May 31 2007Clever Business Card
This is an incredibly clever business card put together by Melvin, a self proclaimed "hacker, entrepreneur, and all around mischief maker." The picks can be easily removed from the card and are actually functional as lock picks. Kind of puts my business card to shame. And by business card, I mean the used napkins I keep in my pocket with my name written on them. I'm a professional!
Thanks to Adam for the tip.

Wow i always wanted to give away cards that could be used as lock picks

I wonder why his address isn't included on this card?

Melvin needs to incorporate a fingernail clipper. God that's gross.

Pah! My calling card is a fully functional shuriken... well, it's a cheese and onion Pringle that I've nibbled into the shape of a shuriken.
This card would be my second choice... if I had money or a buisness or someone to give a card to.

I would take his card then use it to break in to his house.

I would preemptively steal your joke.

Anyone know where I can find this "Melvin" and ask him for a business card?
(melvin@melvin.net? C'mon, he couldn't think of something more creative than that?)

Whats so clever about this? douchebag.

A Google search of 'Melvin@melvin.net' suggests his real name is Jeremy Bruestle. But why not try phoning the number on the card, RandomNigel?

This is actually not original, Kevin Mitnik has been making and distributing business cards like this for years.... Still cool though.

Does he also give out pens that double as a tension bar?
12. ajax - June 1, 2007 4:21 PM
i was wondering that myself #11, wheres the tension wrench?

It'd be even more clever if it didn't look like a bunch of pop-out lockpicks, and was actually, you know... stealthy.

Actually the tension wrench IS included, it's the bit in the middle. You have to provide the 90 degree angle but it's there.
15. final_f_fan - June 5, 2007 9:06 PM

16. me who else would i be - June 11, 2007 9:22 PM

실내 온도를 빨리 올리고 싶다면 가습기를 튼다
외출 후 돌아와서 집이 추울 때 보일러 온도를 무작정 높이지 말고 적당한 온도로 맞춘다.
대신 가습기를 틀어 집에 습기를 더한다.
보일러를 작동시키면 바닥이 덥혀지면서 집이 따뜻해지는데,
습도가 높으면 공기 순환이 빨라져 집이 빨리 데워지는 효과가 있다.
