[edit] Hollywood Myth

Whats about the reocurring hollywood-cliche about red and green wires to be pulled. Where does it come from? -- Neatlittleeraser 20:41, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

probably some old movie.--Crucible Guardian 03:58, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Other Uses

Should the article specify that logic bombs are only refered to as "time bombs" when they are set to occur at a specific time? Logic bombs are more general and occur when any condition is met.

[edit] cookbook

I haven't read the book, but mentionning The Anarchist Cookbook seems right. --Julien 04:03, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestion

The article states that a TPU is simple enough for a child to make. Found a very similiar paragraph in [A SECRET HISTORY OF THE IRA] by Ed Moloney (the IRA were the main users of such TPUs). "The device, known as a timing power unit (TPU), was simple to operate and safe enough for a child to use...." A bit trivial I know, but I'd like to change it...

[edit] how to make a time bomb

When I was reading this article, I noticed that it was oddly specific in some aspects. It gave tips on how to make a better time bomb. Am I the only one who thinks this is an article on how to make a time bomb? Bubbleboys 13:39, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree, and added the {{inappropriate tone}} tag because of it. All that it's lacking, it seems, are the specifics like amounts of materials/chemicals and such. It's basically a very general how-to. Wyatt Riot 00:43, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
