BOOM Issue 10 - Part 3 - BOOM Introductions  
 
   Welcome back to Boom.  After taking more than one month off, we have 
finally decided to start up the presses once again.  Since last May, many 
things have changed.  Gut's Shroud of Deception was shut down.  Then, Black 
Crow started up and shut down after less than a month.  After Black Crow, 
Watson started Center of Darkness.  This board was pretty good, but his 
parents ordered him to shut it down.  Finally, Jimmy the Thief (handle: 
Zeek, more about him later) started a board called the Viper's Den.  This 
pathetic piece of shit will hopefully be shut down by the State Police when 
they put him in prison for a few months (more about that later too.) Now, 
Gut and Yavo are thinking about putting up boards... oh well, Boom can 
probably survive without a local home board for a while.   
   In addition, two of the more devoted readers of Boom, Sophere and 
Bladesinger have left for college.  We hope they are able to get on the 
Boom mailing list wherever they are and continue to provide suggestions and 
comments as they did with issues 1-9.  
   A lot has happened to the authors too.  In late May of last year Shadows 
and Crimson Jihad almost killed themselves with Chlorine gas (it was an 
accident, really!) But that incident did allow us to write a very simple 
recipe for making one of the deadlier gases known to man, which will appear 
later in this issue.  But most importantly, Crimson Jihad, Watson, Jimmy the 
thief, and Braindead were arrested for vandalism and larceny (the latter 
charge is completely undeserved, but they got charged with it anyway.) This 
may bring about the sale of Watson's computer and most probably the shutting 
down of Jimmy the thief's piece of shit board.  
   A lot has happened in the real world too, but I figure most of you 
readers either already know about it or don't give a damn at all, so I won't 
spend too much time on that area.  But there is one interesting thing.  The 
Oklahoma City bombing...  NOT done by an Arabian.  This came to a surprise 
to me too, but it figures, in this time of uncertainty it is completely 
natural to have a country's own citizens fighting against it.  But, this is 
also very bad.  Our citizens are wealthier and more educated than most other 
countries.  This makes their attacks all the more harmful.  Other people 
realize how bad this is too.  This even affected Erik Bloodaxe, editor of 
Phrack, one of the most respected hackers of our time.  Just in case you 
didn't catch it here is what he said in Phrack 47: 
 
 "The last controversy surrounding this issue came at the last possible 
second.  In the several years that I've been publishing Phrack, we've 
received all kinds of files, but remarkably, I've never really received any 
"anarchy" files.  However, in the last several months I've been inundated 
with files about making bombs.  There were so many coming in, that I really 
couldn't ignore them.  Some of them were pretty damn good too.  So I 
figured, I'll put several of them together and put in ONE anarchy file as a 
kind of tongue-in-cheek look at the kind of stupidity we have floating 
around in the underground. 
 
Then the bomb went off in Oklahoma City. 
 
Then Unabomb struck again. 
 
Then the politicos of the world started spouting off about giving the 
federal law enforcement types carte blanche to surveil and detain people who 
do things that they don't like, especially with regards to terrorist like 
activities. 
 
Normally, I don't really give a damn about possible repercussions of my 
writing, but given the political climate of the day, I decided that it would 
really be stupid for me to print these files.  I mean, one was REAL good, 
and obviously written by someone who learned "British" English in a non 
English-speaking country.  I mentioned my concerns to an individual who 
works with the FBI's counter-terrorism group, and was told that printing the 
file would probably be the stupidest thing I could possibly do in my entire 
life...PERIOD. 
 
So the file is nixed.  I really feel like I'm betraying myself and my 
readership, for giving into the underlying political climate of the day, and 
falling prey to a kind of prior-restraint, but I really don't need the 
grief.  I'm on enough lists as it is, so I really don't need to be the focus 
of some multi-jurisdictional task-force on terrorism because I published a 
file on how to make a pipe bomb over the Internet.  (Hell, I'm now even on 
the Customs Department's list of ne'er-do-wells since someone from Europe 
thought it would be funny to send me some kind of bestiality magazine which 
was seized.  Thanks a lot, asshole, whoever you are.) Obviously, the media 
think the net is some kind of hotbed for bomb-making info, so I'm usually 
the first to satisfy their most warped yellow-journalistic fantasies, but 
not this time. 
 
