OMG---I just about blew myself up a second ago

An old christmas light, black powder and a 9 volt battery, makes quite a little blasting cap.

Now I will pry my cat off the ceiling and clean up before anyone gets home. I'm lucky to still have fingers....

ya i remember my older

ya i remember my older brother doing something along those lines; a small bomb (30-06 shell) packed with black powder, a solar igniter for model rocket engines and a flashlight. He pushes button on flashlight and nothing happens, runs up to said object, and yells wire came loose, next comes a boom. Luckily he was uninjured but his vision and hearing did not work very well for a few days.

Ya think!

Did you know if you mix equal parts gasoline and orange juice concentrate you'll make napalm.

That is the exact line from the movie.

Sorry sweetie...

but you sound underage, and living with mom, and dad. Grow some big ones, and do something really big okay, but don't harm yourself in the process. Yes, this is an ex-military person speaking to ya. If you want to do something destructive don't make yourself the target, make sure you aim that at someone who is anti-constitution, by the way that would be anyone in Congress, or the Senate with the exception of maybe a few like Ron Paul.

Tessie, I hate to admit, I'm a grown man

There was a little wiring mix-up. I have learned what I need to do. Wait till this 4th of July!!

I was just messing with you Mike...

Glad you are okay man....sounds like you are having too much though by yourself.

how about filling some balloons with acetylene and oxygen,

a cutting torch is good for this, and getting a wick to it. Be very careful though, it can blow up a car.

I've heard combining Toilet

I've heard combining Toilet Works cleaner and alumimum foil makes for a good explosion too.

My co-worker thought someone shot a gun in their backyard. When she ran to the window, her son was standing on the back deck, holding one ear and hollering, "I'm okay, mom!".

She later talked to her husband (he's a pilot) and he said, "Well, there were two others, but they weren't working, so I told him to throw them in the trash". I told her I'd watch the news for the headline: Garage Truck Explodes, VT Boy Arrested. :)

get a bow and arrow

and take the arrow and cut the tip off. Then fill the hollow tube with smokeless powder. Glue a primer cap into the end and glue a BB in the center of the primer cap. Have fun.

That's really cool!

I'm looking for a youtube of somebody doing that one!!
Found it!

What the 4377 were you trying to do?!?

Reminds me of a story from my grade school days. This was back in the '70's, which will give you some idea of my age... Anyhow, I had a friend who was a real rabble rouser, and my stepdad was a duck hunter who repacked his own shells. One day my friend brings over his beebee gun and we start doing target practice at empty shells with fresh igniters in them (I think that's what they're called), trying to hit the igniter dead center to make it explode.

Well we were having a good time blowing up a few of them, and then he must have hit one so perfectly that it rebounded right back at his hand and wedged itself under the thin skin on the top side of his hand. We both looked at it for a moment, and then he just squirted it out like a watermelon seed! We had a good laugh and then took off to go jump stuff on our BMX bikes.

Man, those were the days... Good thing our mothers didn't know what we were up to!

They're called caps or blasting caps

And that's actually what I was attempting to make for launching fireworks in a coordinated manner electronically. I expect this 4th of July to be especially noteworthy.

Those little christmas lights turn out to be perfect, maybe just a grain or two less powder though.

Ok, now this is funny

My GF just came home 10 minutes ago. She immediately says, "What is that smell? Did something catch on fire? Why is the cat hiding in the dryer?, Miiiike!!!"

She's out buying a fan and air fresheners now.

Wait till I start my smokebombs later. oooo-weee I'm in trouble.

"Now I will pry my cat off the ceiling and...."

Spidercat, spidercat...does whatever a spidercat does....

Hahaha! I actually SAW that movie! I never watch the Simpsons...

but my mom thought it would be fun to watch -- which it WAS -- but I don't know why she rented it! LOL

I'm a girk! Chatta me kort please!

You sound like my son!

I had a cannon in the yard,
decoration only,and my grown son decided to see if he could make it work.He drilled a small hole in the iron for a fuse,then
stuffed the cannon full of potatoes and gun powder and
packed it tight.Next thing I knew,
there was a huge explosion and shrapnel all over the yard.I was finding cannon pieces in the bushes for weeks.My son was very lucky that a piece didn't kill him!!

Atta boy!!!

My mom still cringes when she's reminded of my hot dog cooker I made when I was 8 or 9. An old lamp cord with the wires wrapped around two nails---just poke the nails in the dog on the ends, plug it in for oh 10 seconds--hot dog's ready.

No Way!!

I made one of those too!! Worked like a champ, and then I got the idea of wrapping tinfoil around it to stop the hotdog juice from running down into the cables...

ZZZZZT... blew a fuse BIG TIME!!!

Wow, hadn't thought of that in years!

Too funny, Mike!

Ever get north of DC? 'Cause I'd like to buy you a beer, coffee or whatever you like sometime.

I'd go to maybe Gaithersburg (1 1/2 hours), but for me driving much further south is too nerve-wracking. Hell, I can barely take route 30 in York!
