Exotic assassination methods

Number24

The spy genre and James Bond sometimes features exotic assasination methods. The "Urine Bomb" in TWINE is an example.
We don't want to encourage any illegal ectivities here ,but this is the topic of this ...... topic.

I have one: Grind glass into dust. Mix it into the beverage or food of the intended victim. If the size and shape of the glass particles is just right, internal bleeding from the throat to the anus. A very unpleasant death, and there is no way to treat it.

Any other morbid (but bondian :007) ideas?

THAT was done to British soldiers in N Ireland,by those simpathtic to the IRA,not very nice.Nuff said.

The glass growned up in a drink was also used in vietnam against the americans,It's pretty old.The vietnamiese also packed the frames of bikes with explosives.This I'm not 100% sure of but I was told along time ago that the white of an egg injected into the blood stream is an effective poison,Don't know how much etc,Never tried it myself. But injecting an air bubble in to a vein would only cause some brusing not death,as shown in the remake of the Omen.as the pumping of the heart would break it up.

Erm... it's very rare I'd suggest a thread be closed but this one, shall we say, leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

If we have to keep this open, can't we make it so OTT that it's all a bit less enactable?

Damm straight,bad taste indeed.

Bad taste? Like I wrote in the first post: the spy genre and Bond is full of them. If this thread is in bad taste, what are those assassination metods when featured in those movies and novels?
Strange and exotic assassination techniques also exists inn the real inteligence world. A defector was killed by poison-tipped umbrella in London. Alexander Litvinenko was murdered by sushi laced with plutonium.
Bizzare deaths is a part of the whole package, let's be honest about that!
That said, I didn't know the "pulverized glass" method had ever been used. I was making clay figures and putting on crushed glass mixed with water on the surface. When exposed to intense heat it leaves a nice glass coating on the pottery figures.
Some kids asked me what would happen it they drank the glass/water soup. I told them I wasn't shure, but don't do it!
The idea developed from that.

Ah well nothing personal Number24 and I think this is a good thead. It's just your first suggestion doesn't seem Bondian to me at all, more like something out of a nasty modern horror flick. And it's very enactable, unlike mine where:

An agent's mobile phone is swapped for another identical model - with a tiny bomb in it. It rings, he answers and places it to his head. All he gets to hear is his enemy saying "You're dead!" and it is detonated ; tiny explosion is enough to blow his brains out.

Now that has a nice flamboyant ring about it whereas your suggestion sounds more like 'sick ways to do harm to someone' that weirdos trawl for on the internet.

How about a hands-free that blows up his head! (Slightly sadistic but so am I :v)

If this topic is in bad taste, what about some of the bizzare murders in the cinematic and literary Bond? Is the urin bomb in TWINE and the compressed air pellet in LALD in bad taste too?
Let's face it: bizzare assassination methods has been a staple in the Bond universe and the overall fictional spy genre from the start. Maybe this is because you find exotic assassination methods in the real world of espionage too?
A defector was killed in London by an umbrella with a poisoned tip. Alexander Litvinenko was killed by sushi laced with plutonium.
Let's face it: strange murders are a part of the package!

I didn't know the glass powder method had ever been used. I came upon the idea while putting a glass coating on some pottery.
Would in ot have posted it if I knew people had died that way? Most likely. But like Napoleon Plural wrote, this should be kept a bit OTT to avoid this becoming a source of ideas in the extremely unlikely event that someone actually uses these bizzare ideas.
