    MI6 are in it for the lolz?

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...n-Cupcake.html

    British intelligence has hacked into an al-Qaeda online magazine and replaced bomb-making instructions with a recipe for cupcakes.
    But apparently they got the injection slightly wrong...
    throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception)

    Re: MI6 are in it for the lolz?

    Surely it would be much more productive to put in a recipe which will go boom halfway through making...or one which would stain subjects faces/hands in a suitably lurid colour then round 'em up

    I dunno, I think I'd prefer to have cupcakes served to me on the tube instead of flying body parts.

    Have you never made a flour bomb? (Joking apart, flour will explode under the right conditions!)

    Indeed, all you need is a few cakes a empty room (optimally but not necessarily) and you will soon be able to experience the basis of an explosion.

    Fart jokes... I have just brought myself and the whole thread to a new low
