. The funniest we came across without doing anything about was the guy who called the gay sex party line and asked if the line was safe. We had a great time with that one! But after a few minutes, we decided to scan something else, as we were not interested in his gay sex party line conversations. -- // / // / /// // /// // «- ÿ // / / // / / At one point I was going to include my findings on a study of how well Ammonium Tri-Iodide worked. Unfortunately, the weather has not been very permitting. The Triiodide requires to dry out for about an hour, and I would much prefer to do that outside. The weather in notSunny Chicagoland hasn't been acceptable for such a task lately, and I decided I couldn't put the text file off any longer. For those of you that do not know, Ammonium Tri-Iodide is supposed to be a sensitive impact explosive (now you can see why I would not want to dry it off in the house). The substance would be made on-site and used on whatever, because storage would be difficult at best to do safely. Next issue there should be an indepth study on if it works and how effective it is. Please note that I could just copy the directions right out of the Terrorists Handbook or whatever, but the Terrorists Handbook doesn't say that it works. And I have also noticed that the few other text files that mention triiodide have copied the instructions WORD FOR WORD from the terrorists handbook (or that the handbook got it from somewhere else, I don't know!). I'll try to explain it (in the next issue) in the most original and fashionable way I can, *if* it does work. -- // / // / /// // /// // ¬- // / / // / / We here at MM hope to go to the Summercon meeting of '94. This, of course, will depend on fundage and mutual desire to go!

Then again, maybe not. Hey, who knows? And who knows why this bit of text isn't at the END of the file? -- // / // / /// // /// // ----- How nice // / / // / / Here's the stirring drama I promised. One day, On the way home from work, a red mustang pulled up next to me at a stoplight. The hatkids inside looked at me like they wanted to race, and revved their engine and went through all the hatkid motions of penis envy. So, the light turned green, and I flew away. They didn't actually race me. I felt sort of stupid. The next light was red. As I slowed down to stop at it, it turned green, and the Hatkidmobile shot past me (on the left side) as well as a dinky little red car, it looked similar to an escourt. They got far in front of me, and the mustang pulled in front me into my lane. They both slowed down to about 30 mph, and the speed limit was 45. They didn't have to be dicks, after all, we really didn't even race! This grew tiring to me after ten seconds or so, so I pulled into the oncoming traffic lane (nothing was coming) and proceeded to speed up to get past them. Since they would rather see me die than get ahead, they both sped up, but the little escourt couldnt keep up with my car, so I was able to get into the nearest lane (the mustang was in the far right, and now I was next to it). Since I needed to make a right at the next light, I slammed on the brakes and got in the right lane. I was stupid and failed to turn my brights on! The HatkidCar was not pleased. They got into the left lane, braked and then got behind me. They turned on their brights, but that's no big deal since I have an automatic "light adjusting" rear view mirror, so it didn't bother me any. I went the speed limit down the next road, and they were following me the whole way, visually upset with me. When the speed limit slowed down to 35, they pulled up next to my car and started to yell at me. I couldn't hear what they were saying - I had my windows up and the stereo on. I turned off the stereo and rolled a window down. "You fucking -" I rolled up the window. I didn't need to hear that. I sped up and got in front of them, as they didn't expect that. I needed to make a left turn at the next light. So, I turned at the next light. Naturally, they followed me some more. They got into the right lane after that, and I rolled down the left window to hear what they had to say. It was: "If you don't fucking stop the car I swear to God I'll ram your car off the road!" Oh sure, like I'm going to stop the car. BRAKE! Their license plate was LITNIN 8. Well this is good information for me. I sped back up. They were surprised I braked, and they did too, but then I shot passed them as I sped up. So, they sped up too, yelling all the while. Eventually, I was able to make a light when it turned red for them, and being hat kids, they stopped at the light. I turned down a side street, but they followed me anyway (the light didn't last long, and since I was the only car on the side street, it was easy enough for them to follow). So, since that didn't work [and like I was going to get out of the car], I kept driving. I turned onto another major road and kept going, and they were right behind me with the brights on. I made another left hand turn. So did they! Amazing how predictable they were, eh? At the next light, one of them got out of Hatkidmobile and came towards my car. I couldn't hear what he was saying because he kicked my passenger side door. The loud Bang made hearing his obscenities difficult. Well, that was an invitation to run the red light (there were more of them than there were of me! Were it even, I would have considered getting out of the car. It was a public spot, bright lights, so if anyone drove by they could see the Hats take the first swing. But like I said, I didn't want to risk attempted street fighter moves on my body by a bunch of hat kids. 3:1 just isn't fair!). So, off I went, and it took them a moment to catch up to me, as the hat kid had to get back into the car. It is unfortunate that I did not have any caltrops or even ANYTHING chemical in the car with me, as that would have worked well against them. Not even a box of tacks! So I kept going. At the next light, they didn't get out. I didn't understand why. I was planning on rolling down the window, then slamming it back up again when one of them reached into the car, then I would have tried to yank downwards on his wrist (in an effort to break it), provided he didnt yank the glass out. But I didn't get to try such a tactic! I was still amused that all of this was about them not racing me when I raced. I spotted why the Hats didn't get out of the Hatkidmobile. It seems that LITNIN 8 spotted a state police car, and did not want to get into trouble. So, I pulled behind the police car after the light turned green. Then, the police car pulled out from in front of me and kept going. Unfortunately, they chose not to follow me after that. I was deeply saddened, yet gladdened somewhat as we had driven quite far, my tape was starting to replay itself after reaching the end, and I wanted to look at the side of the car for any possible damage. Because I have a real american car, there wasn't even a dent. If there was, I would have reported the plate number to the police. Even as an anarchist, I would do so! You want to know why? Because if I was going to damage someones car, it wouldn't be after the owner saw my car's license plate, what I looked like, and what type of car I had. I'd be a little more discreet, you know, 4 am when they aren't looking. Since they were dumb, I had figured that Survival of the Fittest would work well in this case, but I had nothing to go on, not even a dusty footprint. Yet, I still had the plate number! LITNIN 8. So, the next day I went to work thinking about how I could get the information about who owns the plate, where the owner lives, and upon some investigative research, when the owner was not around but when the car was. I was then going to wait a few months and then melt a hole in the front of the car, into the engine block, and onto the driveway using a flowerpot full of thermite. Unfortunately, there was a problem. Effective since last year, the service that would have allowed me to get the name and address incorporated the idea of getting permission in writing from the owner of the plate to publish his name and address in writing for whomever wanted the information. They owner could also request the name and address of who was requesting it, and get it, because that would have been part of the agreement. Since that was a crock of shit, I can't do anything! So I invite anyone with the connections or ability to get me the name and address of those people to let me know. Obviously, I cannot do anything illegal to them after I find out the name and address. Too many people would have read the text file, and if something were to happen, my door would get knocked on almost immediately! But I would like to send a letter saying "I know where you live", you know - that sort of fun thing. -- // / // / /// // /// // - Epilouge // / / // / / The file might have been a bit on the lame side because of no real mindlessness and mayhem, but tough luck.
