darkstar Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 (edited) Apparently that foiled terror plot thing they discovered this morning regarding airliners from the UK is getting way more extensive. Supposedly the bombers were going to use "a sports drink" mixed with a peroxide paste as a bomb.

OOO Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Dry ice + water inside a water bottle is a great way to get plastic shards in your face, as some of my classmates found out in highschool. these kids were luckier: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bjorn_skurj Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Doubt it would have helped him. Democrats separate the war in Iraq from the war on terror. In general, we feel the former was disingenuously linked to the latter by Bush, when, in fact, the war in Iraq has diverted resources and troops from killing as many al-Qaida members as we can get our hands on the effective waging of the war on terror.

anodyne Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 boston globe headline: "Lieberman says Lamont doesn't understand terrorist danger" (posted this morning on boston.com) just so we're clear, i agree with you. this further shows how republican lieberman really is.

darkstar Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 We made gunpowder and put it in a tennis ball when we were in eighth grade. It burned, but didn't explode. making shit explode and burn was a lot of fun when your a kid... We used to make a "cannon" with a tennis ball can and lighter fluid. It would shoot a flaming tennis ball pretty far. It's a wonder I have all of my fingers still Quote Link to post Share on other sites
