Why not try replacing the http://www.phonelosers.org/tv/sodacup/ with some other object, like a shopping bag, or something else interesting.

How about a baby carrier with a real-looking baby in it?

So you're going to be one of the many who recreate Jackass stunts?

That's just over the line, dude. I like it.

I think the obscure payment one would go over pretty well. I tried convincing a sub place around here to accept a check I wrote on a banana, but they wouldn't take it. I mean, it had all my info written on it, but apparently they wanted a bank printed check. Fuckers.

When you pay with a check at a store, do they take any verifiable information from you or could I just print off some bogus checks, stick them in a book, and buy things with imaginary (well, slightly more so than normal) money?

Yes, the account number is run through a machine and it verifies that the account is good.  But if you had someone's real account number that had money in it, it might work.  But you'd need a fake ID with that person's name on it.  Office supply stores sell books of blank check paper where you just print your info onto it.

When a store runs your check through their register, it only checks to see if you had any previous bad checks and not if you have a balance large enough to justify the check.

This is intriguing...so essentially any dedicated person could use a check I or anyone else writes to them for identity theft purposes. I'll have to remember that one.
