LOL that reminds me of a stunt I pulled.

Got a length of pipe (plastic) and started to pack matchheads into it. I heard you could make a good *BANG* if you did it right. well I kept on packing um in. Some point I thought "this won't work" So I got 4 shotgun shells and cut them open with a hack saw, and dumped the contents(shot and all) in with the matches(I should point out at this time, I had 4 boxes of matches packed in there), and tamped it all in there good and tight. Then I glued on the cap...and drilled a hole for the fuse (yes AFTER I had it loaded up).

So I stick this thing in the snow bank along the driveway, way deep in there, a good foot and a half in at a angle, and I stuff snow in all around it and pack it in tight with a shovel. Now, I had rigged the fuse to be a model rocket igniter with some phone wire to a old car battery.

So I yell out as the dumb kid I am "Fire in the hole" like in the movies, touch the wire to the battery...I don't remember **** after that. I woke up with a pounding headache, a dad pissed off at me, a mom screaming to take me to the hospital, and a chunk of the snow, and the wood pile hidden under it, blown all over the driveway...and the fence to the neighbors yard with a 5' area missing from it.

Apparently I dun blowed it up good, my dad figures I had 2, perhaps 3 sticks of dynamite worth packed into that pipe. Damn lucky I didn't use metal, as a chunk of plastic or wood had hit me on the forehead hard enough to make me get 2 stitches.
