How to weaponize office supplies

Postby JoergS » Sun Apr 22, 2012 12:45 am

A while ago, I was asked by the popular format "Businessweek" to make a "How To" for their series of such articles. My specific task was "How to make weapons from office supplies".

Now an office is paradise for the eager makeshift weapons maker! Lots of heavy, sharp things around. So I started to play a bit - here are the results.

A part of the video - the pencil shooter - was actually published by them, the other weapons have probably been too effective (= scary lawsuit magnets) - they did not use it.

But for my true fans - here is the full "director's cut"!

I cannot believe BusinessWeek didn't green-light showing your how-to on the office built pick ax. Everyone knows in today's tough market environment, business professionals need every advantage they can find.

Imagine what that single segment could do for the career of a eager young junior manager looking to trim his department's annual pick axe budget?

Thanks for sharing the good stuff with us, Jorge!
