Feinstein Fondu

Senator Diane Feinstein (D,CA) took advantage of the public consternation over the OK bombing to express outrage that receipes to construct bombs were available on what she called the Internet.

This page brings you selected excerpts from the USENET group rec.pyrotechnics. (See also alt.engr.explosives.)

SOAP

In article <3v1pop$bsn@rigel.pixi.com>, crscasio@sirius.pixi.com (Lawrence Koga) says:

Hi, I have a simple question. How do you make soap from animal fat, or vegetable oil? I know the chemistry from books, but there is no formula. I know there is a genius out there that can guide me?

I want to use this to demonstrate chemistry in action. A bomb would be more effective, but kids are easily swayed. I think soap is still spectacular.

• Hmm, it's a bit off topic for rec.pyrotechnics, but it beats spud cannon formulae: [receipe deleted]
• Well, it's not pyrotechnics, but then again, it's not KooL DuDZ making bombs, so... [receipe deleted]

Could somebody send me info on how to damage, or destroy a car.
There is a person I really hate, and I need to kill his car!!!

• Let my roomate drive it!
• Drive it over a cliff. Make sure you're going fast enough so it doesn't hang up on the edge.
• Eat it. Start with the battery.
• You probably won't get a very serious answer here. Alt.revenge is a better place to ask about stuff like this. Make sure you read their FAQ first before posting. They aren't very inclined to give out ideas to people who don't follow the guidelines.
• Call the BATF and tell them you saw a grenade in the car.
• [Responder has suggested tracking car's routes, then jumping onto windshield from freeway overpass] I'd have added only one thing to your message to the person who asked about destroying a car. He should have a 16 pound bowling ball clutched firmly in his crotch as he makes the jump. That way the added mass will be certain to break the windshield! (G)
