Step 1The Potato Heart

The Potato Heart
In this episode we used a peeled potato for a heart. In a previous episode of Indy Mogul, we created a more realistic heartusing pumps and balloons. But this a good alternative.

Take the Potato and peel off all of the skin. Next shape the potato into a rough heart-like shape. Next Spray the Potato with red spray paint.

Fill the old plastic food container with 16oz of fake blood, and put the potato inside.

Next, lay hot glue around the outside of the container, and place the aluminum foil on top. Make sure you secure the foil, so that no blood drips out of it when it is turned sideways. Then cut off the excess foil.

I like Indiana Jones's movies but I don't like the "Temple of Doom"...

Seconded!

I thought I was the only one who felt that way and quit saying so after being mocked and ridiculed by society.

I say it now, though.... Temple of Doom was lame.

to really rip someone's heart out you need to either use a palm strike or a punch to break through the sternum than use karates spear fingers or kung fu's tiger claw to get through the shards and then just hook and pull

You should use a baked potato and then when you rip out the heart, YOU EAT IT!!!

Shrek: For your information, there's a lot more to ogres than people think.
Donkey: Example?
Shrek: Example? Okay, um...ogres...are...like onions!
Donkey: -sniffs onion- They stink?
Shrek: Yes...no!
Donkey: Oh, they make you cry.
Shrek: No!
Donkey: Oh, you leave them out in the sun and they get all brown and start sproutin' little white hairs.
Shrek: NO! LAYERS! Onions have layers. OGRES have layers. Onions have layers...you get it. We both have layers.
Donkey: Oh, you both have layers. -sniffs onion again and winces- You know, not everybody else likes onions. -pause- CAKES! Everybody loves cakes! Cakes have layers!
Shrek: -restraining temper- I don't care...what everyone likes. Ogres are not like cakes!
Donkey: You know what else everybody likes? Parfaits. Have you ever met a person, you say, "Hey, let's get some parfait," they say, "I don't like no parfait"? Parfaits are delicious.
Shrek: NO!!! YOU DENSE, IRRITATING, MINIATURE BEAST OF BURDEN! Ogres are like onions! End of story! Bye-bye! -whispers- See you later!
-walks away-
Donkey: Parfaits may probably be the most delicious thing on the whole damn planet!
Shrek: You know...I think I preferred you humming!
