Well tonight, I went to the book store just to look, I was looking at Paranormal books when I say L Ron Hubbard's "Dianetics". Well it was on sell for $6.00, so I brought it. No I'm not going to convert to Scientology, however I will be destorying the book and capturing it on film. So, the question is, what is the best way to destory this book? I've thought of using fireworks, my .22 semi automatic rifle, 12 gauge shotgun, and good ol' fire. What do yall think? What is the best way to destory this bad bad bad book?

Post the funniest bits here first please :p

Take it back to the shop and discreetly slip it into the comedy section.

If you had the resources, I'd say stacking copies of it around a volcano and blowing them up with hydrogen bombs would be the best idea, but since you're not the US Government I'd have to say the best would be the 12 gauge.

Too late! You already bought it, so they already got your money. The best way to destroy it is to ignore it. Since you bought it, you may as well keep it for your porn collection (obscenity is in the eye of the beholder!)

What a waste of $6.00. Woodchipper, fireworks. Water maybe to soften it up first?

I say thermonuclear blast. Or else burn it on a pyre along with an effigy of Hubbard, all on a giant altar to Xenu.

I HAVE IT! TIEVAHI! Rent a woodchipper, then put the book AND fireworks in it and set off the fireworks while you start up the woodchipper. And pee on an electric fence. It's loads of fun.

Careful now. You don't want to end up on the list of SPs and get 'fair gamed.'

If you are lucky they call in a bogus complaint to the police about you. Then you get arrested. After the charges are dismissed they have police officers who are members of the church get your personal info (which the police dept. now has from the arrest) and they'll use it to ruin your credit and other shit. And if you are very lucky they'll stop at that.

Shred it and put the shreds in a bowl of chili. Offer that bowl to Tom Cruise. Watch him eat it.

Yea well, there's no church where I live. The closes church is in Charlotte. Beside I know all of the local police personals here so I don't see that happening really. Also I don't have any credit ratings to speak of lol.

Burn it with Fire!!

But first you must weigh it against a duck. If it's heavier then the duck you must do something else with it.

Toilet paper. It's what the book deserves.

Rip out the pages and make a Scientologist choke on them.

Then blow it all up.

That's a cheap shot. You know very well that those stories were discredited.

Hence the smilie. Besides, we're allowed cheap shots, aren't we? Without cheap shots, we'd have to actually have sensible discussions, and God only knows where that might lead us.

Hand the book to good ol' Nasrallah and tell him that Hubbard disagrees with him.

Look up the Anarchist Cookbook for some ideas. I bet you could find some neat-o ways to destroy the book.

EDIT: Or not, wiki says most of the 'recepies' have pretty bad errors in them, and you could serious hurt yourself.

I would throw feces at the book.

Please don't destroy books. Even bad ones. It's not appropriate.

Indeed.

I say, let the books destroy themselves.

*After we mutate the books into super fighting monsters, and let Dianetics, the Koran, the Bible, and the Tao te Ching fight it out in a Battle Royale to decide who is the greatest religion.

*whispers* Rumour has it that the anarchist cookbook was actually compiled by the CIA to geet young radicals to accidentally blow themselves up!
