Re: our troubled childhood
My Dad worked in construction, and always was bringing some sort of materials home with him.<br /><br />Well, once, he brought home these stainless steel pipes about 8" long, and threaded on each end, with these caps on them.<br /><br />My brother, and myself, along with a few freinds, started thinkin', what if we fill these pipes with the triple X black powder my Dad always kept around for his muzzleloading shotgun, which he never used, so we figured he wouldn't miss the powder, and began building these pipe bombs.<br /><br />Well, after finding enough firecracker fuses, and tieing them together, to give us enough time to throw them, we assembled 10, so we finally went to the marshes to see what would happen.<br /><br />My brother lit the first one and threw it, and we all ran like heck, when suddenly...BOOOOOM !!<br /><br />Next thing we knew, we were being covered with marsh debris, so we all got up, being we were blown off our feet, to survey the damage.<br /><br />What was left was a 40' diameter crater!<br /><br />Next thing we hear, is the police sirens, getting closer, so we all ran, but not away, we ran directly to the cops!<br /><br />When they arrived, they immediatly asked us what happened, and then we began...<br /><br />"Man, you should have been here! Man, the marsh just blew up, don't know why, but man, you should have been there. There was stuff flying around, and the bang, man, you should have been here!"<br /><br />Anyway, the cop's never suspected us, and we never heard anymore about it!<br /><br />Upon returning home, we quickly disassembled them remaining pipes, and never tryed a stunt like that again.<br /><br />To this day, that crater remains in the marshes!
