For a while we were making spud guns from abs pipe. They had a spark
system at one end and a potato stuffed in the other after filling the
tube with inflammable hair spray or the like. Aim and spark and off goes
the potato. And of course there was the water balloon sling shot made
from inner tubes and saplings... Good days those. Do you think the toy
safety people would let me play with them now. Of course I was younger
then. Somewhere in my 40's I believe. Ah, summer camp.

Carbide cannons and cleaner bags filled with hydrogen generated with
aluminum and drain cleaners, even the chemistry set with potassium
nitrate! Of course you know what we did with that.

Do you think they could sell woodenware made of exotic woods if the
chemicals that kept it from decaying weren't "natural?"

OMG - Ya mean those pacifiers I turned from PT 4x4's don't have natural
preservatives????

(smirk) just my odd SOH, I guess.....
