    Uh, I do NOT need those items. Maybe the guy who built the mortar does! ;)

    Oh sure, you'll think you're all smart, saving money by making your own mortar... until your bricks stop sticking together and your fancy new house falls apart!

    (who needs to RTFA when misreading the article subject is more fun?)

      Nah, he will also need a wooden leg, a hook instead of a hand or at least an eye patch to become a full fledged pirate.

      But then, playing with toys like these, that problem will be solved in a not-so-distant future...

    Heh. Good points. But are you implying the legal system of any state (or federal level) could withstand that level of common sense?

    I would have poured a lot more than that into a pipe that big.

    One local nut built one complete with a gun carrage and took it to the local rifle range. The resulting blast brought the local, county and state troopers to see who was blowing crap up. Turned out when they found out, hung around for two more salvos from the monster! I saw the photos of the cannon going off and it had a impressive muzzle flash.
