How stupid can you get? Expecting $35 for something any chemistry nerd can make for $5. No wonder he had no buyers. Jeesh! Hope HE doesn't go into marketing....

On the contrary- attempting that shows the makings of a great marketer, it's only his technique that needs refining until it actually works. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tunaplanet 0 #4 December 12, 2004 That is absolutely horrible. I can't believe someone would sell a pipe bomb for that much money. It's so much cheaper to make it yourself. What a rip-off! Forty-two Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhillyKev 0 #7 December 13, 2004 In a twistedly related sort of topic, a 10 year old girl was arrested and taken out of school in handcuffs here last week. Her crime was having a pair of scissors in her backpack. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 3 #8 December 13, 2004 So . . . two sets of school authorities that can't tell the difference between innocence and mayhem. While ejecting a kid for scissors is silly, just dismissing a pipe bomb as a silly school boy prank is, I think, pretty freekin' irresponsible.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nightingale 0 #10 December 13, 2004 hehe... me too. My brother and I were always blowing stuff up. Dad put a stop to it when my bro attempted to shoot a potato out of the exhaust of a 66 mustang. This probably was a kid just being dumb. However, the school should take it seriously to discourage any copycats. The administration who dealt with the kid with the scissors, though...that's just plain moronic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr2mk1g 10 #12 December 13, 2004 hehe, I damn near got suspended for something very similar to that while I was at school. Damn idiot friends selling stuff on... they were only supposed to take it home with them! People were a lot less sensative to this sort of thing back then though... and hell, that's not even that long ago. Wonder if "pipe bomb" might actually mean "fire cracker" too.
