Oh that's good - can you do it twice weekly without running out of
material?

Mike

I have about three years worth.
Until next week, here's another AJGLFTP (Andre Jute Great Lie From The Past)
just for you.

"Back in
my reckless youth, to kill crocodiles eating too many people on the
banks of the Oubangie in the Congo, we mined the river with nitro in
jam jars on twine and then threw in a log to blow up a couple or three
miles of the river at once. We made the nitro by heating dynamite in a
frying pan over a campfire to sweat out the jelly. There's a complete
description in "African Revenge" by Andrew McCoy

For a test I made a hole in a tree about four feet thick, put in an
ali cigar tube of nitro, then threw a log against the tree from about
thirty paces, and landed another thirty paces back and about fifteen
feet up in the branches of a tree face to face with a black tree snake
(no antidote; you die excruciatingly in 7-9 minutes); fortunately the
snake decided I was unlikely, considering my explosive habits, to live
to be a threat to it, and glided away with only a single disdainful
look over its shoulder. "