I really hate what I see coming because of the mess in Oklahoma.  If the 
American government does what I suspect, we will be seeing a major 
conservative backlash, a resurgence of Hoover-esque power in the FBI, 
constitutional amendments to limit free speech, and a bad time for everyone, 
especially known-dissenters and suspicious folk like yours truly.  Be very 
afraid.  I am."  
 
  Phrack giving in to the authorities... my what a different world we live 
in than just a few years ago when Erik would have most probably have just 
said "fuck it" and published the anarchy shit anyway.  Well, I guess 
everyone will just have to get a new favorite h/p/a mag.  Oh, and thanks for 
the "kind of stupidity we have floating around in the underground" crack. 
Let me think... you clear your articles through the F.B.I.  That clearly 
makes you part of the underground.  Right Erik?  
 
Boom Issue 10 - Part 4 - BOOM!  
 
C-4:  
  
  Materials:  
   heat source  
   battery hydrometer   
   large Pyrex or steel enameled container  
   potassium chloride 
 
  Instructions:   
   Take one gallon of bleach and place it in the container and begin heating 
it.  While this solution heats, weigh out 63 grams potassium chloride, add 
this to the heated bleach.  Bring this solution to a boil and boil until 
white fumes appear.  When checked with a hydrometer the reading is 1.3, (if 
battery hydrometer is used, it should read FULL charge.) When the reading is 
1.3 take the solution and let it cool in the refrigerator until it is 
between room temperature and 0 degrees Celsius.  Take out the crystals that 
have formed and save them.  Boil this solution again and cool as before. 
Filter and save the crystals.  Take these crystals that have been saved and 
mix them with distilled water in the following proportions: 56 grams per 100 
milliliters distilled water.  Heat this solution until it boils and allow to 
cool.  Filter the solution and save the crystals the form upon cooling.  The 
crystals should be relatively pure potassium chlorate.  Powder these to the 
consistency of face powder and heat gently to drive off all moisture.  Melt 
five parts Vaseline and five parts wax.  Dissolve this in white gasoline, 
(camp stove gasoline), and pour this liquid on 90 parts potassium chlorate, 
(the powdered crystals from above), in a plastic bowl.  Knead this liquid 
into the potassium chlorate until completely mixed.  Allow all the gasoline 
to evaporate.  Place this explosive in a cool dry place.  Avoid friction, 
sulfur, and phosphorus compounds. 
 
      AND I MEAN AAVVOOIIDD SULFUR  
 
 
Tennis Ball Bomb: 
 
  Materials:  
   A Tennis Ball   
   A Knife   
   Several boxes of wooden matches (not safety matches)   
   Hockey Tape   
   Gunpowder   
   A Sparkler   
   Flint 
 
  Directions:   
   1) Cut a small round hole in the ball with the knife 2) Take the flint 
(the kind used for flip-top lighters) and crush it into a powder 3) Separate 
the wire handle from the sparkler and grind it up 4) Mix the flint and 
sparkler powder together with gunpowder 5) Pour the mixture into the tennis 
ball 6) Cut off the match-heads and pack the ball with them until you can't 
fit anymore into it.  7) Use the tape to cover the hole completely 8) The 
grenade will explode on contact with any solid surface, producing large 
amounts of flame and flaming projectiles.  9) [optional] For a delayed blast 
grenade, insert a dry fuse into the hole before you tape it up. 
 
    These babies are easy to make, light weight, concealable and do plenty 
of damage for their size....in general, a kick-ass weapon.  You can make 
dozens of them for hours of enjoyment.   
 
Chlorine Gas:  
  Materials:  
   Works(TM) Toilet Bowl Cleaner  
   Chlorine Bleach  
 
  Directions:  
   You ever noticed how Works says "Do NOT mix with chlorine bleach"?  Well, 
to make chlorine gas you simply do that... mix the chlorine bleach and 
Works.  We're not exactly sure of the ideal ratio, we never did much testing 
after it almost killed us.  Be careful with this shit, in ideal (or, wait, 
that wouldn't be ideal would it?) conditions two good breaths will kill you 
(or anyone else). 
 
