You will need:
1. A Steel Rod 2m long
2. 4 Wooden Stakes 1m long
3. Danger Tape

Instructions:
1. pop down the beach before an electrical storm and put the metal rod in the sand as deep as you can.
2. At a Radius of 4m drive in the Wooden Stakes at 90 degrees each.
3. Tie on the Danger Tape to the Wooden Stakes as a warning/safty rail.
4. Come back after the electrical Storm. You will need to dig out your Glass tree with care.

My 11th grade AP Chem teacher told us he was friends with a fire marshall/arson investigator who asked him how to design a fire starting device which would 1) start the fire, 2) give the arsonist plenty of time to escape, 3) be extremely hard for an investigator to detect. He then gave us the rest of the class time to each individually design it ourselves.

To this day, I still remember my general design (which I probably shouldn't post here for obvious reasons). He was a bit of an odd duck of a teacher, but we all liked him (mostly).

They mostly come at night, mostly.

The best teachers always are a bit crazy.

It makes you pay attention!

LOL! Actually, he looked a lot like a mostly bald version of Bishop from Aliens. Hmmm, I shoulda poked him to see if he bled mostly white.


The fact that you got my reference will make me happy for a week.

Unfortunately the neurons holding that info refuse to relinquish it to store something like a phone number, address, multiplication table, algerbra axiom, etc.

I imagine someday I'll just be rocking gently in a resthome mumbling sci-fi, Looney Tunes, and Monty Python quotes. When asked by a caretaker, I'll just reply "Shaka, when the walls fell."
