Whistling Golfballs
I was just screwing around today and decided to drill a golf ball and see whats

Well if you ate the inside it would probabaly be bad.
But I doubt is real toxic since golfballs get broken open all the time from fatigue or mowers and that would be bad if it leached in to the ground. I always love hitting balls that have cracked or been hit by a mower, the whistle effect is pretty cool.

The German divebomber ( Stuka) had a siren to basically scare the hell out of it's target, before it released it's payload.

DO NOT EAT THE GRAY MATTER!!!!!!11
Yes, the gray plastic inside a golfball is not good for you, just like all other plastic is not good for you. Do not eat it.
Is the whistle constant, or does it come and go as the ball spins?
I have had good luck drilling through Golf balls by setting the ball in a cap from a 2 liter or 20 oz pop bottle. Ball doesn't roll that way.

Trying to figure out how to make a SCUBA first stage regulator work for portable charging station. If only that pesky job thing didn't keep eating up all my time...

ive done this with a normal golf ball playing golf. its horribly innacurate. and the stuff in a golf ball is toxic if its one of the ones with liquid inside. otherwise its just rubber........

I very much doubt that it is explosive. That being said, "The discussion of explosive or incendary devices is against forum rules" i have learntManiac wrote:i wonder if the txic stuff is explosive then all you wold have to do is feed fuse down it. light the fuse and then fire big explosion in the air.

My father told me of a story a while back.
He was just a "wee lad." He said he was cutting one with a saw and the liquid exploded on him, causing him to go blind (but briefly). He has been wearing glasses ever since.
