This is a question DIY Techno-hacks

Old hard drive platters make wonderfully good drinks coasters - they look dead smart and expensive and you've stopped people reading your old data into the bargain.

Have you taped all your remotes together, peep-show-style? Have you wired your doorbell to the toilet? What enterprising DIY have you done with technology?

Extra points for using sellotape rather than solder.

Duct tape all the bombs to the firing ranges.
By the time they've cut them all off then they will have forgotton what they were angry about.

Leaking aortas, again doable but fiddley.

Easy peasy.
bang shoulder into place and duct-tape around shoulder and arm to fix into position until healed.

easy
Duct tape lots of food to the finish line, then usher in Meatloaf (who would do anything for grub) and Rick Waller (the only man in history to appear on maps) to the start line. They'll cover the ground in the lightning fast way that only fat people can, when presented with a buffet *and* chunky competion for said buffet. The previously broken record will thus be invalidated.
