Wow! What a Bad Day!

[Monkey Wrench]

Man, talk about being born under a bad sign!

 

[FastEddy]

I love it.
Would a small amount of gas mixed with water make enough fumes to blow up?
I could see it catching on fire but not making an explosion to blow someone through a door. The fumes cause an explosion not the gas.

Never the less its funny.

 

[beason]

I've read this somewere else. can't remember where. but the good old mythbusters tested just that eddy. the cig is to cold to even light the fumes. even a lit match will go out rather then burn when droped in liquid gas. gotta be hoter then that.

Another good reason to keep your nitros in the garage and out of the house.

 

[Plaidfish]

if the lid was down the fumes could accumulate...gasses stratify and near water they can just sort of hang out in open air as a pocket...different gasses have different "scenarios" needed to do that...I do alot of gas detection controls.....some of the poop we deal w/ is scary scary stuff...anyone knowor hear of "Silane"?........I'm not sure about gasoline but that would blow ass (hehe) to have happen to you.....

 

[Monkey Wrench]

You know what, you friggin' geeks, the point was not to embark on a discussion on gas accumulation, fume dissapation or how much heat is generated by a lit cigarette! Christ! It's just a funny story!

Put the Dungeons & Dragons coloring books away, you dinks!


My gosh, quit overthinking everything and just enjoy how funny the story is, no matter if it's true or not!

 

[sweetdiesel]

I think it can be done, I'm going to try tonight with natural gas first after a quick trip to Tamale City.

For the real test should I go with 87 octane or the expensive stuff? Chevron with Techron or good old Rotten Robbies?

 

[Monkey Wrench]

Man, this is just sad.....

 

[beason]

sweet you better watch it. eddy is gonna call you parents because your tring to blow yourself up!!!

go for the good poop. maby add a splash of octain booster to give it a fighting chance!!

 

[sweetdiesel]

I'm going to get video of it and send it in to mythbusters. For the actual attempt I'm going a la armstrong and shaving the monkey. I don't like the smell of burning hair.

 

[SMaxxin]

My wife sent this to me in an email LOL, thats some funny stuff right there.

MW it's our job to overthink things...Thats what makes us men...Anybody want a smoke :smoke:.......:flamer: LOL

 

[Revo Rancher]

I am sure the end of the story is that this guy probably became addicted to Vicodin after all that pain. Man, that was a painful day!

And Sweet, do what you want, but I DO NOT want pics, please! :censored:

 

[.21Rc10GT]

Sweet, use the 91 octane with some octane booster, lol. Actually i think the cheaper stuff is more flammible.

 

[Plaidfish]

MW...I just see things in literal ways sorry....usually a funny guy but the last few weeks at work I've had to shift thinking into overdrive...I swear I'll make ya piss yurself again...just gimme a few weeks to recover......did ya check the link I gave ya for your part??? I will go to the butthead store if you need it...I'd just rather go to a shop I want to support....

 

[Monkey Wrench]

No, not yet, man. My work PC took a crap on me. I'll take a peak when I get home.

...Put the Dungeons & Dragons coloring books away, you dinks!...

LOL . . . truer words were never spoken, there are so many people lying in wait to debunk a story, but it's largely the spammers and spoofers fault. No one trusts anything they see on the internet, and being an editorial it's up for grabs too. But you have to admit - it DOES sound like a forwarded email.

And it is a funny one.

OMFG! I'm soooo sorry Wrench, but LOOK WHAT I FOUND!

Dates back as far as 1949!

 

[HeartBreak]

Ya know, the one referenced in that link (the pulled over house thing) sounds EXACTLY what my dad would do.

He actually tried to lower a cb radio antenna tower down by himself, using a rope that zig-zagged the yard (from the antenna, to the eave of the house, then back about 100 feet to a wooden pole, held in place with a roofing nail, then back 50 feet to him. He had to rope wrapped around his arm.)

My exact words at the time to his friend; Can't you hear the looney tunes theme playin?

My dad; the living embodiment of Wile E Coyote.

 

[Monkey Wrench]

Oh, I totally agree that it sounds like an urban legend and I really didn't give it much credence. I just thought it was funnier than hell!

That being said, the link you posted, Rocknbil, is just as funny...and to think this story got started in 1949? Man, now that is some tall tale!

 

[Lessen]

LMAO! Real or not, that's funny poop right there. HAHAHAHA!!

 

[dannyd]

OMG. that just sucks. stitches burn and a broken colar bone. poor guy
