BOOM! headshot.

Hire a TV broadcast station with an obscure channel number, and constantly play the musc video of Rick Astley's "Never Going To Give You Up". Using a universal tv remote with the aforementioned obscure number programmed as an easily accesible button, run around pressing the button at every tv you can see, causing mayhem and other assorted emotions in your wake. Works well if you can sneak up to house windows and send the infrared signal into a room where an unsuspecting victim lies half asleep, then turn the volume up.

Can I execute Rick Astley, if I catch him?

I want to take Rick Astley zorbing, and post the video on Youtube.

bungee-jumping songage, slightly appropriate.

or rent a tv channel, run your own commercials 24/7 and pay some kids a few bucks to stick single-function IR transmitter buttons (worth about 10c each) on every car they see.

(sorry [ej], I'm too lazy to go out and trap my own ideas today)

Damn you [DrBob] for forcing me to copy and paste your anno into google translate (however I highly recommend it to all non latin-reading members)

[Old Temple Ruins - somewhere beneath the streets of Rome]

The lead architect breaks the seal on the tomb, overhead the sun pierces through the temple vaults, casting a beam through the dusty air and lighting up a plaque set above the millenia old sarcophagus.

"Oh my...it's..." Dr Rollius gasps.

He reads the age-encrusted inscription:

Diximus notum unusquisque diu
Tuum cordis fuerit dolore sed
Dicere scis nimium timidi
Quid intus factitatum novimus
Nos scire ludum et sumus amet ludere eam
Quam Favente Si quaeris
Tu etiam mihi non videre caecos

Numquam amet dare te
Numquam amet te descendit
Numquam amet currere circa et deseret
Numquam amet te clamabo
Numquam amet valeant
Numquam amet mendacium et nocent

If only Joseph Smith had included it in the Book of Mormon, the LDS church would ironically be proven true but have absolutely driven any potential converts away.
