his little u-boat, or at least sneaking up on fishermen and swimmers with
it.>

I always wanted to arm my canoe.  I thought maybe a long prod on the front 
just under the water with an explosive on the tip.  Or maybe a serrated sword 
attachment so when I got going really fast I could rip right through the 
middle of another canoe.

I use to do that, but there was always some idiot in the group that thought 
it would be funny to pump it up 20 times and shoot someone.

they go down the road.>>

Gee I did both of those also.  I had the Special Forces book on improvised 
munitions.  Molotov cocktails filled with Napalm were cool, as well as 
fertilizer bombs and soap bubbles filled with acetylene.  For the fun on the 
outside of cars we used to attach a rope to the front bumper, then stand on 
top of the car holding the reigns like a Roman chariot.  You could get up to 
highway speeds and still hang on.
