Re: Dumb things you did?

I wonder if this has been posted before but what are some of the worst things you have done? For one thing, regarding potato cannons; I was playing with my Econogun in the backyard and on one shot, it wasn't working. I managed to shake the orange out then I clicked the ignitor to see if it would ig...

copper may not be too good...its too pricey at this time at least in my area plumbers are going PVC now but if ya got that type money go for it you could try Rigid piping from the electrical department in lowes or home depot or even EMT pipe but be aware of EMTs thin wall... its not made for pressure
