Cracking almonds without a nutcracker?
I got a bunch of (dried) almonds in their shell today. I wasn't aware of how hard their shells were and I have no nutcracker. Is there any way to open them without one?

To summarize the comments:
Use common household tools (such as pliers) as improvised nutcrackers
Try using the bottle gripper/opener on kitchen shears as an improvised nutcracker
Use impact tools, such as a hammer, a heavy pan, or even cleaned rocks as nut smashers, but you may not get whole nutmeats with this method
Bite the bullet and buy or borrow a nutcracker
(This is part of my little quest to get answers to some of the non-answered questions....)
