Explosives Camp
theodp writes "How about a summer camp where you get in trouble for not blowing things up? Students with a passion for all things explosive and proof of US citizenship pay a $450 fee to attend Summer Explosives Camp, 'We try to give them an absolute smorgasbord of explosives,' quipped a professor at the University of Missouri-Rolla, which offers a minor in explosives engineering. Here's the brochure (PDF), kids!"

Obviouthly it's a technical thchool and not anything near the ivy leagueths... The brothure acthually stateth that the deadline for applicanth is April 1th.

Stop. Think. A Briton is in America, wanting American citizens - and only American citizens - to play with extremely dangerous explosives. There can be only one explanation. Revenge for The A-Team and Knight Rider.
It's a small world and it smells funny; I'd buy another if it wasn't for the money; Take back what I paid (SoM)
Come on now... this is a serious matter. And that is why I am introducing the "No Child Left in a Mine" bill to congress this summer...

It seems they don't want the competition.
Well, it's bad for business. I'm amazed that the far-right fundie Christian crazies don't actually align with the far-right fundie Muslim crazies. After all, they want pretty near the same thing and the fundie Muslim crazies can do a better job of the abortion clinic bombings, and cheaper. Why not just outsource?
But the car bombs help, if only a little.
which is totally what she said

If THAT is how you spell or make acronyms in Missouri, I'd be looking out of state for school too.

To be fair, the building from the middle east was in the country illegally anyway.
Is the safety briefing done by J. Walter Weatherman? "And THAT'S why you never hold a live blasting cap"
A man who can't pronouce "nuclear arsenal" shouldn't have one -sig ends here.
Now when I teach firearms safety, I have the student teach me back and I question the reasoning for each rule just to verify as much as possible that they understand and to force them to do extra consideration. The mindset when working with dangerous technology needs to include the foresight into what could go wrong. Understanding the context of each safety rule is very helpful.
And then you shoot them in the hand to make sure it really sticks
