Years ago in my school, there was a great child. This child invented the most easily concealable ceiling-sticking device ever created. This child was so reckless and so brave that after being caught (every class in his schedule had twenty darts in the roof) he through one into the ceiling of the PRINICPAL'S OFFICE WITH THE PRINCIPAL IN THE ROOM. Wow. What a guy.
Through many generations (or, uh, a guy) the trick has been passed down to me. I shall share it with you.
What you need:
1. An "economic" school ceiling, the type you can lodge pencils in.
2. A piece of paper, 1" x 1"
3. A staple (light-weight, easy to manipulate)
4. A pencil eraser.
What to do:
1. Take the eraser out of the pencil. Divide it into two unequal halfs. The larger half should be the part visible outside the pencil before the eraser is removed and the smaller half should be the part of the eraser hidden beneath the metal guard.
2. Fold the paper's opposite corners and crease the folds.
3. Unbend one end of the staple and stick it through the smaller part of the eraser, so that the natural hook on the bottom holds it in place.
4. Stick the unbent end of the stable through the point on the paper where the folds meet. Attatch the larger part of the eraser on top of the paper. The staple should be sticking out to it's highest extent, straight up.
To throw, grab one of the corners and toss it underhand towards the ceiling with some force. It will stick everytime. For the best Splinter-Cell action, pretend to enthusiastically raise your hand to ask the teacher a question and throw it. You win.
I have passed this knowledge on to you. Please, don't use it wisely.

It's more sticking things in the ceiling and not getting caught while watching the teacher look around and punish someone who's not you. :-D

Awesome!
Bio: 7 darts Lunch: 3 darts Global: 4 darts English: 1 dart Art: 13 darts Math: 8 darts Spanish: A whopping 17 darts! That's how many I got up in the ceiling. A total of 53 darts. 12 were done by raising my hand to ask a question =) | |
There was new information on a thread pages and pages back in the forum.
It's definatly a legal bump. | |
I wish someone would post a picture of the completed product ;p
| |
is the tall part going out of the eraser or out of the end of the paper

You've completely lost me :D

Well, to get a picture I'd have to plug in my webcam. If you guys can't follow those simple instructions, I sure as hell don't want you playing with staples, hurting yourselves, and suing me. Begone, I say!

What to do: So I unbend one side like this ___|(instead of |___|), then stick it through the small piece. Then, I stick the unbent end through the point where the folds meet? Does unbent mean the one I haven't bent to make it straight, or does it mean it's a straight line? | |
don't people sleep in class anymore? its far more practical than sticking things in the ceiling.

A whole printable page of patterns. Wow.
