1 gallon of gasoline is roughly equivalent to 14 sticks of dynamite in explosive force. A stick of dynamite is four times as strong as an M-80.

Enjoy.

I must question the value of your life if you can sit on the same joke for a year. Come on dude, I'm over it, you can get over it too. :roll:

WTF. EyeMWing were you on a long mod imposed vacation or did you take a break on your own? You haven't been around for awhile.

Self imposed. Goombas that think they're funny (AKA PM4A) kept bringing up the same damn junk in every thread I wandered into. Apparently they havn't gotten over it, either.

I am not sure if this is correct, or incorrect, but it does make some sense.
However fats and oils have a tendacy to get hot in the microwave and they have polar components. That or it is my imagination when the cheese on my pizza melts in the microwave.

Have you ever seen the video with the lit candle in the microwave?
That was some crazy stuff.

I wonder what black powder would do?:evil:

Get it wet a little so the microwaves have something to vibrate to create heat.

That PM4A guy is a real loser. I hate him.

I don't have the link, but I remember seeing it either with, or linked from, the post about putting CD's in a microwave for a cheap CD destroyer.
Don't try this at home, btw... as I'm pretty sure the nuked CD's give out toxic fumes.

I'm at a location where I can put some pyrodex in a microwave and get some video...

Come to think of it I'll try a sparkler too.

Cheers!

Here

It's on college humor, but I figured a link to the page that sends you the file wouldn't be good...
