Beauty wthout brains

And out of Riverton, comes this bomb-throwing, beauty pageant winner.

A woman who recently was crowned Miss Riverton after wowing the judges on the piano is accused of exercising a more sinister talent — cooking up homemade bombs and throwing them from a car.
Kendra McKenzie Gill and three others were arrested Saturday after allegedly tossing makeshift explosives in neighborhoods at least nine times. Police said the four 18-year-olds admitted buying plastic bottles, aluminum foil and household chemicals before assembling the devices.

Me and a group of friends killed a beaver once by throwing rocks at it over a long period of time.

One of the worst things I have ever done in my life and I regret it big time.

When I was 15 I got picked up for setting off some pipe bombs. We reloaded our own ammo and had plenty of the fixings. When a friend got a hold of some heavy duty fuse, we went and rounded up some old pipe from our dad's garages and sheds and such. Had some 1/2" brass pipe that we cut into 2-4 inch chunks, filled 3/4 of the way with smokeless and sealed off the ends best we could. My friend had a tap and we screwed on end-caps of some kind. Anyway, of the about dozen or so we tested, down by the train tracks and river in Riverdale near Riverdale Road, 3 of the littler ones went off for real. We stuck them in the mud and lit them off and it blew a hole maybe 3-4 feet around or so and sprayed water way up in the air. Sounded like about 3 M-80s going off at once. We found out if we shook them to loosen up the powder they went off much more reliably, but really it was the seal. Those must have been the only ones we sealed off well, as the others all sputtered out or blew the ends off or shot fire out of the hole the fuse was in. We were out of range and no one got hurt, but someone heard the first one and called the police. The police showed up right as #3 went off. We ran when we saw them but they caught my friend and he turned us all in. Punishment? Slap on the wrist and called our parents. I think I was grounded for 3 months, took away my Commodore 64 and everything. That's it. Things are way different now that kids have gone to schools chucking pipe bombs around.

Never made one that big but we used to take a package of red TNT sparklers, leave the middle one an inch above the others in a bunch for a fuse, wrap them in electrical tape and blow stuff up. We destroyed a garbage can full of water and blew a 5 gallon bucket about 50 feet into the air.

There's a reason you can no longer buy red TNT sparklers. They're all gold now. If I knew I would have stocked up about 500 packages of them.
