Make sure to wear your safety glasses. those little springs and
snap rings can be blinding when turned into a projectile.

Did you see the episode where he takes a walkie-talkie and turns it into a
bomb to distract the mafia guys?

I saw it as a kid and convinced my neighbor to give me a 9V powered toy
walkie-talkie. Tried to cut up the audio transformer like I saw in the show,
using a razor blade. The razor slips, and strikes the tip of my left index
finger. Cuts it lengthwise like a cuke down a centimeter. After pushing it
sideways to see inside and nearly puking, I wrapped it up with half a roll
of toilet paper, and slept off the pain. It was 4:30 PM. I still have the
scar.

Oh, MacGuyver, how many injuries have you encouraged us to accidentally
inflict on ourselves?
