A big firework. It goes up, up, up and explodes, showering the onlookers with fortune cookies.-- hippo, Nov 04 2001 I thought this was the other way round, you take a bite of a biscuit and it blows all your loose teeth out-- po, Nov 04 2001 Isn't this kinda what the USAF are currently up to over the skies of Afghanistan?-- DrBob, Nov 04 2001 Good point, [DrBob].(By the way - burnt any good effigies of the Pope recently?)-- hippo, Nov 04 2001 Mmmmmmmmmm wise and exploding-- kaz, Nov 04 2001 I was also expecting it to be the other way around. "Today you will be very lucky" Arrrgghh! My frickin' eye!-- CoolerKing, Nov 04 2001 Anyone notice that this is the only bomb idea with at least a piece of a croissant? Considering this is pretty silly (no offense), how bad must the others be?
[Oh, darn, some others got croissanted after I wrote this...]-- magnificat, Nov 05 2001 meow-- po, Nov 05 2001 Read them and find out (if you dare).-- CoolerKing, Nov 05 2001 [UnaBubba] Oh alright, paper was quite an acheivement I suppose. Also porcelain and a few other things. I'm not sure if the 5000 continuous years of civilisation continued through Mao's "Great Leap Forward", but that's just my opinion...-- hippo, Nov 05 2001 [UnaBubba] A firework which explodes, showering onlookers with toilets would (a) probably be too too big for home use, and (b) have other disadvantages.-- hippo, Nov 05 2001 It's raining toilets again! Everybody into the bunker! Damn that estate agent for not mentioning the firework testing range next door.-- CoolerKing, Nov 05 2001 Fireworks & toilet paper has been baked (Hallowe'en). I suppose this is just the logical next step.-- stupop, Nov 05 2001 Just a thought, but wern't fortune cookies invented in New York? I would rather see the wet noodle bomb [PeterSealy] was talking about.-- barnzenen, Nov 05 2001 A big firework. It goes up, up, up and explodes, showering the onlookers with fortune cookies, in bed.
Incidentally, I lived in China for two years, and not once did I ever get a fortune cookie with my meals.-- Guncrazy, Nov 05 2001 It's true, fortune cookies really don't exist outside of the States. There are a very few Chinese restaurants in the UK that still sell them, but they are a predominantly USian thing.
Combining China's 2 greatest achievements: A firework goes up, explodes and showers copies of the I Ching over onlookers (but only because sparky beat me to the Great Wall of China)-- CoolerKing, Nov 05 2001 I can't believe [AfroAssault] hasn't chimed in yet...-- phoenix, Nov 05 2001 I wish you had told me about the wheat earlier, my sister just got married a couple of weeks ago.-- barnzenen, Nov 06 2001 PeterSealy , Cook it first, it's much softer-- dare99, Nov 06 2001 But don't use rice pudding (particularly the canned variety).-- angel, Nov 06 2001 Your Fortune: Friendship cleans doorsteps. Lucky Numbers: 8--1,563,832--24--1/2--0--666-- zaphod12, Nov 06 2001 kisses?-- lewisgirl, Nov 06 2001 I assumed from the title that when the firework burst it spelled out a fortune in the sky. "He who look up now have ash in eye," or some such. Yeah, stupid.-- bristolz, Nov 06 2001 Huh. Not bad, hippo, not bad at all. I'd vote for such a silly idea, but I think 10 is enough.-- absterge, Nov 07 2001 "Rice, I say, fill em up with all that leftover rice, and viola.....a feast for all."
Cello! a feast for all! Ukelele! a feast for all! Shamisen! a feast for all!
Perhaps the idea is to fill the firework with violas.
I love typos that actually mean something...-- magnificat, Jan 29 2002 Exploding toilets? That reminds me of a certain work of modern art I once saw. It looked like a few stopped-up toilets blew up all over a wall. Not a pretty sight!-- magnificat, Jan 29 2002 random, halfbakery
