BBC's Water Rocket-Vehicle Contest

The idea is you use a bicycle pump to pressurize the bottle to drive the vehicle. There are pressure limits (no more than 70 psi) so dry ice is out of the question. Gotta use a bike pump. Fastest car to go 20 meters is the winner. If you're going to play, you had better get going ... contest ends on Nov 6." Bonus points if you're riding it at the time.

    I think that the beer you speak of so fondly may be clouding your judgment. The holy FRIST POST is a competetion to see who can spew out the most intelligent sounding drivel before any one else has a similar brain-fart.
