An explosion from a firecracker inside a moving Jeep

Donald Wilkes, 61, said the blast rattled his house and woke up everyone inside. He initially thought someone had crashed into his parked truck

That weren't no firecracker.

Darwin would appreciate the vast gulf between fuses and timers. Sort of a natural filter.

There is a reason those things don’t say...

Light fuse, put car in gear, drive away.

“The man was stocky, estimated at about 28 to 30 years old, and coherent. But he wouldn’t answer questions about what he had been doing, Wilkes said.”

When we were little, my dad would light cherry bombs with his cigarette and throw them out the car window, while driving during those times of the year.

I think that was taking an absurd risk, with kids in the car.
