Pen + Pencil + Rubber band + Duct Tape = Crossbow?

I can't even keep a short term goal as simple as making a blog post four days in a row. At least I have one today, with some pretty interesting stuff. First off, a few weeks ago I finally got around to using the book my mom got for me; "Mini Weapons of Mass Destruction", and built a crossbow out of a pen, it's casing, a pencil, a rubber band, and duct tape. If you can't seem to visualize it, I included a helpful picture.


It has a beautiful range of 20 - 25 feet. The only reason I haven't blogged about this before now is that I fired it earlier and the rubber band snapped. Only once I replaced it did I decide to blog about it. It's ammo is the inside of a pen, the part with the ink. I had to duct tape the tip to keep ink from splattering all over the walls!

I decided not to make this next part the title in order to make sure I didn't give anything away, but I'm sure at least a few of the readers of this already know. After taking the SSAT (secondary school admission test) a grand total of four times, I finally got into Uni High (University Laboratory High School)! In addition, I'm seriously thinking about going as a sub-freshman. Because this is such a great school to be in, I've made it my personal goal to work harder. Starting now, I'm going to try to update the blog more frequently as well as cutting down on my computer games. On Wednesday I'm going to go and check the place out. Meaning I arrive at eight and leave at four. School hours. Wish me luck!
