    Default Bottle Bomb: At least read

    If your yard fronts a street, you have probably found discarded pop bottles in your yard. Annoying. But I guess now, those pieces of litter may be more ominous than before.

    Put in a piece of tin foil, pour in a little water and a bit of drano and screw the cap back on and leave it where someone can find it and pick it up. After it is shaken even a little bit, the mixture violently reacts building pressure that will explode the "bomb" within 30 seconds.

    I'll be checking out discarded pop bottles...sort of gives new meaning to POP doesn't it!

    There is a video there of police disposing of one such bomb in Indiana sometime in April of 2010. Plus a more detailed description of the bomb.
