    We just witnessed the beginning of the end for RC planes. I predict that someone will use of these to attack someone. Needless to say, RC planes will be banned forever after that. Never mind that it will do nothing to prevent real terrorists from building and using them.

    I like how the geniuses waited until the last 20 seconds to black out the lat/long.

    How many hours after they posted this do you think it took the FBI to get to their door?

    Looks more like they were recreating it. Rain terror on those polish farms!

    @Hi, I'm God: While "lol" is an overused meme, in this situation it is perfectly acceptable. Zer0vash was merely acknowledging and complimenting elryry for his/her witty comment, an action that is warmly welcomed by commenters.


    I understand you probably did not realize any of this, Hi, I'm God, because getting applause for your comments is no doubt a foreign concept for you.

    In reply to Giz Service Announcement: Fireworks Can Blow Up Your Face
    I just want to let you all know some safety tips:


    Running around with a dozen sparklers sticking out of your anus may sound like a good idea but most people at the barbecue won't appreciate it, your boss will probably reconsider giving you that promotion, and even if you have a good health insurance plan through your work, it probably won't be covered.


    Also, don't eat fireworks. Especially lit ones. No one wants to see how long you can hold a lit M-80 between your teeth and the "let's swap a quarter-stick of dynamite for Uncle Al's cigar" is really kind of hackneyed.


    Leave the fireworks to the professionals. Besides, with all the loud bangs, it's the perfect time to catch up on those murders you've been letting slide.

    uhhh .... yeah. If you need to be told not to stand in the line of fire, you probably shouldn't be playing with explosives.


    Seems kinda obvious to me.

    I used to love catching this demonstration, or one like it, on C-SPAN every year when I was a youth. I always found them doing it IN Washington DC, and the casual glances people would give it when passing behind it, funny.

    I used to love catching this demonstration, or one like it(it's not loading right now), on C-SPAN every year when I was a youth. They always did it in Washington D.C. w/one monument or another in the background. It was fun watching a dummy get blown up in a plywood constructed "kids room" w/curtains and some random poster.

    At the end there he seems a little frightened at the fuse he lit... wuss. Obviously never lit a real firecracker (Black Cat) while holding it so he could throw it (only to have it go off prematurely and nearly blow off his fingers). Oh... the blood blisters... how I miss those days.
