LEVEL 75 PALADIN Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Ninja rocks are small bits of the ceramic from spark plugs, used by crackheads and jerkoffs to break any of the tempered glass on a car (anything except the windshield). Usually the door glass. All your average crackhead needs to do to make some ninja rocks is to find a spark plug and smash the ceramic insulator part into about 1/2 to 1/4 inch bits. Then they just need to throw them at a car door glass and steal the 2 dollars in quarters and red Phillies hat from off of my seat while I’m eating Pho in the Vietnamese place. I hate crackheads. What makes the whole thing so bizarre is that the ninja rocks don’t feel like they could break anything, they’re extremely light. A rock of similar size off the ground wouldn’t do it, but ninja rocks do. Why? It has to do with hardness. Glass is actually “harder” than iron on the Mohs scale, and spark plug ceramic (technically called “aluminium oxide ceramic”) is much harder than glass. Aluminium oxide ceramic actually rates a 9 on the Mohs scale; diamonds are 10, glass is 6.5, and iron is 4.5. That’s the key to the whole thing, and why it’s surprisingly hard to break a window with a hammer and surprisingly easy to break it with a small, light little shard of innocent white spark plug ceramic. And so, in conclusion, ninja rocks are interesting, and the next time you see a freaky little crackhead running around Philadelphia with a red Phillies hat and a bunch of broken little ceramic shards, run him over once for me.

Realism Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 That's cool. I hate crackheads too, unless they're the harmless type who will give you crazy hookups on stolen shit. That is not your red Phillies hat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEVEL 75 PALADIN Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 I've always wanted to pick up lockpicking but never got around to it. Seems like a pretty interesting/lucrative hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouMad.GIF Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 It's really not as hard as people think As long as you have enough brains to understand the concept of a tumbler system and a steady hand you are good to go I would think anyone with decent can controll could pick it up fine, you just apply tension and manually push the pins up into place. It takes a couple hours of practice... But really it's easier and faster to just prybar a lock open... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if there is no deadbolt just take a big pair of channel lock pliers, grab the doorknob with them and twist hard, strip it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
