In a different jungle...the concrete and steel variety we once had an esteemed guest in segretation make a shank out of his welded steel bed frame.

He tore the rubber threads out of the waistband of his boxers. Every day he would rub them against the steel frame until they became hot from friction. Then he would roll them in the sand and dirt off the concrete floor and use that to saw away at a strip of steel off his bed. He was at it for months, I'm sure. By the time he was done, he'd cut a real nicely sized "blade blank" out of the bed. He was stopped there, but if he'd been allowed to continue, I'm pretty sure the overall fit and finish and handle material would have been found to be a bit sub par by our standards...

That could be the most brilliant knife making hack I've ever heard.

"So you wanna be a knifemaker, but ain't got the tools? Lemme tell ya' a story about a determined knife maker that didn't need nuthin' but floor sweepins and his under drawers, ya' thankless whippersnapper!"

Due to a texting typo I made today, I now want to try “coco late”. I wonder if it will taste anything like covfefe.

I'm sitting here at my work computer in the prison infirmary. Across the room, three inmate workers and myself see a chain on an Oxygen cart start randomly swinging back and forth. One of the guys gets up and stops it. then the chain starts swinging again as soon as he sat down? I ain't casting no weird speculation or nuthin' here, but that sure is a head scratcher? Chalk that up to more weird things witnessed, I suppose? It's too early in my shift for weird....
