  1. You could go to walmart and the hardware store and make a bigger bomb for less money and effort then getting any of these chemicals...

     

    Back in High School we blew up a car with a pound of triple F' date=' a metal tube, and foot of bomb wick... Total cost $20.00...[/quote']

     

    I can't believe you would say such a thing. Don't stifle his imagination.....pipe bombs are really quite boring.

  2. Cool. It looks like a pulse jet. What pressure do you use and have you used any disposable wading to help it seal.

    I'm going to try for at least 125 psi, and seeing as I work for a company that makes paper towels.....greased paper towels will do nicely. :D

  3. Well, it just so happens that white tail deer archery season is now open in Wisconsin. And with this season come the old wives' tales of the inbred hillbilly emptying the shot from a 20 gauge shotgun shell and firing an arrow in its stead. Well, after pondering this story I decided that a pneumatic arrow launcher would be the way to go.

  4. Let us settle one thing here if nothing else. IQ is not a measurement of practical knowledge garnered from our wonderful educational system, it is a way of quantifying an individual's ability to assimilate the information presented them. Which brings me back to the point of child genius, if intelligence were based upon education, this would not be possible. It is highly unlikely that a five year old will score a 36 on the ACT, but that is a test of knowledge not intelligence, moreover it is quite possible that the same child may score above 140 when presented with an IQ test. How could that be you ask? Well could it be that an individuals ABILITY TO LEARN is in no way influenced by such factors as age, wealth, geographic location, or political affiliation?

  5. People in rural' date=' religious communities in the United States are generally less educated than people living in a rich suburb. Education [b']does[/b] affect intelligence.

     

    Psychometric physiologists insist that IQ is independent of education but this is not true.

     

    So taking that same tack; would you be willing to say George Bush is of above average intelligence? After all, he had the finest education money can buy. :P

  6. Why do we even bring education into this? A standard IQ test really only measures problem solving ability. Education has nothing to do with the ability to reason out a pattern from a random group of numbers, shapes, etc. As with any other statistics, I'll have to take this with a grain of salt. The chances of manipulation and outright bias are just too great.
