Here is something not to try. Drill a rather large hole in the tubular section of a parking meter. Use a funnle to fill the tube about 1/4 the way up with smokeless or flash powder. Now balance a lit ciggerete in the hole so that it is counter balanced with filter side facing the powder. When the ciggerette burns down it will fall onto the large pile of powder causing an explosion.

yup.....thats a bad idea....but it gives a phunny visual.

A quarter of the way up? That's an awful lot of powder.

If you did pull that off, however, I think it would be a very worthwhile show...

Yeah 12" seems like alot of power overkill but the steel poles used in my area are of a very thick gauge. Still a bad idea.

You'd probably get shrapnel as well, so it's a very bad idea.

And because of shrapnel, you could end up like this http://members.shaw.ca/raydawg/losers/injury1.jpg .

every time you kids post shit like this it makes me laugh knowing the Feds are monitoring this site you have no problem knowing who you guys are.

Did you guys ever think that a mom and her new born might be strolling along. Maybe even at 2 am who needs to get to the airport. Im not preaching im just saying if you are going to do shit like this please dont use public or city property where innocent bystanders can get killed. That would be an extreemly large explosive. Just because you filled it a 1/4 of the way doesnt mean it wouldnt explode like a normal pipe bomb. Something that large would be enough to take out a few houses let alone kill anyone with in a few hundred feet from shrapnel. go find a a field way out in the middle of nowhere or do what My friends and I used to do and go way into a desert where there are no people or tree's and go nuts blowing shit up. We used to take propain tanks out into the desert and fire our rifles at them froma good distance. usually they would just stream fire out of them but if you hit them enough times you get a nice size explosion. please dont do this if you are under 18 or plain retarded. That was for informational purpose only.

Hold your flames there pal.
I posted this to bad ideas. It should have remained there. I would never recommend that anyone participate in "criminal activity". That includes blowing up a parking meter. I post this shit in hopes that someone will get a descent laugh. As for the "Feds", they have bigger fish to fry. By the way, most monitoring of the internet is for information gathering purposes. However it is sometimes a thin line between an open forum and conspiracy. So lets all try to keep it legal.
