Sorry if I'm being merciful, but you don't know who it is or their state of health, so rat posion could put them in the hospital; ditto for E. Coli. Ex-Lax seems right, but they might not connect it with the trangression. Excessive hot sauce is good, except they'll just figure they ran into someone with wierd taste and go on to steal the next persons food. The purgatives seem like a great idea. I'm thinking soap. Cheap, non-lethal, unpleasant, persuasive. Kills the appetite, so they don't go after the next item in the fridge. If you'd like to be biological, how about hair? I think I would take a good chunk of hair, tie the bundle in the middle, fan it out, and put it just under the surface. This way you can remove it, so the food isn't wasted, but if the uninformed bite into it, well, they'll know it. Obhack: Running both TCP/IP and AppleTalk on a 386sx so I could control it from my Mac with Timbuktu Pro and run Mosaic to browse the Web. Saved disk space on the Mac, but the VGA graphics didn't look as good as running Mosaic on the Mac... ===================================================================== Check out Farallon's WW Web server http://www.farallon.com
