Art of paper folding. In order to obtain a nice and effectiveness result, put the floppy in the disk drive after folding it several times in different directions. With a little luck, you should be able to get it jammed. Now, ask yourself. How can your disk get damaged if you cant even get it out of the drive?

SMOKE
Use cigarettes or anything that could be burnt. When you are smoking, blow directly to your disk. In that way, you will be able to destroy it soon, and if you are lucky, damage the drive as well.

PIRANHAS

MAGNETS
They are wonderful. You can find them in the telephone, in some paper weights, and stuck on the frige door. If you cant find any, you can leave the floppies on the printer or on your display for a while, making sure that they are on.

MAIL
Put a disk in an envelope and dont write any warning on it; then mail it to someone, and thats all.

MAGIC TOUCH
Touch your floppy. As much as you can. If you have marmelade or butter in your fingers, better. Your floppy will acknowledge it.

DONT USE ANY ENVELOPE

Of course, if you dont have any security copy, you wont have to worry about how to destroy them once you have lost the original.
