I haven't been too active lately, just a little Nitrogen Tri-iodide and misc. small bangs/flashes. I have been thinking of buying a small piece of land to blow things up on 'though. I am especially curious about the effect of placing a container of liquid ignitable gas in a pile of thermite and igniting it. I would probably start small with a disposable lighter and then move on to something like a can of starting ether... Boy! I bet it would look real keen. How about it fellow netters? Any suggestions (other then the obvious safety precautions)? --Cliff [Matthews] {purdue, cmcl2, ihnp4}!lanl!unmvax!cliff {csu-cs, pur-ee, convex, gatech, ucbvax}!unmvax!cliff 4744 Trumbull S.E. - Albuquerque NM 87108 - (505) 265-9143
