Hasta La Gadget!

If I’d had this design back when I was a cubicle-bound temp then, well, lets just say I would have been fired even sooner than I was. The Pencil Crossbow is one of the designs for the book Mini Weapons of Mass Destruction by John Austin.

The crossbow is fashioned from just four pencils, a biro and seven rubber-bands, cunningly combined to make a deadly-accurate launcher which is guaranteed to take somebody’s eye out. The book allows for some escalation of inter-office wars with trebuchets, catapults and even printable targets to practice before an all-out assault on your boss.

We love this MacGyverization of office supplies, and the book is probably the perfect Christmas gift for the man who has nothing, or the cubicle monkey in your life. Especially if you want them to be spending more time at home. A lot more time at home. $17.