Boom Issue 10 - Part 5 - BOOM Red Boxes  
 
  Ah, red boxing, the art of getting free payphone calls by tricking the 
machine into thinking you inserted money (while you actually just played a 
tone).  Most people, especially those dumbasses like Norm, completely ignore 
this box as bullshit, like most everything you read in the h/p/a world (i.e. 
the infamous Blotto box).  Many of the others, who would like to try red 
boxing, are discouraged by the illusion that it is hard (and the lack of 
clear instructions, oh and the lack of balls).  But, as we will show you... 
it's easy, it's effective, and pisses the TelCo company off real good.  
  Boom has learned from many other sources (you see, we have no first hand 
experience how to do this [we've never done it ourselves {you see, we don't 
have payphones here officer}]).  "Red box?  My shoes came in an orange box. 
I have no idea of what you speak.  I am colorblind...  I wouldn't know a red 
box from a blue box officer.  I don't use payphones, they cost too much. 
Besides, I've never really figured out which end the quarter goes in, and I 
don't know Morse code, so it wouldn't be of much use anyway."  
  OK enough bullshit.. lets go through Boom's step by step red boxing 
tutorial.  What is red boxing?  Well red boxing is simply taking a li'l box, 
walking up to a pay phone, and playing pre-recorded (or generated) tones. 
These tones, which are the same ones the pay phone makes when a quarter is 
inserted, are accepted by the pay phone as quarters.  Simple huh?  In fact, 
to no be able to do it you have to live in New York and be named Garry (read 
on).  
   Here is the 5 step process in red boxing:  
 
1.  Go to Wal-Mart, K-Mart, etc. and purchase a digital recordable memo 
recorder.  This should run you about $20.  If you are unable to swing that, 
a Hallmark recordable greeting card will also work, these are about $5.  
 
2.  Record the tones.  Go to a pay phone with an extra loud speaker (or use 
Blue Beep), and record the tones as you drop quarters in (of course, press 
the coin return lever so you get these back.)  
 
3.  Dial the operator.  Say "fuck you." Or wait, don't do that quite yet 
(save it for when they figure out what you're doing.) Ask for information, 
and remember to say "please." Give information the number that you wish to 
call.  Wait for the pre-recorded message saying "please deposit x cents to 
be connected to the number."  
 
4.  After the message has been played, hold the speaker of your red box up 
to the microphone of the phone and play your tones.  Do not hold the speaker 
to close to the microphone as this sometimes causes distortion and will 
cause you to be routed to the operator.  If this happens, you can then say 
fuck you.  
 
5.  Talk to the person you are calling.  
 
  I hope you enjoy this free calling card.  If you can't do it, then you 
don't deserve the free calling.  
 
Boom issue 10 - Part 6 - BOOM Arrested?  
 
  What happens when your rip off a pop machine?  Give up?  A loser that you 
took along with you narcs on everybody and leaves key evidence behind, or at 
least that's the way it went with me.  Crimson Jihad and I [Watson] decided 
to try to rip off a pop machine with the 'salting` technique.  Crimson had 
read about it in the paper a while back, and we wanted to try it for 
ourselves.  Some friends of ours were in town (people from a local BBS we 
hadn't met before) so we took them along.  The one 20 year old, who we will 
refer to as dumbass informed Crimson and I that he had successfully done it 
before so we decided to put him in charge and watch.  When we arrived at the 
pop machine (Notice I'm not saying Soda Machine because I'm not a freak from 
Michigan' Upper Peninsula, or the dumb ass cop who I had to make a statement 
to.) we tried to just pour the salt water (or salt solution as the cops so 
brilliantly put it) into the machine but going straight from the mouth of 
the 20 oz container we were using, into the coin slot appeared to work like 
shit.  Dumbass had the idea to funnel the salt water into the machine.  Ok 
good idea, but who's got a funnel ? Crimson has a funnel, ok so it's a 
glossy CPR card that he folded into a funnel.  Dumbass stuck it into the 
coin slot and poured the salt water in.  Wow... after about 30 mins believe 
it or not....  NOTHING happened...  [wow big surprise] We decided to give up 
after receiving 35 million new mosquito bites.  After taking Dumbass and his 
friend back to the place we met them we (Crimson and I) drove around and 
went home) [No he went home and I went home, not the same house don't be a 
pervert] The next day, while I was enjoying the day watching a movie with a 
female friend of mine <it's Brea, does that really count?>, in a good mood, 
Shadows pops over to ruin everything (thanks Shadows I still appreciate 
that).  Shadows informed me that Crimson had just got nabbed by the cops. 
So I finished the day in paranoia waiting for the cops to come.  Well my 
friendly cops decide to pop over three fucking days later.  [Thank you 
lovely pigs] Apparently [I learned at the police station] Crimson's CPR card 
(with his name, address etc on it...) was left curled in the pop machine. 
The cops that had visited him the day before learned everything their was to 
know from Crimson... including my name, and the fact that I was the driver. 
Well to get right down to the point and stop wasting your time.  I was 
charged with felony malicious destruction of private property, and a felony 
account of larceny.  (G fun) Crimson just received malicious destruction of 
property.  Gosh our cops must be really smart, ok the destruction part I can 
understand cause I guess we fucked up the machine good, but where does the 
larceny come from?  We weren't even successful in ripping it off.  Oh well 
live and learn.  I now await my court date to see just how much I owe... 
although I'm not scared..  I'm still a minor and two felonies at age 16 is 
no reason for going ballistic.  [at least my opinion].  However I guess 
dumbass was already on probation, and like I said he is 20... so I don't 
think he will be getting off as lucky.  The reason why I call him dumbass is 
simply because he left the card behind.  I don't know him well enough to 
form a real opinion of him.  I will leave you with these words: "If you 
think your never gonna get caught your wrong, you will get caught 
eventually, if you want to let that stop you from doing bad, it might not be 
a bad thing, if your a true anarchist at heart your still gonna cause chaos, 
you are the only one that can make that choice, but always keep in mind the 
consequences, and MOST important of all.....  Drink, Drive, Live, Fuck, and 
Smoke Pot" -Watson's Words of Wisdom 
 
