    I print out internet porn and put it in mailboxes as I walk around town. Sometimes I print out weird
    anarchist literature and put it between the books in large chain bookstores. I mail weird items (like forks,
    plastic fish, and pebbles) in the "no postage required" envelopes that come with catalogues, credit card
    applications, etc.

    Why? Someone has to.

    No comment on the first one, the second one is a tad on the amusing side, though I wouldn't do it I guess, but the third one. Well I gotta admit, the thought has crossed my mind before.

    Slant I take on mailing weird things, is some poor schlob has the job of *monitoring* some computerized high speed xray machine device that processes a zillion per hour pieces of mail, and probably once every three months actually finds a bomb or something.

    SO whatever one could do, to say make the machine at least *beep* or something, is doing him a favor. Just wrap a few items in aluminum foil. (you can always just tell the postal inspector yer a Dr. WHO fan ;-)
    I happen to LOVE to mail my friends stuff. If I can package it in fun and interesting manners all the better.
