Okay. Let's face the facts guys. We have all done some kind of stupid crap like these dorks, but these guys take the cake. Even in my most party-induced mood, I would never have done THAT.

We had an old truck drive shaft, that a 12 oz soda bottle fit perfectly into. Coincidentally, so did a tennis ball.

We would put water an dry ice in the bottle, load the bottle into the hollow cut-off drive shaft, then toss in the tennis ball.

It would shoot the ball all the way over a lake to the other side.

These guys did not have the correct ice/water mix.

Okay, don't nobody try this! I was thirteen when some friends and I decided to see if something I dreamed up would work. We took six packages of blackcat firecrackers and two gross of bottle rockets and assembled all the powder out of them. We then poured it into a glass pop bottle, poked a hole on the lid for a fuse, screwed the cap on tight and drop it down a post hole and lit the fuse. We had tied several fuses together so we were able to get a couple hundred feet away before it blew.

Fire, smoke and a good cubic yard of dirt and rock spewed out of that hole along with an explosion so loud, windows in a church a quarter mile away were broken. Our parents knew it was us because all four of us were nearly deaf for a week. Mom wanted to turn us over to the sherrif, but Dad said we had learned our lesson.
