Or pencils.  In 1975, when I worked for a small terminal manufacturer,
some of the guys played a practical joke on one of the other program-
mers. They sharpened both ends of a pencil and taped the stripped ends
of a length of zip cord to the ends of the pencil.  They plugged the
other end of the zip cord into the switched outlet of this guys com-
puter.  Three seconds after he turned it on, <*BOOM*>!  Toothpicks
everywhere!
