Pull off the eraser, pull out the fuse, light it, and run away. There would be gun poweder stored inside the pencil around the area where the lead is stored, and the fuse burned down to the end, it would act like a bomb and explode, sending hundreds of flaming pencil fragments, graphite (the "lead"),
and melted eraser all over the area. Why would this be needed? Use for personal protection, or If you have a large amount of unwanted documents you need to destroy and had no paper shredder, let the exploding pencil get rid of it! "But, wouldn't this light your desk on fire too?" Not if you got the special flameproof Destruction Dome that comes with every exploding pencil used to contain the explosion.

The way to make this really slick is to have the pencil full of a gunpowder/clay mix instead of graphite. Then you could light your words and destroy the document. In a pinch you could light the whole pencil. Be careful when vigorously erasing. |

[po], if it were indeed pointless, it may be dangerous to sharpen it....... |

I need to try and find a way to use 'documnets.' |

[After the sixth time a case folder slid down the crack between the desk and the wall, Thomas had Documnets installed.] |

<begin sarcastic remark> No shit, graphite and lead are the same thing? Thanks for clarifying!<end sarcastic remark> |
|
| |
Flaming graphite? The heat source is gunpowder? |
|
| |
Mach. are you sure about that or being doubly sarcastic? |
|
| |
Why is mispelling documENts such a major problem here? |
|
| |
Cos we're a bunch of anal retentives :-) |
|

You can expect a lone-bun from AfroAssault any time now...... |

would stop people chewing on their pencils |
|

Or is that a bunch of anal retnetives, [wagster]? |

Why not make it like agrenade and just pull off the eraser to set off the timer. It would take some time tos pulll it off, take out the fuse, light it, then have the timer go off. And who carrys something to start a fire around nowadays? Tons stopped smoking. |

Baked, and much more fun than we thought it would be. |

(Hint: It's easier to get the lead out of cheap pencils) |
