This blog is a random collection of information, partly in support of my quotations web site. Other topics include wine, military news, economics, history, libertarianism, and other random things which happen to strike my fancy. Backup site is at http://quotulatiousness.blogspot.com/ (if there are no posts showing, hit the backup blog for explanation). Comments have been turned off, as the spam was getting too much to handle. Comments can be emailed to me for posting.
That is pretty cool! I wonder how long it took to set up, and where the person found the space to do this without attracting attention of the fire department.

If this had been a Gary Larson cartoon I imagine the caption would be. " After collecting every type of combustible he could find, for two years. Walter decided to test his concept for asking his girlfriend to marry him. After the test was complete he realized he would have to wait two years to collect enough materials."

In response to DaWife, I think we both know the answer to that: the guy is a British gynecologist. So when he nicks down to the local DIY shop and loads up his Jeep Cherokee with gasoline, fireworks, fertilizer and other potentially explosive goods, nobody dare say anything.
You or me, though? Try buying a packet of 7-7-7 plant food and just wait to see who shows up at your front door at three in the morning with a battering ram, guns drawn, and -- presumably, although we won't be able to see their faces behind the black balaclavae -- a smile.
Humph.

That is a bit from a movie of about 25 minutes that has played on a non-stop loop at the Ithaca Science Centre for years. I watch the whole thing every time.
