Gee. How can one compete? The best I managed was running a
gunpowder factory in history classes.

My brother used to throw aerosol cans into our 55 gallon trash burner when
we were kids....split it down the sides and flattened it....was quite the

We exploded a 55 gal drum that has some gasoline in it... maybe a
couple of gallons left. We did it on a small island in the middle of a
river in a driving rainstorm. My friend used a 10 ft fuse and ran like
hell after he lit it. The fireball was incredible at a 1/4 mile
away. There were pieces of the drum embedded in trees in all directions.
My friend was lucky he didn't die.

We used to 'launch' drums by cutting the bottoms out, filling them
with acetylene and setting em off with an electric igniter...from a
long way away!
