Searching through the files I came across this;
There are these things called bomb bags they are comprised of a thick 3"x5" plastic bag filled with 5 grams of sodium bicarbonate and a smaller bag filled with about the same ammount of Citric Acid. you can buy them from novelty places and fairs and carnivals for $.50 each they are used by squeezing the smaller bag and crushing it allowing the citric acid to come in contact with the sodium bicarbonate releasing gasses that pop the bag.
and would like to know anyone else has similar ideas?:D

How the hell did this one get through? Yes, what you have described is the basic principle behind that �Baking Powder and Vinegar Volcano� (with some food coloring possibly added in to give the �lava� a more �realistic� look). You know, the type kids in elementary school build for their science fairs. This process is also used to pop open �stink bombs� which is probably what you were referring to.
All in all it would be quite pretentious, not to mention incorrect, for anybody to actually label this process as �explosive� or the device described above as a �bomb�. The thin bag simply pops because it can not hold or further compress the gas formed when the acid (citric acid) reacts with the base (sodium bicarbonate). This illustrates a simple acid-base reaction.
This forum does not deal with such trivial, useless, children�s pranks. As stated at the top of this page this is �The Explosives and Weapons Forum� and not the �Activities for your Young Children to do on a Rainy Day Forum�. Yet, I am rather curious as to why the mods have let this one through.

I think its good because it can be used to discus other pranks, childish and not.
A few I've heard of are:
1. 'Short sheeting' where you make someone bed so their sheets are just a little too short and they cant pull them up.
2. Mouse traps of the light switches when people come home late at light.
3. Bucket of water above the door. (Everyone should know that one)

@ random - chill out, its the water cooler - you know, the place where you can talk about unrealted stuff without fear of persecution.
I'm curious as to if that quote is from the archive somewhere. Our post quality hasn't always been what it is today; before we had the W/C stuff like this filtered through the rest of forum when people were bored and the active topics weren't all that active.
As to why it got through - "Ours is not to question why." Leave it to the mods and assume they have a reason. If your really worried try the report post button.

The letter I is ALWAYS capitalized when referring to yourself. Failing to do so is the leading cause of n00bie deaths around here. ;) Correct in the future. NBK

I apologize, perhaps I was a little bit anal of this thread, my post however was not all criticism. The atmosphere around this forum gives me the impression that new standards have now been imposed, and I don�t mind that one bit. I appreciate the standards the moderators have imposed here and I was merely trying to uphold them.
Furthermore, I am not asking �why� of the moderators in order to imply critique, but rather in order to learn the wisdom behind their choices, so that I may one day emulate it in my own choices.
However, since this thread has been deemed acceptable by others I will partake.
cTech, in reading your number 3 suggestion I was reminded of a scene in a (foreign) film I once saw, where a blind war veteran sets up a bucket full of gasoline in a similar fashion on his door in his retirement home room. When the assailant he was expecting comes through the door and gets soaked the veteran hears him and simply lights a match and throws it at him.
Various implications exist in this technique, as it would probably constitute �murder� rather then �a funny prank�(and the inherent risks surrounding fire), but this should be very simple to pull off by a sighted man.
For a non- violent approach, there is always the possibility of substituting water in the bucket for another less desirable substance such as super glue, paint, or animal feces. Hilarity ensues!

We can't be KILL! KILL! KILL! everyday. :p
Besides, you can practice your booby-trapping techniques and switches openly, just by setting off party-poppers instead of claymores.
Get the kids interested and educated in the skills in a manner that won't have the State taking them from you as they send you to prison forever.
Just have some fun! Life is a drag as it is, so live it up a little.

How about making a pipe bomb, by adding some sodium bicarbonate and a jar of vinegar, closing the cap, and then shaking the device in order to break the jar? Is this a prank anymore? I don't think so. Such a device would probably be able to demolish something made of wood.
Just imagine: easy to get and super cheap materials, "built in" timer by the very nature of the device, power...

Searching through the files I came across this;
Ahhh, the good ol' Stink bomb. Some of my greatest memories of junior highschool involve these little guys. :cool: Pinch the pack and toss it in a friends locker, or in the foyer at lunch. Very useful for evacuating sheeple. Although some happen to be duds, but what can you expect for 75 cents.
Another good prank is the classic dog-shit-in-a-bag-on-fire-on-someones-door-step.
or the Tie-their-mailbox-to-their-door-knob.
The best possible prank is when someone passes out on your couch and you elevated the couch as high as you can, when the victims goes to get up for the inevitable morning hungover piss, he gets a nice little suprise. :D

LMao, I was in a fabric store a few weeks back and came across the poppers in the christmas crackers; was thinking about surpising a mate or family member by taping once side to a door and the other to the frame. Not very inventive, but never the less...still pathetic :P

While it may seem a little kewlish, I think that there is definitely potential to this. Think outside the square.
My girlfriend's dad has a habit of putting booby traps around when she comes to my house (He was in the army) and I drop her home.
For instance, one night, it might be a pile of cans hooked up to a piece of fishing wire, where another thing it could be a bottle near the door so when we open it, it makes noise.
Adapt this to something. Instead of needed steel wire for a claymore or some kind of fancy trip system, think about using fishing line. Preform a lot of pranks on people, so that you get a feeling for how to hide them, what works and what doesn't.
Even children can be an inspiration to those willing to listen.
And hell, you will learn that people only really appreciate original and intelligent pranks. You won't normally get in trouble for doing a prank that doesn't hurt anyone and is extremely smart at the same time.
Lets look at 1 example. You know that old trick where you heat a coin up and throw it out into a corridor so that when someone tries to pick it up, they burn themselves? Well, why heat the coin up? Why not use something else?
A little VX painted on a coin will have some interesting effects.
Let your imagination run wild.

That brings back some memories. Me and my friends were a buch of fucking assholes.
Theres the good old smashing the hot-dog in the book trick right before christmas break. By the time they get back it's all different shades of gross.
Another good one is to replace the contents of a magazine esential for a class with filthy porn.
We also put a live squirrel in a friends locker once. The hardest part was getting the squirrel in a backpack. Too bad he didn't open up his locker when the halls were filled. :( The squirrel did make a mess though.

Thats just sadistic.
BUt that would be a nice touch to put on bums down town, you know, so that you know you've already 'dosed' that one.

My favorite Boobytr... Ummm I mean prank, was when we connected a half a bottle cap of AP to a clothespin trip wire, and connected it to a metal gate that our buddy had to open for work.
First priority was safety so we made sure that it was around the corner from him when he opened the gate so that nothing would hit him when it went off.
We set it at around 8 pm, and warned the group about staying away from the area. Finally at 11 we were all sitting waiting and watching as he walked towards the gate. He swings it open and.... Nothing.
Finally just as we started thinking "Oh no a dud" the bottle cap went off and our buddy almost shit a brick. The look on his face is still burned into my mind and everytime we remember that night we still laugh.
The delay was about 1.5 seconds give or take. My closest thought as to why there was a delay was the initiator I made. I took a christmas bulb, broke off the tip, filled it with homemade BP and held that in with a bit of cotton.
My BP was just mixed so It didn't have anywhere near the quality of the commercial stuff.
It burns slow And by the time it burned out of the bulb (or had enough force to crack it) my buddy had had enough time to let go of the gate and turn to face us, which I think made it much better than had he still been facing the gate.
