As i said in my first post, http://www.ubersite.com/cgi-bin/message_get.cgi?message=107049247048802862, I havn't gotten much smarter over the years. This was a year ago at a summer camp I regularly attend. It was about 1 o'clock in the morning and about 5 of us were still awake. Myself Luke, Jason, my twin Ira, and our expendable test subject, Sean. Here is the stting, there was a firing with about 3 tenst circling it. All the tents were about 15 feet away from the fire ring. Now for about the past 30 mins we had thrown some where in the area of 24 soda cans in the fire. Jason and I were laying down in a tent with Ira. Sean was sitting by the fire during this all about 10 feet back on a log. We had throw all our cans in and one of the first ones was just propped up above red coals heating the whole time. We are all getting tired by this point and tell Sean to poke it with a hot dog stick (being this is his first time). Sean sneeks up on the fire thinknig that maybe if he is quite the shrapnel won't find him and he won't be picking soda can out of his teeth. As he approaches it makes a squelling noise,and he runs and hides behind a tree. After about a minute Sean comes back out and sits down on a log 10 feet away from the fire. We were all chatting expecting it done for, boy were we wrong. Out of no where the biggest explosion I have ever witnmessed occurs. It was like Pompeii. Red hot ashes and pieces of log fly into the air. The force of the explosion was felt half a mile away. It knocked over a lantern and cans of soda. Sean who was ten feet away was thrown back off the log and landed 5 feet from were he was sitting. Clothes were blown off of tent strings. Shrapnel was found about 25 feet from "ground zero." Now bear in mind this is only an alluminum can, and pieces were foudn that far away. It was felt in a camp site about 50 yards away and was heard in a 2 mile radius. Unfortunatly Sean escaped with otu injury.
I have always wanted to be a docter and missed my only chance of performing surgery to remove shrapnel:(

The Vesuvius eruption that destroyed Pompeii and Herculaneum was quite small, on a relative scale. The explosion and razing of Krakatoa was in the order of a magnitude bigger. Get it right.
Besides, if you want to put something interesting in campfires, real men use deodorant cans. Full ones. Kaboom.

I'm not fluent in Typo.
What's a docter, anyway? Sort of like a doctor but not smart enough to spell the title correctly?
