For Dan E...

No, you're right we used the fat free. The trans fat stuff would have made a bigger fireball. I was just being a smart ass... - Bob

Cool How thick was the ice and did you blow a hole in it?

The ice was 4 feet thick. No, we didn't blow a hole in it, but we made a dent in it! The cremora bomb is designed to blow straight up (hence the spectacular fire ball and mushroom cloud) so there isn't much collateral damage, but the bucket was a goner! The biggest piece we found was about a half inch big... - Bob

I'm sure I stand for coffee lovers everywhere when I say What a waste of Cremora!!! But funny as HELL anyway!! Troy

Like Dave said, it was a political statement against trans fats... Yea, that's it! That's the ticket! Funny is right... I'm the one laughing hysterically in the background. My friend Sam (the pyrotechnician and mastermind of the project) had just told our other friend Ben that it wasn't going to be a loud explosion... Ben was pissed as it was loud as hell! "I though you said it was quiet!" The audio doesn't do it credit. The State Troopers had been out about a half hour earlier checking fishing licenses (we were doing this using the cover of ice fishing). He came back about 15 minutes after it went off and shot us a dirty look, but that was about all he could do... - Bob

hisss hisss hisss...turn form the dark side Thumper...gasp gasp gasp Have fun Russ

Russ -- Think about it... Who had more fun, Obi-Wan or Darth Vader? I didn't see Obi-Wan blowing up any planets... - Bob

Hi Bob, I haven't been on the boards for a couple of days, but I thought I'd check it out tonight and I'm glad I did. I finally got to see the famous Cremora bomb and I'm quite impressed. Better living through chemistry!!! Now if you could attach that bomb to one of your rockets, maybe we could end the war in Iraq quicker. Dan
