I have you topped. I made a home made bomb. I used color sparklers and mashed them up in a mortar and pessel. I took 5 5X8 file cards and rolled them up into a tube. I closed one end off with tin foil and hot melt glue. I filled the tube up with the powder and sealed the other end the same way. I then wrapped the cards with a half a roll of masking tape and then finished it off with black electrical tape. I drilled a hole in the middle and placed water proof fuse in it and placed glue around the fuse. I left about 20 inches of fuse. I was in my freshman year at college in a dorm. A friend of mine and myself placed the bomb in a tree stump, lit the fuse and then ran to our rooms. The bomb went off ( a very low rumble) much louder than an M-80 and started a fire in the tree stump. There were dead leaves in it that must have started on fire. The fire spread and the fire and police departments were called. We were listening to them on our police radio. They found the rest of what was left of the bomb. We were really scared because we could have been kicked out of college. We called the police from a payphone and said it was just a prank. They were on the case for at least 6 months. No one ever found out who did it.

Yep, that tops mine but I accept the challenge. My next plan is to again stuff a used Co2 tube with match heads soaked in lighter fluid but this time add the scrapings from the radium on old watches. Make my fuse with several firecracker fuses tied together. Light it and stand back and watch the miniature mushroom cloud created by the explosion. Obviously, no one will be able to get near the site for years.
You bring back memories. When I was in Junior High I would have people come over to play with our ping pong, billiards table, darts, and Gottlieb Happy Clown pinball machine. I believe the year was 1970. I decided to set the pinball machine up for money. I made 60.00 which was a lot of money in those days. I figured if they wanted to play and not have much to do with me, I might as well make some money.
Now you have me curious about Gottlieb Happy Clown pinball machine. I used to get frustrated as hell playing pinball machines. Not only would the ball go into the bottom hole very quickly but sometimes the machine would even mock me. Now I occasionally play pinball on my iPad and I think that my New iPad even lets you use body english to effect the bounce of the ball .
I don't know the secret. I just had a knack for pinball. You have to have a light and quick touch on the flippers. In those days you really could shake the machine quite a bit before a tilt. I think the key was we owned a machine and I could play everyday. I still have the same machine today, but it needs repair.
