Well it's a practical book but it's more likely to get responses in LIterature! People don't seem to like Practice very much...:(

Where the bloody hell did you download that from?

If thats the original Anarchist Cookbook, I'd watch yourself in relation to the authorities.

You can download it from Kazaa, but its usually books like that that have viruses in them so its best to watch out. I downloaded it a while ago but my puter crashed cuz it got a virus :( I'd rather not download it now though.

Don't follow the recipies!!! They dont tell you lots of the shit can explode and kill you. You need special equipment to make explosives, so be careful.

There's a theory that CIA men actually wrote this book. I wouldn't follow the instructions either, it will get you blown up.

They didn't - trust me I know William Powell. He was the headmaster of my school (the International School of Tanganyika, in Tanzania, at which my parents were teachers), and now he runs an international school in Jakarta. He was blackmailed and almost lost his job because of his anarchist past. Suffice to say he has definitely sold out anarchism now.

The info in the book was compiled from SAS, CIA, and other security/army groups hand books. He wrote it while living next door the the woman who shot Andy Worhall.

The book itself is banned in most countries. William Powell (he generally goes by Bill) is also banned from Saudi Arabia because he wrote a book on it's royal family from his experiences lecturing at a university there (in Jeddah I believe). Anyways he's got into a lot of shit for his publications. Now, however, he and his wife are thinking of publishing a REAL cookbook.

That is amazing! You accually knew William Powell?

I never knew he was a school headmaster guy though, oddly odd...

Oh and I agree, you shouldnt follow the recepies unless you know what your doing! before you know it something can happen and KABOOM!! you lose your hand or sumffin.

Well... it's not quite as interesting as it sounds - he has completely bought into bourgeois ideals. Still, he is a very interesting and intelligent individual. He's been in administration for a number of years, but before that he tought English and Philosophy (our school's grade 12 Philosophy award is the William Powell Memorial Award).

But yes, your right that you shouldn't screw around with the recipies. I have every reason to believe that they are accurate, but if you screw up...

The Woman who shot Andy Warhol-Valorie Solanas, of the S.C.U.M. manifesto?
Since we are in literature, I reccomend you all read some of that shit sometime, its pretty funny and oddly there is some truth in it...

Yes the same woman. Suffice to say that he was not welcome in SCUM. I don't know if he really knew her, beyond living next to her. Where can you find the SCUM manifesto? Is it online?
