Security fun and interesting facts

[Scythe13]

Okay everyone, this will seem random, but you'll enjoy it.

First up, a lot of the foods we eat are unhealthy. We all know this, but I still love cake and donuts...and Oreos...and chocolate...and jelly sweets...and Pop-Tarts...and pizza...and hotdogs...and fudge..okay then, I love most stuff that doctors recommend we stay away from. But did you know that digested proteins are sometimes poisonous if they enter your bloodstream?!?!? I crap you not. One of the most fascinating of these 'poisons' is a favourite on pizza, and I've just had a load of it on some spinach. GARLIC!!! If you want to cause extreme agony and really screw someone up, tip your blades/arrowheads/pointy stabby objects with garlic. If pure garlic enters your blood stream, you're in a whole world of hurt. You can eat it and digest it, same as you can with snake venom (no joke! It is a protein and breaks down as nearly all proteins do in your digestive system...but for legal reasons, I'm recommending you don't eat snake venom). Through the digestive system, or through the blood stream, both very different effects!!!

Okay, next up, tomato plants. You grow tomatoes, you feed the non-fruit part of the plant to a person....bang, poisoned! Maybe not dead, but they'll be really unwell for a while.

Potatoes. Great to say in an irish accent. Not great to eat the little fruits from the plant. That stuff can kill you. It really isn't worth the risk. Same as the rest of the plant can cause you some real damage. For even more fun with potatoes, leave them out in the sun for a few days, and consume. Expect your funeral shortly afterwards....oh wait, that's a crap idea. Actually, no, don't do that!!! But the interesting fact is, when left out, the potato's chemical structure alters and becomes poisonous.

While we're on the track about potatoes, don't eat green ones. They'll see you laid up in bed for a while too.

Rhubarb. Delicious with custard, but the green leaves will see you bedridden at least! Make into a green jelly, label as 'fresh rhubarb' and leave for looters.

Right, sorry, what does any of this have to do with security? Well, if you want to screw over looters, you have a few ideas. For more ideas, look up Naga chillies and ghost chillies, then mix in with jams, soups, and the alike. Remember to stay away from these yourself. You will truly get screwed if you try these or get them in your eyes. A personal favourite is Habaneros (I think that spelling is right). They are delicious, make my nose run, but are so nice!!! I'll bring some chile sauce camping and you can tell me what you think. Then decide if you want to use it to screw over looters and make them easy targets.
