As a kid I did many un-thought-through things. At about 10, when I first got the Lego Technical motor, I took a decent wad of fresh BluTak (which was another thing I loved as a kid) and stuck it firmly on the shaft of the motor. I then took four of my father's brand new Swann Morton #11 scalpel blades and stuck them firmly into the BluTak in an X shape. Job done. Time to try out my AWESOME BLADES OF DEATH! I started with a piece of paper. It kind of worked eventually. Not quite the devastating results I had in mind. Oh well, still good enough to destroy my older sister's Spandau Ballet poster, or at least the bottom corner. But as it feebly chewed through the Smash Hits logo and Tony Hadley's leg, my creation fell apart and flew to pieces, blades whizzing past my face.

good thing one of those blades didn't cut you or this could've been an interesting story
