|1-10 Uses For Knackered Floppies!
By Sorcerer of WILDFIRE
Ever get one of those disks with a major checksum error that can't be
removed! Do you take two bottles of shampoo into the shower instead
of one. (oops advert mode off) Well heres a list of ten practical
uses for buggered disks :-
(Something similar has probably already been included in the Word
but who cares)
1. They make great drink mats.
2. Shove one under your door and wahey, an instant doorstop.
3. You can have a great game of frisby with 'em .
4. If you get hungrey that try chewing one, they make great nourishment
and last ages.
5. Pull the metal bit off the end, buckle it and try and fit it back on
whilst getting the spring in exactly the right place. Put the disk
in someones PC and leave it there. When they try to pull it out (the
disk!) the disk should (if done correctly) stay stuck in the disk
drive. The PC user will the pull harder and the metal bit should
fall off and get left inside the computer he heh heh.
6. Don't waste money on paving slaps, selotape (tm) 16 disks together
to give yourself an instant paving slap. Waterproof too!
7. Throw the disks at any intruding cats taking a piss in your garden :)
8. Pull all the metal bits off of thousands of disks and take them to a
scrap merchant who will probably give you about 50p for your troubles.
9. Get some dodgy disks and get hold of some public Domain distibro's
labels by ordering some PD. Rip em off carefully and stick them
again carefully on the dodgy disk. Send the dodgy disk to the PD
company and say that it doesn't work. They should then send you a
working one so you have gained a free disk. Be warned though make
sure that you've tried to put the PD program on the dodgy disk
before sending it or you could be in a bit of trouble :(
10. Knackered disks also make great shoulder pads. If your a woman then
why not use knackered disks as shoulder pads simply by taping
them to the inside of the item of clothing.
All the obove may be tried at your own risk and I take no responsibility
for any damage caused by actually trying one of the above.