Boom issue 10 - Part 7 - BOOM Gets Pissed  
 
  There's really only one person to annoy this issue and that's (obviously) 
Jimmy the Thief.  His handle is Zeek, he's 20, and he lives with his 
parents.  He used to run a pathetic board called Viper's Den (although at 
one time the message menu ANSI said "Niper's Den").  He blew up a driver's 
ed car a few years ago and got busted for it.  Then, within the last year, 
he stole computers from a local computer store where he worked and tried to 
sell them to the other local computer store.  The owner of the computer 
store that he tried to sell the computers to told the police, but they never 
got enough evidence to arrest him.  Hopefully he'll get what he diserves 
from the pop machine incident.  Only a moron would leave such blatant 
evidence at the scene of a crime.  
 
Boom issue 10 - Part 8 - BOOM In The Woods  
 
  ON a recent nature hike (wait, no, that's not it...  let's call it an 
animal hunt, in city limits of course) Watson and Shadows discovered a shack 
in the middle of of the woods on top of a big hill.  At first, Watson 
thought it would be a good place to throw a party, but the pot screwed with 
his depth perception and it actually turned out to be 5' by 5'.  The shack 
was equipped with more power than both our blocks and had a 50 - 100' ham 
antenna on top of it.  One can only that ham equipment lays inside, but 
Watson and Shadows have not had the time to confirm this belief, hopefully 
we'll give a full report next issue.  What we can't figure out is what the 
hell it's doing up there and who the hell uses it.  It says on the outside 
that it is property of the United States Government, more specifically the 
U.S.  Department of Agriculture.  It also offers a whooping $25-$50 reward 
for information leading to a conviction of anyone who breaks inside it. 
Anyone have any clue what it's use is?  If you do, please write us.  
 
Boom issue 10 - Part 9 - BOOM Reads The News  
 
Headline: EPA seizes radioactive material from teen  
Date: July 1, 1995  
 
   DETROIT - Chemical charts rather than posters of rock stars or sports 
heroes adorned the walls of the teen's hideaway.  Officials say the 
18-year-old scientist was gathering radioactive materials in a back yard 
shed used as his makeshift laboratory.  
   This week, workers from the U.S.  Environmental Protection Agency wearing 
protective gear came to remove the shed in a quiet residential area in Union 
Lake, 27 miles from Detroit.  
   "He was trying to isolate all the elements on the periodic table," said 
Jack Barnette, an EPA radiation expert.  
   The teen, who the EPA refused to name, found slightly radioactive 
materials from common household items that were burned and crushed until 
concentrated.  
   He also had some radium.  
   "It's not clear where he got that from," Barnette said.  
 
This kid rules.  If anyone knows him, please ask him if he would like to 
write for Boom.  Chemical geniuses are cool.  
 
