I was thinking a full-auto BB gun would be fun to make. I mean, it's basically the same as a paintball gun except lighter, smaller projectiles = less PSI.

Although I'm in Canada and might get in quite a bit of trouble if I was caught.

It will be considered, but I'm still looking for something that will catch my attention and make me go

Build electrical stun weapons out of disposable cameras! The photo store woll give me used ones for free!

I have built two stun guns, one pair of electrified brass knuckles, and a coil gun (shoots anything with iron in it out a barrel using only electricity, compltely silent and no moving parts). Or you could do some city college classes to enrich yourself.

Build a media room it's fairly time consuming and cheap enough if you search a lot plus way satisfying when you're finished.

Palmer: My last attempt at a coilgun failed rather horribly. I have tons of photo caps, but don't plan on using them any time soon.

Dude: That requires a room.

Hmmm...what to do. I'm thinking something with a motor or wheels.

You can do a lot of things why not some ART projects? get some sidewalk chalk and make some stenciles from the original Super Mario Brothers and create part of the first level with the chalk.

Cheap and easy

Why not try doing some photography? you can do some long exposures and make things in the air with an led

There are heaps of things you could do

Hell i was so bored i created a plastic clone of myself from packing tape and dressed it

i loved freaking people out with that hehe

Haha. WELL. You could make a rocket skateboard or snowboard?

Here was my idea. Get some snowboard "buckles" (for your feet). Screw them onto a cheap zellers skateboard. And then put some firecrackers on the back. TADA. Think about it. You'll stay on the board while it flys away! LOL.

I can see that not actually working very well. I doubt it would provide enough thrust.

I'm at a loss. Nothing tickles my fancy. (Why does my fancy need tickling?)

I only got some pics of a hand and leg i didn't take pics of the full person

All i did was wrap plastic wrap around my arms (cling wrap the stuff for your food) and then used packing tape and wrapped it around n around n around.

The plastic wrap is so the tape doesn't rip off all my leg n arm hairs lol

Don't do this on your face you will suffocate yourself even if you have someone helping

Probably won't work, my friend said that he has tried propelling himself on a skateboard with a leafblower and he only went about a slow walking speed.

Maybe you could make one of those self-balancing one-wheel skateboards, or just a motorized one (someone already said the motorized one, I think). Or maybe a go kart, but that'd probably get expensive.

The motorized skateboard in PopSci was $800, that's the problem.

Go karts are pretty impractical, no place to drive them.

Grrr...

My fancy remains untickled.
