Pamphlet experiment #2

My my, the opportunity for a second installment of The Pamphlet Experiments came quickly. There were new Jehovah's Witness magazines in the laundry room yesterday! So this evening, I went to work.

I sneaked into the laundry room with my basket (to avoid looking suspicious, since a lot of people are out and about) and swiped the JW magazines. Once back in my apartment, I cut up Normal Bob's atheist pamphlets so that I could glue them to the cover.
Whose promises, indeed?
8:30pm April 18, 2004: The new magazines are in my possession, ready to be altered

So I set to work. I tried to put them on so they obstructed as little of the cover story titles and such as possible, but it was difficult. This is the final result.
Much better!
8:40pm April 18, 2004: The magazines have been altered and are now drying. I used a liquid glue so that it'd really soak into both the covers and the pamphlets, hopefully bonding them well. But it's so cheap, that I ended up adding some super glue a little later.

So I let them dry and just went to place it in the laundry room again.
Spreading the good news!
9:25pm April 18, 2004: The magazines are in place. The laundry room is currently in use (as you can see).

No one was in the laundry room when I went in, but people are walking around the complex tonight and, since the place was clearly in use, I hurriedly threw these on the one tiny clear spot on the table, snapped a picture, and left.

I will report back as soon as anything happens.

BTW, I have big big plans for next time. But I'll won't discuss them just yet except to say that it will be more meaningful, not as funny, and much more interesting (I think).

See the results here.

The gluing idea has so much more potential.

awesome idea
I do not have a live journal account so this is posted as an "anonymous user" anyway, I wanted to tell you I liked your idea so much, when I did laundry last night, I did it too, cut them up, and glued them to the front of the "JW magazines" and put them back... well, 24 hours later (tonight) I just checked and they are amazingly still there!!! :) keep up the experiment!

Re: awesome idea
That's awesome!

You should let people know what happens. Email the results to Bob, this could be a world-wide project! :p
