A few weeks ago, our little town's football cannon blew up as well, injuring a young man here. He sustained severe head injuries. Our little hometown paper didn't even write it up! And the game went on, as if nothing had happened. Yes, we here in America take our gladiator sports quite seriously, and what's a little carnage in the face of that? |

Quoting: a passing cloudi guarantee you they are all bush supporters. i guarantee you they are all bush supporters.<< Nah, you can't play football with a Republican head anyway, so Most likely they're all Democarps. You need the high air content of a Democarp head to get the proper spiral, so these footabll supporters are most likely Dems. Besides most Reps follow the NFL and could give a crap about little league High School football, Reps are mostly big leauge type guys, plus I don't think they have any Reps in the Seattle area, too much Starbucks and Granola for us for us. ____________________________________________________ E-mail anytime [email protected] Inquiring about a ban?, include the IP address found here.

From the way the article started off, it sounded like it was going for a "Hey, this kid did something really stupid" angle. But when you read the later half of the article, it doesn't sound like the kid did anything wrong, unless it was by mistake. Either the article isn't telling everything, or there's some seriously fucked up people in that town. |

How can a cannon blow up if the barrel is empty, ie. no cannon ball,just a wide open barrel? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 159906Black powder has two uses... First and foremost is as a controled burning propellant...When firmly packed in a barrel, it will rapidly burn from the ignition source to the end of the propellant along the flamefront...The resulting expanding gasses will accelerate a projectile that is firmly placed against the powder, and in fact 'burns' best under slight compression... The other 'use' of black powder, is as a low explosive... When ignited while NOT under compression, black powder can and will 'explode' (not 'detonate' as that is an aspect of high explosives) which is basically the entire mass of powder burning at the same instant releasing mass amounts of expanding gasses which will find the path of least resistance...Sometimes this is not the opening of the barrel... In a signal cannon, you need to compress the charge with a 'wad' of some type to keep the charge under slight pressure...If the wad is only reamed partially down the barrel, there is too much remaining airspace, and the entire charge may 'explode' at once... Trust me...It happens more than you think...Especially with people that are not aware of the dangers and correct techniques... |
