2007-12-25 00:29:23.240218+01 by Dan Lyke 2 comments

Hell yeah: 11 year old builds mousetrap based booby trap to catch lunch money thieves.

Harry drew on know-how acquired from hours spent glued to the History Channel, his favourite program being a documentary about Vietcong-made traps in the Vietnam War.
