if you hate cooking and want enough time to watch tv and make an explosion, get the smallest but longest coffee tin in your supermarket.drink the coffee if u want then chuck away the lid and drill a small hole in the side near the bottom.put a bit of string dipped in kero if u want safety(which is important),and put enough petrol in the tin for a small explosion.put on a forty-five degree angle.cram a tater in it.light the string take a couple of steps back.the spud should fly out and be cooked for that wholesome family dinner you've been wanting while you still get to watch the simpsons.
(cauting do not eat on any circumstances, only do this in an area where there is no people)

um, that wouldnt even cook 1/4 of the potato, it would just slightly burn the skin... And your talking about safety, and your saying use kerosine and petrol... smart. Also, a pringle can works 10x better with some lighterfluid dropped in , and a small hole for a match.

i quit using petrol in anything anyway because it cost so much now here in australia.It did more than burn the skin it burnt the whole thing.depends how much you use.And yes the pringle can works better but depends if your tired or need some chips.nothing more fun than blowing stuff up in shape or form.

if you cut the potato in half i highly doubt the inside would be burnt. But yes, blowing anything up is always fun, as long as you always have safety on your mind. And here in the USA gas is about $3.25 - $3.30 american money but it fluctuates almost every day its rediculous.

Yeah seriously. I drove out to San Francisco on Saturday and gas was like $1.23 and driving back it was $1.29. It's too expensive now.

$1.23 a gallon? i don't think so, do you mean a liter?
Jay Leno was talking about gas prices in california a while ago, he said the price was tremendous
when we went up to canada last year we thought gas was sooo cheap, but then we looked closer and they sold it by the liter.

I've cooked a potato with a bunsen burner before. 15 minutes and the center was still raw.

noname it's nog $1.32 a gallon in California unless your buying it from someone who syphons it out of other peoples cars....
USA is a money eating disaster when it comes to Bush and gas everyone has something to say...
Well, actually not everyone, no comment for me
Fun Fact of the day, gas is $6.48 a gallon in Amsterdam, Netherlands and $0.12 a gallon in Caracas, Venezuela
So if your in Venezuela I guess you can do this whenever you want

If you can get it in Venezuela. There is, of course, a thriving black market in petroleum distilates, in which venezuelians sell their gas to foreiners.
Which basicaly means there isn't any still in the country for them to use. It's a major issue, which just goes to show you what good government subsidized gas does anyone.
(and don't blame Bush. It's not his fault, so go complain about any of the other things he has screwed up.)

Imagine how much money you could make if you found a way to buy it in Venezuela and sold it in America, you would just have to overcome transport costs.
Some town bought a huge amount of gas 7 years ago, now they're the only ity in America with a "Fuel Bank."

lol, BLB is right, down blame bush, hes just a mere pawn, a spokesman if you will for a much larger system he is just a part of. Its a conspiracy with no solution (the american government that is) but yea, how does venezuela have gas that cheap and we cant do that... thats so wrong. If you could manage to smuggle say, a couple million gallons on a tanker, then you would make a prophit, but to try to sell it by getting like 500 gallons and smuggling it, your only going to make like 1500, minute the cost of the original 500, and transport fees, and effort to do this and time, not worth it. But a million gallons, hell yea go for it.
