They're fun, it took me a heckuva lot of practice to get my technique down.

Throwing spikes or stars?
I'd rather a knife. More weight.

Yeah, same here, but I did find a nice spike once, called the Torpedo, about 2lbs.

Depends on the strength of the thrower I assume, I'd say 15-20 yards on average.

More than I thought. Though really, how effective are throwing knives/spikes outside of that range anyway?
Hidden wrist launcher crossbow?

Nice idea, but the bow would be a pain to conceal.
I once saw a 'dart catapult' that consisted of two pulleys on each end of a V shaped arm, that some how propelled a projectile. That would be better IMO.

That seems like it would take to long to set up, though. But I'm probably misunderstanding your explanation...
Actually, hiding a short crossbow wouldn't be that hard, I don't think. Except for the bow part. You could even make it from carbon fiber plastic, so metal detectors wouldn't pick it up.
Hmm...Folding bow?

Ah yes.
Speaking of which, in Dynasty Warriors 6 on the PS2, one character uses a folding repeating bow/short sword mounted on her arm.

Why just a little? I haven't read much of his stuff (or any of it) but "A Christmas Carol" is one of my favorite holiday tales.

Same, so I can't make a fair judgment.