Headline: Engler unveils plan For Michigan information network  
Date: July 1, 1995  
 
   LANSING - Get ready to cruise the Web, Michigan!  
   Gov.  John Engler unveiled his plan Friday to create the Michigan 
Information Network and said his goal is to lure everyone in the state onto 
the Internet.  
   "This plan - when fully implemented - will help the state of Michigan and 
our schools travel and explore the information superhighways of the 21st 
Century," the governor said.  
   Engler acknowledged that he has not delved into the Internet, but plans 
to start now that his office has a World Wide Web page.  That also was 
unveiled Friday.  
   "We will get him cruising the Web very quickly," said a smiling Rick 
Inatome, the chairman of the Inacom Corp.  Inatome will serve as the 
chairman of the MIN advisory board.  
   Engler said the information network will link each public school, 
community college, state university, independent nonprofit college, and 
library.  And that network will grow to include information from state 
agencies and departments.  
   Some of that is available now, but much more will be added this fall as 
network links are made to the state's new integrated computer system, said 
John Kost, the state's chief information author and main creator of the MIN 
plan.  
   Engler first called for the creation of the MIN in his 1993 State of the 
State address.  The Legislature, as part of the Proposal A package in 1993, 
required the Department of Management and Budget to prepare a MIN plan by 
Friday.  
   The governor said it is designed to be a world-class, interactive video 
and data access and exchange system.  He said it is a must for Michigan's 
students, businesses, and citizens.  
   "Technology is changing so fast, we can barely keep up with what's on the 
information superhighway," he said.  "But while the information age is 
speeding toward us, many of Michigan's schools, libraries, hospitals, and 
businesses don't appear to see it coming.  
   "And that - ultimately - will make Michigan less competitive.  Make no 
mistake, telecommunications technology has the power to bring us information 
and resources from around the world instantaneously and cost effectively."  
   The governor also signed an executive order to create the Office of the 
Michigan Information Network.  That will consolidate different offices and 
functions in state government and carry out the recommendations of the MIN 
plan.  
   Inatome said 40 percent of Michigan homes already had a home computer and 
said the world's growing computer network had a staggering potential.  
   "We're talking about a complete re-invention, not just of the way we 
learn, but the way our economy moves, the way our politics relate, the way 
we heal people," he said.  
   To get to Michigan's home page on the World Wide Web use this: 
http://www.migov.state.mi.us.  
 
Recently I read an editorial about this kind of shit.  People who don't use, 
or even know how to use, the Internet wanting all these people who know even 
less to get Internet access.  I'm sorry, the internet was not mentioned in 
the Bill of Rights.  Everyone does NOT need to have it, in fact, everyone 
should not have it!  I personally liked the system we had back in the late 
80s, or even two years ago, where the Internet was shrouded in mystery; if 
you could get on, you could do anything you wanted to.  The ftps were never 
crowded, telnet rarely refused your connections, and the chat was meaningful 
and interesting.  Even look at America On-line.  This winter, if you wanted 
to trade warez you went to private room "warez." The room was never full and 
only hit 20 users on good days.  Most people at least recognized everyone 
else's handles, and it wasn't too uncommon to develop friendships.  Now, 
"warez" is almost always full and on bust days one will usually have to 
settle for "warez 5." That's over 100 damned people!  Modems should require 
some kind of licensing, like HAM radios.  
 
Boom issue 10 - Part 10 - BOOM Talks To Watson  
 
Ya know what bugs me, well lots of stuff, but you know what bugs me to the 
point that I'm going to write about it?  Teachers!  [Yes teachers in 
general, but more so teachers that have never done anything wrong in their 
life and follow the school hand book like the bible.] Well I guess they 
can't follow it because it doesn't really move except for the earths orbit 
but I guess they are (or should) be moving along with it in that case.  I 
had a run in with one such teacher the other day during my joyful day at 
summer school.  His name is Mr. Gofucksomeone...  (Well that's his loving 
student donated nick name) his real name being Mr. Gullekson or something 
close to that.  After seeing that I had slept through half of class and 
talked through a third of the remaining he called me out in the hall.  The 
conversation that went on is that of the following [Almost quoting, any 
deviation is do to my failing memory] 
 
