Vampire Killer

Discovered a very small gun while cleaning my bosses basement. It took us some time to even realize It was a gun! The fact is, it is a functional lead pencil. The lead comes out of one end, and the other end holds a single round of ammo! I have never seen anything like it....Reminds me of some kind of James Bond gadget!! But now I don't know what to do with it! It looks like the firing pin still works....the trigger moves easily enough....but it is very old and I don't know if it is worth the risk to try to shoot it. (not even sure what size round it takes. Maybe 22, but I could be mistaken) I can see no visible brand-name on this piece, so I am not even sure where to begin the research on it. Can anyone help me with info on this type of gun??

I am not sure what I have missed here, but scores and scores of people are blaming Obama for the oil spill.

I don't really understand this. First of all, I HATE Obama. I challenge you to find a peron who hates and distrusts Obama more than me....so it pains me to actually say something in his defense...

BUT with all due respect, it was the BP executives who made poor decisions from the day they installed that platform, to the day it blew-up, and to the day they discovered the massive leak.

Like I said, I hate Obama, but you really can't fault him for this mess. BP made it, and now Obama is stuck with it.

I guess my question is, what makes Obama responsible for this oil spill? I would love to be enlightened on this. Thanks for your time!

How is it that Sarah Palin keeps on returning to the public eye? She is NOT very well spoken, Her views are pretty shallow, and in general, she does not come across as very smart...but she is CONSTANTLY in the public eye. I had hopes that once the presidential elections were over, she would just disapear back into the obscurity from which she came....but she just keeps cropping-up all over the place like a poison-ivy rash.

Am I the only one, or are other people feeling about the same way as I am about her??

Working on building a model Jeep Kit (Daisy Dukes Jeep)

I tried to apply the decals to the kit and they basically crumbled to pieces as I tried to apply them.

I have built quite a few models in my day....but this is the first time I have ever seen decals crumble. The kit was stored in a garage for over a year. I am wondering if being stored in the harsh cold could have caused them to become brittle?? Any insight would be a big help..

could someone tell me how it passed? So many people are upset with some of the unconstitutional plans in it....hundred of thousands of phonecalls, letters, and email have been bogging down Washington. People who have read this bill know it's a sham and have voiced their opinions with their senators and congressmen.

Despite all that, this bill somehow managed to pass. Anyone know how this happened? What happened to a Government of the people, for the people, and by the people? Something seems to smell like a dictatorship, and I don't like it.

I have been looking to build or reproduce a replica of the good old trolley from Mister Rogers. I have not had very much luck finding info on it. I don't believe the show used a custom made engine. They were a public tv station so they ran with an extremely tight budget. For that reason alone, I think they bought-and-made some slight modifications to an off-the-shelf trolley, but there is little to no info available about it (at least not where I've looked.)

We have a train shop in town that specializes in older engines, but there is nothing in their collection that even remotely resembles that trolley.

Any help???

I really love that movie a lot. I was curious to know if anybody out there knew what the year, make, and model was of that battered old car he drives in the movie.

I thank you all for your help in advance...Have a good day.

I can admit he was a great tallent and I own a lot of his music....but there are people crying in the streets like they lost one of their closest relatives!!

In the end, just look at him!! He mutilated himself to the point where he wasn't even recognizable as the great man who he had once been. If you place a photo of him from 1982 next to a photo of him from 2002, you wouldn't even believe this was the same person at all. His newer music was also unrecognizable...it was so bad that it didn't even see the charts....and need we even go into the child molestation and drug abuse.

He started out as a superstar, and ended up as a creepy old man. In my book, Michael Jackson was already dead after the '90s, he just didn't lie down yet.

Anyone else have an oppinion to share on Michael?
