If you couldn't get enough of the exploding cigar or the exploding golf ball, try the exploding condom! Just go to a party with plenty of sexual activity, and leave one where it'll surely be found and used. See the surprised expression on your friend's face as he comes screaming out of the bedroom! Oh, the memories I'd have if these existed...-- AfroAssault, Oct 19 2000 (?) exploding condoms http://detnews.com/...807/04/07040061.htmsorta... [egnor, Oct 19 2000, last modified Oct 04 2004] really?-- AfroAssault, Oct 20 2000 Give us a link, waugsqueke. Please? I've gotta see this one!-- BigThor, Oct 21 2000 I think waugsqueke is referring to the explosion that usually follows the deployment of a condom...More like an explosion suppressor.-- blahginger, Oct 21 2000 1. Get a condom. 2. Get some rubber bands. 3. Find enemy automobile. 4. Open Condom wrapper. 5. Fill condom with liquid. 6. Fit condom over tailpipe. 7. Use rubber bands to hold condom on tailpipe. 8. Open hood. 9. Remove a spark plug. 10. Stuff condom wrapper in combustion chamber. 11. Replace spark plug. 12. Close hood. Use your imagination.-- Amishman35, Apr 19 2002 Amishman35, what'll that do? I'm not an auto repairman or anything, so maybe I'm missing the point of the condom on the tailpipe and the reason for using a condom wrapper specifically in the engine...-- Qinopio, Apr 19 2002 Mistress Meph: Flammable liquids wouldn't make a balloon explode, just catch fire. Not just any fire, mind you, a really BIG fire. If you use flammable gas, however, and tape a fuse to the balloon, then you get one hell of an explosion. Amazed even me. Amishman35: I also fail to see what some of what you described would do, aside from make the car run on 1 fewer cylinder than intended.-- AfroAssault, Apr 22 2002 Oxygen and acetylene in a balloon tossed into a small fire in a 55 gallon drum. I've seen it. Oh my.-- bristolz, Apr 22 2002 Back in my school days, friends of mine would fill balloons with deodorant and then set them on fire. KA-BLAM!
Some called us pyromaniacs, but I preferred to think of it as 'investigative science'.-- BenII, Apr 22 2002 bristolz- acetylene was what was in that balloon on that fateful night. Damn impressive.-- AfroAssault, Apr 22 2002 PETN-- bristolz, Apr 22 2002 When the condom is over the exhaust pipe it will blow up like a baloon and spray sperm all over the car behind.-- Amishman35, Apr 23 2002 The condom will be filled to the brim with semen. When the car starts up, exhaust gases will inflate the condom, causing it to explode.-- Amishman35, Apr 24 2002 [UB]: Really? I thought that PETN was pretty obscure. Guess I am wrong. I learned about it when I did an oral report on explosives in the 7th grade. I wrote to DuPont and asked for information. They sent me a form I had to fill out explaining why I wanted the information. I guess my reasons were good enough because a couple of weeks later I received a booklet from them entitled "Explosives." I still have that booklet.
Oddly, in the booklet it's spelled pentaerythritetranitrate, one word.
Oh, and I got an "A" on the report.-- bristolz, Apr 24 2002 Yow. I bet there'd be some difficulty doing a report on explosives in 7th grade of an American school these days.-- waugsqueke, Apr 24 2002 Exploding condom? Considering where condoms go and what they do, I don't think that would be kosher at all. If you're not going to think about the genital burns--which would have effects lasting far longer than the night of the party, for both parties involved--at least think about the lawsuits.-- disbomber, Apr 09 2005 On my "recent" list, I saw two really old ideas that I knew hadn't been annotated in a while. They were both in the same category. I didn't even have to think, I knew it was "disbomber" who did it. Only a week old?-- AfroAssault, Apr 10 2005 You're right. He has this habbit of doing that. Interesting, he's like our own little rototiller.-- finrod, Apr 11 2005 'Tis true. I like to click 'random' and then annotate if I find the idea interesting--why should old ideas just rot and die? Again, if this habit is not kosher, I'll stop it, but for me it just keeps discussions going.-- disbomber, Apr 11 2005 I think it's great. I did that a lot when I was new here, but there wasn't nearly as much material then. Now it's overwhelming; I usually don't venture far from "Overview" or "Recent" for no other reason than I spend too much goddamn time here as it is. I should be out setting fires and paying hookers to play possum in the road.-- AfroAssault, Apr 12 2005 I rarely do it but today is one of those days....-- normzone, Sep 08 2016 random, halfbakery