MR. G "Chris, are you high on anything today?"  
WATSON (aka Chris) "..................no?" at which point I was shocked and 
 appalled to think he could even mention something like that... me Watson! 
 stoned!?  G's what nerve!    
MR. G "Chris how long have we been in here now"  
WATSON "You mean like .........today?"  
MR. G "No all together since the beginning of summer school"  
WATSON ".....Oh.......uh....  I dunno...... what's today?"  
MR. G "Today is Wednesday"  
WATSON "...oh.......uh... what day did school start?"  
MR. G "Chris you rely on to many people to help you, why don't you think 
 for yourself"  
 
By this time I was wanting to say fuck you buddy and be done with it but I 
decided to continue appearing to be fucked in the head and replied with  
 
WATSON "Uhh...  I think it's Monday .............right?"  
MR. G "[NOD]"  
WATSON "Ok... so that's..............  uuh.........  2.. no 3 days?!?!"  
MR. G "[Odd look]  
WATSON "And we are here how many hours a day?"  
MR. G "How many hours do YOU think?"   
 
Wanting to reply with "Too many", I said  
 
WATSON "Uhh I dunno what time do we get here?"  
MR. G "8:00"  
WATSON "What time do we go home?"  
MR. G "11:00"  
WATSON "Oh ok...... so that's like................................. 
 .............[Very long pause wait for Mr. G to almost interrupt and then 
 say]...  I dunno whatever 3 x 3 is..."  
MR G.  "..  [I interrupt]"  
WATSON "6! no uh..  9!"  
MR. G "Chris I think we should take a trip down to the office."  
WATSON "Uhh...  I don't think WE need to..."  
 
[WATSON goes back to class and is remarkably left alone for the rest of the 
day Well the point of this story is that Mr. G and any teacher is a prick, 
Pot is good, talking like a stoned moron is always a good thing, and most 
importantly I would make a lot more sence if I would stay on my 
medication...  [Sorry this article is lacking Watsonism I will try to be 
more fucked for the next article....  ttyl...  :) 
 
Boom issue 10 - Part 11 - BOOM Gets Mail  
 
Dear guys at Boom:  
  Quick, does anybody have sixty bucks?  I desperately want to become a 
super hacker like you guys at Boom (right now I'm just a normal hacker). 
But, to become a super hacker, I need to get listed in the phonebook.  This 
will allow me to use the internet, but the bastards at Ameritech act like 
they don't know what I'm talking about.  They will, however, set me up "real 
good" for 60 bucks.  I also need $4,000 for mouse... right now I've only got 
5 megz, I was told by my hacker friendz that I need at least 8 meggerz of 
mousie support to slip into the ppp slot at my library.  The librarian at 
our library denied this and said that we don't have ppp slots here, but I 
think this is just a conspiracy between the library and Ameritech to keep me 
from fulfilling my potential and taking over the world.  Furthermore, I 
believe Japan is behind it two, because they know I drive a Ford.  I also 
hacked my local 911 system.  Here is how you do it.  Get into Windows(TM) 
terminal, then type the following just like it is shown: ATDT911 That's all 
their is to it!  You just hacked 911!  Am I a good enough super hacker to 
join Boom? 
 
                  -Your friend, Garry in NY 
 
 
Dear Garry in NY, We thank you for your interest in the mag and your 
enthusiasm about hacking.  We wish that everyone had your enthusiasm (of 
course, it would be nice if they had brains too, which you seem to lack). 
However, at this time we are not accepting applications from losers such as, 
well, yourself.  That 911 trick is probably pretty cool, but we haven't had 
time to test it yet.  We'll put it on our list of things to do right under 
blue boxing and sniffing our neighbor's dogs ass.  Again, thanks for the 
letter.  We hope to hear from you soon (of course, whether or not our 
readers do is undetermined.)

Boom issue 10 - Part 13 - BOOM Conclusion  
 
  Well, he hope you enjoyed Boom 10, the issue that took 14 months to write 
(well, actually we only spent 1/2 of a month writing it, but 14 months 
sounds cooler.) Look for Boom 11 soon... it should have some more 
explosives, an updated look at Watson and Crimson Jihad's court battle, and 
whatever else we feel like putting in.  If you have anything at all 
interesting to say, please write to us at NEWS@MATCH.ORG.  We would love 
to have a letters column in issue 11, but that will require letters (gee, 
it's funny how that works).  We hope you agree with us that Boom 10 was the 
biggest and best issue yet...  Until next issue 11, take care, don't fry 
your brain too much, and stay away from any and all pork products.
