Run Your Car Cheap with Hydrinos
Just hook up the outgoing Hydrino stream of the Joe Cell to your car's fuel intake and laugh as you drive past all those expensive gas stations. This site gives detailed instructions on building your own, or you can order the video. However, be aware that it does give off large amounts of DOR (Deadly ORgone gas). To be read with a great deal of skepticism.
HOW TO RUN YOUR CAR ON ZERO-
"l have been told that the Joe Cell is successfully being used to run; lawn mowers, tractors, cars and off roader's, dragsters, high power motor boats, stationary electricity generators, lorry's and lorry trains, earth scoopers, aircraft prop engines and model aircraft/car engines. The Joe Cell is also being used as a storage device - see feberrus cell below. This technology is now well known throughout the world and seems to be going to be the experimenters choice for fuel saving. No commercial company has yet got involved."

bin Laden's Darunta Camp Complex
This page has some good satellite photos of of one of bin Laden's camps in Afghanistan. You can really get a good idea of the terrain.
Afghanistan
"The Al-Badr I base in Jalalabad [34°25'00"N 70°27'00"E] is about 100 kilometers east of Kabul. The Tora Bora base near Jalalabad was rebuilt on the site of a camp first constructed by the US Central Intelligence Agency in the early 1980s. According to one report, bin Ladin's "Abu Khabab" camp is focused on development and training with chemicals, poisons and other toxins. This camp is named after the Egyptian who runs it, Midhat Mursi — who uses the name Abu Khabab. The camp, about eight miles from Jalalabad, is part of a complex of training sites known as Darunta [34°28'00"N 70°22'00"E], after a nearby stone dam."

The Bear Trap
This is an online book detailing the Afghan/Soviet war experiances of Brigadier Mohammad Yousaf,in charge of Pakistan's Afghan Bureau of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
The Bear Trap
"DEATH by thousand cuts - this is the time-honoured tactic of the guerrilla army against a large conventional force. In Afghanistan it was the only way to bring the Soviet bear to its knees; the only way to defeat a superpower on the battlefield with ill-trained, ill-disciplined and ill-equipped tribesmen, whose only asset was an unconquerable fighting spirit welded to a warrior tradition. Ambushes, assassinations, attack on supply convoys, bridges, pipelines, and airfields, with the avoidance of set piece battle; these are history's proven techniques for the guerrilla. For four years, from 1983-87, it was my task to plan and coordinate these activities."

The SkyBow Kite
Here is an interesting new type of kite made up of a single long ribbon anchored to the ground by swivels at each end. The ribbon will spin, producing lift. As an added bonus, it makes a loud howling noise. Full construction details and a recording of the sound are found on this site.
Jim's Skybow FAQ
"What's a skybow?
It's a new kind of kite that acts sort of like an anti-gravity rope---when you and a friend at the other end hold it across the wind it pulls upward making a huge arch in the sky."

The Ancient Art of Pen Spinning
Good thing I didn't know about this when I was in school. This site has videos of several different pen spinning techniques, from the (so they say) simple to the awesome.
Pen Spinning
"When I was in the ninth grade, my friend was spinning a pen near me. I tried to spin a pen. My friend taught me how to spin a pen kindly. As soon as I got home, I practiced spinning a pen. "Pen Spinning" is called "Pen Mawashi" or "Rohnin Mawashi" in Japanese. "Rohnin" means "Masterless Samurai". Because of hard practice , I failed the university entrance examination. I became "Masterless Samurai". I have practiced spinning a pen for 14 years. Now the number of skills is about 20."
