Look, everybody.  If I WANTED to build a bomb I could.  I had a very
bad experience with calcium carbide at school once.  I had brought it
to science class as a part of a discussion of caves (it's used in spelunkers'
headlamps) and stored it in my gym locker since the gym period and science
period are right next to each other.  Through a misunderstanding, the stuff
ended up wet in a garbage can in the bathroom.  It COULD have turned into
a bad situation, but I knew exactly what I was dealing with and acted
accordingly.  Because of that one incident, I'm STILL introduced to people
by my friends as "The guy who built the carbon  (sic) bomb and blew up
the gym".  Anyway, the point is that is I wanted to make a bomb, 
I'd do it with potassium nitrate and aluminum filings and charcoal
and good rocket launchers which are commercially produced.  I WOULDN'T
do it with spit and calcium carbide and a cigarette.  I would take a Coke
bottle, put tinfoil and a certain ingredient (very easy to get) into it,
and chuck it down the hall.  BUT I DON'T.  The reason is simple.  I
don't like hurting people.  But let's say someone does a horrible deed
unto me.  I take a M-80 casing from a certain company, the address of which
I have, and fill it with a certain chemical, like pressure sensitive flash
powder, then stick it in the jerk's locker.  He opens his locker, it blows
up in his face, and...
   FEEN DID IT!  He's the one who blew up the gym! (I didn't do that, remember?

) I get blamed. I go to court. I end up either in Junior Detention Home
or in jail.  So I would never actually build a bomb, not even paint 
somebody's chair with ammonium tri-iodide. I want to know about the rocket
launcher (nichrome wire) because I'm interested in electronics. I would
rather use an Estes rocket launcher IF I built a bomb, which I wouldn't,
than some idea thought up by a kid at MIT which won't work unless it's
submerged in some chemical, and if it isn't it blows me up............
But I digress.
Thanx everybody!  I'll digest all this and send it back without headers.
