When I was in college I had a couple roomates that used to live in farms in Northern California and lived in the same town. They told me of a story of rigging a 55 gallon drum with a spark plug, a length of wire and a car battery and running the hoses from an oxy-acetylene tanks to the drum.

Ka-boom!

Well, maybe that guy has learned, that when dousing a huge pile of brush with gasoline.. don't spread it all over the damn place. He had gas going everywhere.

And I have never made anything of an explosive nature.

... that wasn't hella fun. Grade 9, almost blowing my figures off did teach me the value of long wicks or electric igniter's.... Taped a HB pencil core (graphite) to a wick then ran power to both ends of the graphite. Ran wire a fair distance and plugged in power pack. Watch the thing glow then kaboom.

As I got older it's amazing how much safer I became. Lame ass I know.

Of course all the above was in my dreams..... I would NEVER have done anything like that.

Oh, check this one out. Totally James Bond.

Total chick magnet.

I'm thinking it won't be long until that guy wins a Darwin Award.

Hope Pumbaa doesn't see this. He's likely to find the guy and kick his a$$!
