Danger....Huge Alert !!!! Warning !

That's what I am thinking.

When I was juvenile delinquent we used to get granulated chlorine from my friends house(they had a pool), dump it in a pile and pour Pine-sol over it. The thing will start smoking in a few seconds, then burst into a fire so hot it makes an imprint on your retina. Of course we did this for our own entertainment...never to try and hurt anybody.

I been trying to get ride of a stump that I can't dig up due to where its located at. Burn it out! Also don't put granulated chlorine in a galvanized bucket, It will burn in no time! Happened at work!

In the old days it was carbide and water in a glass jar. I have a friend that still has a piece of glass in his eye ball.

We used to put the carbide in a round cigarette tin which had a nail hole in the bottom. Spit on the carbide and put the lid on. Wait for half a minute and the put a match to the hole. Then look for the lid.

When we put carbide in the science teachers very large glass aquarium full of all sorts of growing organisms; that didn't go down too well. And I had six red marks across my backside to prove it.

I just remembered, my grandfather was the one that told me about it. He would put carbide in a quart jar. He would put a pin hole in the lid. and then drop it in the lake. As it sank and water got in, it would build pressure until it blew. He would gather the fish that were stunned. We adapted it to more "usefull" projects.

So just to be clear....is this carbide as in mill and lathe tooling carbide???

What the **** is wrong with kids today. Sure we pulled pranks, but never with the idea of maming people. Something is awry in our culture. There was no such thing as "school shootings" when I was a kid.

Calcium Carbide. as in "limelight" or miners lamps "fuel" mix with water and it produces acetylene gas as in what Union Carbide made.

Leaving these around to be nasty to others simply doesn't cut it. Now on the other hand, doing this for my own amusement on my own land, I like it!!:thumbsup:

So thats what it was. While driving home last wkend I saw somethig in the road that I ran over that exploded. When I looked in my mirror there was another small balloon just sitting on the road. I thought it was just a water balloon but the report was very loud. I will report this to the state police so they can be on alert. Thanks

It is the lack of disipline at home and in class wrecking generations of children thnaks to liberal standards established there.
