bomb 101

2007 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Back in 1998, while in highschool a friends of mine attempt to make a pipe bomb using a metal pipe and matches tips. He starts by hammering one side of the pipe and then he filled it up with matches tips.He decided to close the other side of the pipes the same way he had done the first ... He only lost a finger but the spirit of darwin award was there!

Well, let's hope he's gotten THAT one out of his system. A prank like that now will get him several years behind bars! Thanks for sharing with us.

Seriously stupid! At least he wasn't working with anything more dangerous than matchtips (and they're dangerous enough!).
