heres something that is funny ,as in funny i mean "It figures" ,most
anybody out there remembers the oklahoma city bombing and the damage
that was caused from fertilizer and diesel fuel,well here's the funny
part ,the U.S. government back in the 30's gave out a booklet to farmers
all over the country that told how to make that explosive and for free
,it was so farmers had a cheaper alternative to dynamite to blow out
stumps since they already had these materials on hand



Really? How many diesel farm tractors can you name that were common
in the US in the 30s?


It doesn't have to be tractor fuel. There were a LOT of people who
used kerosene for space heaters, lanterns, as a fire starter, utility
solvent, etc. Plain kerosene would work just as well for the ANFO
explosive. (Oh oh, hope DHS won't pay me a visit for this post!)
