The things I used to make as a kid were crazy. It's amazing I am still alive and have all my moving parts intact. Not for a moment did I think about using such a thing for more than making a big noise or a lot of sparks... or maybe shooting up a rocket. I used to take C rocket engines attach a long stick and glue an M80 or a cherry bomb on the top. It would go up 2000 feet and explode. Man, you couldn't do that now I would suppose. Then there's the coffee can with a spark plug screwed into it, then a couple of drops on gasoline on the concrete, can on top, wired to a battery and boom, it would blow the can to smithereens and the spark plug would end up who know where. Of course, this was all out on a farm.

Am I still allowed to say this stuff? I really don't know.
