For instance, say you, hypothetically, wanted to blow up your government's legislative building. You'd obviously want to pick a dark and stormy night, say early in November, and you'd sneak into the basement with barrels of gunpowder. You'd use a long, slow-burning fuse, so it would blow up the next day when they're in session, but after lighting it you'd still run away very fast just in case your fuse speeds up on you. The obvious thing you'd need to do is to NOT GET CAUGHT LIKE THE LAST FOOL WHO TRIED IT. However, if you do get caught, maybe you'll end up with your name in lights and people will set off firecrackers in your honor every fall, while if you don't get caught you won't be personally famous. Tough choice:-)
