Every year we get a few of these. Most of the time they aren't time delayed, instead the teenagers just shove the metal into the bottle, cap it, shove it in a mailbox and run. Pow! Then the news reports will will warn parents to watch out if their kids are putting together bottles, aluminum foil and some type of strong acid. Thanks guys, you just told kids how to make a bottle bomb.

almost as much fun as dry ice.

OMG, Beavis and Butthead live. I can see it now, homeless, children who didn’t get school lunch and S-— pickers hardest hit. What a chicken little the sky is falling kind of BS. If you insist on picking up others trash, at least have the good sense to use proper precautions. Just think how much was made out of the danger to those poor roadside mowers who kept hitting discarded trucker urine. Yep, just stay afraid, it makes more room for the rest of us in the real world.

Some of those truckers are obviously very dehydrated.

They can’t blow up if you vent them, so take your .22 pistol along when you pick up trash.

3 liter soda bottle, a quarter cup of water, and a MRE heating packet.
(Bonus tip: To add chemical irritant, empty all the little bottles of
Tobasco into the bottle before the water and shake/mix thoroughly
before adding the heating element.)

LOL, I just had to yell at my kid last night about those. I thought for sure the cops were coming.

>What about the plastic bottles left by truckers that appear to have lemonade or orange juice inside?

Well, you can drink it if you want to...

[Renderofveils]

We used to use pop-top water bottles in place of the soda bottle. You get a nice mist spray that way. But then again, we were engineers with too much time on our hands. ;)

Looks like what would happen if Obama told Rahm he had to hold in his F-Bombs until after the flight...

Think....
When you were a child and ‘they’ told you “Don’t eat the yellow snow”?

I was an infantryman with... well, time on my hands.

A BB-gun will do.

You’re such a tease....

In my neighborhood I bring my 357 magnum

Thankfully I’m usually the one doing the littering.

Why do I have a problem envisioning kids at night trying to assemble such device and covertly place it in neighborhood yards without prematurely bringing any of the ingredients in contact with each other?
