This is the bonus show for Episode 130! (Paperclips)
Alex Schmidt and Katie Goldin explore the obviously incredibly fascinating topic of picking door locks with paperclips, strange U.S. state laws around that, and then a Canadian Internet phenomenon where somebody traded one paperclip for a house.
RESEARCH SOURCES:
- How to Pick a Lock With a Paper Clip (The Art Of Manliness)
- I Learned to Pick a Lock with Paperclips ("Mike Shake" on YouTube)
- Is Lock Picking Illegal? The Honest Truth (art-of-lockpicking.com) -- Alex does not 100% trust this source, but he could find a few repeating it, and couldn't find any contradicting it. Either way: do not pick locks without permission.
