Bad Ideas You'd Like to Try?

It always amazes me how many people I know who have lived in the Midwest their whole lives and never seen a tornado. I've seen 6 and I'm not 30 yet. Most were in a 30 mile radius, and fairly small. One was an F3. Probably the most incredible thing I've ever seen.
Stuff better be worth something. I'm not just cleaning your garage and deleting your hard drive.
I'm in the 'Never seen a tornado and I'm from Iowa' camp. I'd love to see one though.
It's not something I'd try, but there's a video I saw where a guy was using a chainsaw attached by rope/string to use for cutting his hedges by swinging it around in a circle around him.
I'd rather just be an audience and watch that guy live his own bad ideas.

I think I might skip watching the chainsaw swinger in person. If he's bad enough to screw up and kill himself, he's bad enough to accidentally lose the rope and send it flying into the audience.
wet the bag first. don't want a static spark to ignite the bag accidentally before you are ready. also you may want to start smaller with a rubber glove or balloon first so you know what you are dealing with.
People like you pi$$ me off. I would love to see a tornado and haven't, been in Iowa almost my whole life.
This. A thousand times, this. I can speak from experience of blowing up many many things filled with acetylene. But one night at a party in high school (central IA) we would fill trash bags with acetylene and then take the bow and arrow and shoot the bag with a flaming arrow. Boom! Big fun. Rednecks laugh and laugh. Run back to the machine shed to fill another bag. Repeat. A friend walking with what turned out to be the last bag for the night had it rubbing against his clothes as he carried it and BOOM! Singed the hair from one side of his head and he was deaf in that ear for two weeks. Rednecks laughed and laughed.
