honey, why is there a mushroom cloud in the back yard?

i've said it before and i'll say it again: i like me some demolition...

i remember reading about match stick bombs when i was a kid - i never saw one in real life though - but here's a video of the effect minus the shrapnel (since the match heads weren't confined in a sealed vessel that would have formed the outer shell of an actual bomb)... i believe the proper term for this is deflagration...

today's demolition was brought to me (so i could share with you) by the fine folks at boing boing ('cause apparently they like demolition too)..
