a cracking read

never thought i'd be making a post about safe cracking, but i've just read a really, really interesting article on howstuffworks about... well, safe cracking.

the page on "safe manipulation" was fascinating - determining your contact points, parking the wheels, graphing the results. at the risk of alerting the metropolitan police force, i'd love to give it a go.

and here's something you'd never pick up from watching heist movies - "knowing the combination is the most common way safecrackers open safes". not exactly sexy though is it?

take five minutes out of your day, read the article, and learn something new.
