blink I guess I knew less about dynamite than I thought, thinking
that fire or shock could detonate it.

Shock "can"...and the higher the nitro percentage...the more likely

This of course does not include frozen then thawed dynamite...which
can have a very hairy trigger...very dangerous stuff.

Old nitro...can have a significant amount of nitroglycerin leaking out
of the individual sticks and into the sawdust in the box. I dont know
what they use these days for packaging if anything..but when I worked
for the Atlas Powder company dealer...nearly all true dynamite still
came in wooden boxes filled with sawdust. Prills, nitramons etc
etc...all came in cardboard.

I wish I had your experience there. Sounds like fun.

Me like things go boom.

HE is fun, no matter if you use store bought or make your own.

Prima cord..is another fun toy.

Really?

"Hurt" aint the word.

For Liberals, the truth is like salt to a slug.
Sunlight to a vampire.
Raid® to a cockroach.
Sheriff Brody to a shark
Bush to a Liberal

The truth doesn't just hurt. It's painful, like a red hot poker shoved
up their ass. Like sliding down a hundred foot razor blade using their
dick as a brake.

They HATE the truth."
