Default Flick My Bic

For the waterproofing, that's easy. I would strap it on my Bic Presto windsurfer, then head out across the lake in a gale force wind through some ferocious waves. If it survives that severe waterboarding, I would say it could take a flick of my Bic for certain.

I'd hand it over to my kids...if it can survive them, I'm good to go!

Looking for an alternative fuel source for my Vespa Scooter, I decided that the "burn" from my ioSafe hard drive would be the prefect thing. I took the Vespa out for a test drive and ended up getting into a high speed police chase! (the details are irrelevant but it had something to do with cutting a cop off at a stop sign??) Anyway, once lit the ioSafe harddrive gave my Vespa such turbo speed that before I knew it I ended up on the other side of Canada!!

encase it in thermite with a lengthy fuse, then suspend it in the nearby duck pond just before the pond freezes for the winter. once frozen, ignite the fuse and watch the magic happen. of course, the downside being that it'd be destroyed regardless since thermite burns far hotter than the case is made to withstand, but it'd still be pretty to watch. and you'd get an added bonus of a nice roast duck dinner.
