The dumbest thing I've purchased in the past 10 years is a stack of 50 CDs at Staples. It seemed like a good idea back when we used to burn things for friends, but my current computer doesn't even have an optical drive. So there are 40-something blank discs sitting here in a drawer.
I should send them to this guy on YouTube named AJ, who has a solution. "Ever wonder what to do with those CD's that didn't duplicate correctly?" he writes. "When I was challenged with destroying a pile of misprinted and misburned CD's, I came up with this contraption based around a $15 Harbor Freight angle grinder:"
My first thought: Skeet shooting! At 120 millimeters in diameter, a CD isn't far off of the 109.5mm diameter of a clay pigeon. Then again, the latter will fly for well over 50 yards, and something tells me the CDs won't make it that far....
