However, I have a great screen saver which is guaranteed to freak out any Nosy Parker who is wont to check out what you're doing on your computer:
At a click it starts a visual countdown from 10 (virtually full-screen font). If you start mumbling gibberish or, even better, some form of Arabic, you're guaranteed to cause an effect.
I particularly enjoy capping off the countdown with an elegant calligraphic rendition of "Allahu akbar".
Or you could go to a theatre and wait until 15 minutes after the movie starts and yell FIRE!
and no, neither sounds like even a
remotely good idea.
I thought somebody might come up with that (or a similar) objection. But, no, it's not the same thing. Nor is it like using the word "bomb" in an airline terminal.
It
is virtually the same as the Italian mathematician example ... namely, no harm, no foul. And it screws over the stupid and ignorant.
