when we were at school, i built a gadget from a clicky pen. i adapted it so that when you clicked it a razor* blade came out of the end instead of the nib.

*pencil sharpener blade...

I may be wrong, but I'm certain "Awsome" is spelt with two e's (actually I know I'm right on this one). Or is that just to confuse anyone who may already know of this method from learning the true message of the note? Perhaps then you should write it in like binary or something of that sort. Another way of doing this is by wrapping the paper around the outside of the pen and writing your message, then putting it into the pen (works best if the paper is equally cut). Wrapping sort of like this: (front of pen) <=////////=] (end of pen). Hopefully you'll understand that the /'s is the piece of paper coiled around and so all you gotta do is write from left to right and then the receiver coils it around the pen to view the message. Works the same way as in the movie: Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, but has been used for many years, but enough about history. Enjoy your new method, get creative and use different sized objects too.

"Awsomee?" Nope, don't see it.

The cryptography method you're describing is a transposition cypher using a scytale
Apr 25, 2008. 6:13 PMFrenchCrawler says:
Try "awesome".... see the "e" after the "w"?

I know... I was deliberately being silly. :)

you did it wrong. silly.

if you sit in the back, like i do, you can just write a note on a piece of paper, and turn it into a paper airplane and throw it across the room to the reciever. this works great in my class because my teacher is a dork when it comes to noticing thing that are flying across the room, we have classroom wars all the time, and he doesn't do a thing

What grade are you in? Why do you act this way when you obviously know that you shouldn't? Perhaps your teacher expects you to act like a civilized young adult instead of a child.

I don't think that being a kid is an excuse for rude behaviour when he obviously knows the difference. At what age do you stop being a jackass?
Oct 17, 2007. 5:07 PMbounty823 says:
This is cool.Whenever I want to cheat on a test I would throw a message down the air duct

I agree this is some top notch spy stuff, all you need is a shoe phone and you're a spy (oops I'm showing my age). But seriously this is showing some good thinking in an age where privacy is an important thing.

some of us still prefer hard copy, thank you very much!
Aug 3, 2006. 1:53 AMdarkmotion says:
or you could just sms then or something...
Aug 2, 2006. 8:57 AMkawouter says:
fun, but i usually use a blue transparent pen, so you can read what you wrote. I always use is when i have a test. Used it about 50 times and i never got caught. And by the way, if you want to store or give someone a secret message... use your cellphone =P ( not recommended at tests )
Aug 2, 2006. 8:39 AMragemage says:
Bit of hot glue seals up the end and leaves the pen functioning for a little longer.
Aug 1, 2006. 8:48 PMtheRIAA says:
you should take out the cap on the end so if you blow on it, the note flys across the room, safely into the hands of the reciver. youll look totaly awsome!
