Cat was always trying to sprinkle them with salt, because then their tails would shrivel up and they couldn't fly away.2) Toilet bombs.  Not all toilets, but some toilets (especially those at school), were equipped by my enemies with a deadly bomb, activated by pulling the flush lever.  The bomb would explode when the toilet made its final gurgling sound, killing the person closest to the toilet.  I always made sure to exit the bathroom very quickly so that someone else would be closest to it and die in my place.  I wasn't a very self-sacrificing child.Daniel</blockquote>
