I suppose the big problem with rectal explosive is that you must get something of a shaped-charge effect. Very good for punching through armour plated chairs, not so good for massive terrorist impact.

Major Bloodnok well ahead of the Joker, in that case...

"...you must get something of a shaped-charge effect."

Yeah, but to make the most of that you'd have to turn round, spread your cheeks and point your arse at the target. Otherwise the wetware would take a lot of the force of the blast. It's like if you put a firework up a cat's arse and held the cat while it went off, your hands wouldn't be damaged because you couldn't get a firework with a big enough charge up the cats arse in the first place.

If it wasn't for the politically correct brigade I have no doubt that this would be taught at chemistry O level.

Best pull my finger gag ever.

After we'd finished off chemistry A level, a kid in my class managed to convince the teacher to let him make Nitrogen Triodide, which goes bang at (literally) the touch of a feather.

Seek out goatse man for immediate deployment. He should manage to take out everyone in the room.

Not so - a shaped charge is a hollow charge. In fact, you'd get a more or less spherically symmetrical blast, with the most powerful blast in the horizontal plane, I think, as the explosive would be roughly cylindrical and the pressure gradient's highest at right angles to the cylinder's axis.

Also: a pound of explosive? He must have been walking funny.

Good God, just as I was getting used to the new customs searches.
