Mom Arrested After Son Makes Dry Ice "Bombs"

Posted by samzenpus on from the mr.-terrorist-wizard dept.

formfeed writes "Police were called to a house in Omaha where a 14-year-old made some 'dry ice bombs' (dry ice in soda bottles). Since his mom knew about it, she is now facing felony charges for child endangment and possession of a destructive device. From the article: 'Assistant Douglas County Attorney Eric Wells said the boy admitted to making the bomb and that his mother knew he was doing so. The boy was set to appear Tuesday afternoon in juvenile court, accused of possessing a destructive device.'" She's lucky they didn't find the baking soda volcano in the basement.

    I reckon an Ankh-Morporkian can congregate alone, but my national stereotypes aren't up to picking a real nationality for it.

    remember the guy on The Muppet Show who always was trying to blow things up? I bet if they tried to re-release that show today, they'd censor him out of it.

    Excellent idea. Let's start a movement to rename it the "United States of Ankh-Morpork". Maybe that would wake a few people up...

    That is what your neighbor's unsecured Wi-Fi is for. That is also the same reason my Wi-Fi uses encryption.

    the same definition of "bomb" that applies to popping bubble wrap or balloons, or a rectum - "A vessel which contains compressed gases."

    Oh great. Now they're going to close down all the Taco Bells in the airports. Thanks a lot!
