8 Ways to Kill Someone with an Ipod Nano
Digital media is a part and parcel of our lives. Folks like to listen to music and watch videos on the go whether they travel or work. I believe some out there show preference to portable media players featuring high storage capacity, various media formats playing back digital content in your cans.
I should say Ipod Nano, a portable media player designed by Apple, has many media fans-consumers. There is a great demand for the iPod Nano nowadays. Why? The small iPod combines features of iPod shuffle and iPod classic, lets you enjoy TV shows, movies, video podcasts and many more.
Surely, with greatest pleasure we make use of this stunning gadget and don’t suspect what threatening it may bring. Manual dexterity, special combat training, skills and experience are constituent parts of successful implementation.
By the way, ex-marine Brad Collum shares “eight ways to kill someone by using an iPod Nano”.
1. Break the Nano in half with your hands and use the glass viewing screen’s broken edge as a razorblade to slice the jugular when they are looking the other way.
2. Take off one sock (or something like this), place the Nano in the sock, swing it around as fast as you can (don’t not hurm yourself), and whack the intended target right on the temple.
3. Make use of the reflective shiny part to reflect sunlight into a drivers’ eyes blinding them, or if you are at a rock concert and the lead singer is prancing around on a center stage that protrudes into the audience like a phallus, you can use the same technique.
4. Use the cans’ cord to choke them.
5. Dig a pit about 5 feet deep, then take about 15 3-foot-long stakes 2 inches in diameter and sharpen one end to a fine point, like a very sharp pencil. Jam the sticks at least a foot into the ground, with the sharp ends pointing up. Cover the hole with pine boughs, grass, and leaves. Treat the Nano like a slice of cheese pizza in a deep, hot oven and place it gently in the middle.
6. The lithium-ion battery pack is a toxic agent that can be used to poison a person’s food and drink. With that end in view you should break the battery pack and saturate tea, coffee or soda with it.
7. Download to the Nano “We’ve Only Just Begun” by the Carpenters. Tell someone you will give him or her your Nano if they listen to that song a hundred times in a row.
8. Hide the Nano in a bowl of lutefisk, then take it to the annual Norsefest Lutefisk Eating Competition in Madison, Minnesota.
