...roughly the area of a sheet of paper, the reader could be built to hold, say, a gigabyte of data. That's space enough for 1,000 standard-length books - or the text of the complete Encyclopaedia Britannica three times over, with room to spare for the Harry Potter series...

...anyway. 9) Use your own blood to write a note on a paper airplane. Launch the airplane out the window. 10) Catch an unsuspecting pigeon, attach a rolled up note to its leg and tell it to look for help (it worked for Harry Potter!). 11) Find two cups (HUDS, Solo Cups, Starbucks, anything will do), and a piece of string (braided body hair works well too) to make one of those old-school treehouse phones.
