So other other night I got a cool idea for an ipod that was broken. I thought that I could take out the internals, (maybe sell them maybe not)

seal the case parts (metal and white) together with water proof silicon and get plugs for the openings, and use it as an extremely discrete flask....

I know it would be hot for football games around here where they check you at the door.

let me know what yall think and if you have a broken ipod you would sell me for cheap that works too

Well, I suppose, if you're a light drinker.

You can also fill them with a timer and plastic explosives. Or so I've heard.
Do you want forgiveness or respect?

"A new machine, already popular in London -- which delivers alcohol straight to the bloodstream by the user's inhaling of a mixture of alcohol and pressurized oxygen -- has crossed the Atlantic and is now available in lounges in New York City" BTW. So a smaller size can pack a punch I suppose. Wouldn't mind trying this out next time I go there.

Well, at least it's not an iPodquarium. It might get a little stuffy for fish in there.

You could always try and overclock one. Then make a cluster of them.

You could also use it to hold the smaller version if Kleenex Tissues.
