Backyard bombs

The worst thing a woman could do is refer a child to the father at science fair time. Or at least when that father is me. I've got no problem lighting any fuse. However, after research my suggestion to put water and dry ice in a 2 litre Coke bottle, I thought maybe I just do some research. Thankfully that lucid thought brought me to the page warning that just such an act constitues a potential Class B felony. I'm sure Chip and Suzy parent would have loved for me to show bomb making tips during the Tuesday night science fair. But I was bound and determined not to move onto some experiment containing Pop Rocks and soda. So instead of putting the cap on the bottle, we put a balloon. The resulting explosion was not nearly as bad but we no longer have a chipmunk problem.
