You know, I've always thought of doing this one prank, but it seems very difficult to pull off.
The idea is that I line the bible with certain chemicals. I would make sure the bible is in a place where a lot of people would be watching me and when I'm finally told to get the bible, they see me reach for it and when my hands come into contact with the book, it lights on fire.
I have no idea how to accomplish this, but it's so epic that if I had a chance to accomplish this I couldn't pass it up. I'm also certain that some method using a book box or other hidden devices would work just as well.
So...
26. Making churches think I'm the devil by having the bible light on fire when I touch it.
... perhaps if I doused the book in something flammable and I wore gloves that sparked like a lighter when I touch the book? hmm...
Also...
27. An alternative fuel for coal.

If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
