I used to do the same with the heads shaved of matches. I once found some used .22 shell casings, filled these with match shavings and crimped over the top. Dropping a brick on them made a very big bang, and I once managed to shoot myself in the leg with the casing. A large bruise, but no penetration.

Ah - you missed the real fun:
Empty CO2 cartridges ->
Drill Out Neck ->
fill with Calcium Hypochlorite/Sulfur mixture and short piece of fuse. ->
Slide down pipe with back capped with reducing union so fuse stick out ->
Light fuse -> Almost silently, the little steel rocket shot forward.
That thing could split a brick in half and keep going. Once in a while, if reused a few times, they blew up. Lucky the pipe kept the pieces from flying.

I've long determined that no matter how weird you think something is, someone, somewhere, genuinely enjoys it. And there's probably a serious web page devoted to it.)

During my halcyon college year, we started dropping plastic bottles that we put some chunks of dry ice in, then a few ounces of hot water, then dropped them down air shafts and open (don't ask) elevator shafts. The noises were very pleasing, and the only evidence was a shattered plastic bottle and some water.
Nitrogen Tri-iodide also made loud noises, after drying from the solvent it becomes a contact explosive.

I hadfun with Coppere or silver aside. lso madfe water balloons with a touch of butyric acid. That's a smell to gert your opponent's attention.
Unfortunately or maybe fortunately, I later grew up.

They could easily turn that into quite a spectacular combat sport, if you ask me!

If you have the day off of work, why are you on the CP Lounge? I thought everyone used the CP Lounge to get away from work, but if you have no work, why not live life?

Because after getting away from work on the CP lounge often enough, it becomes one's life even when not at work.

Perhaps we don't all have the day off.
I'm working today, but will be MIA next Monday. I'll be Day 4 of a gaming binge[^] that'll be starting with going home early this Friday. Unfortunately there haven't been any Markov Chain patch notes[^] this time around.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

If computer games were about food, would we have The Elder Rolls V: Fry Rim? Winecraft? Supper Mario?

Nope. We'd have The Bacon Rolls, Baconcraft, Bacon Mario.
... such stuff as dreams are made on

How about Grilled Wars? World of WarKraft? Frying Pandemic?

Saw these chaps last night at the Winterthur Musikfestwochen, 'pon the occasion of my birthday. Highly recommended. Folk-punk, and really well done. Great stage presence as well.
It's been ages since I checked in. Glad to see that some things never change, in a world gone mad etc etc....

Three Sql administrators walk into a noSql bar.
Half an hour later they leave because they couldn't find a table.

Why didn't they just query the bartender?
