Toilet bombs

[sobrique]

Has anyone ever tried putting a firecracker down a toilet?

Having just had the discussion at work, I now really want to know what happens.

You see, I figure you're either going to have blown up toilet bowl, or just a mini water spout all over the cubicle.

How much 'explosive force' is necessary to blow a toilet up?

Enquring minds need to know.

Alternatively, if you have a toilet that you wouldn't mind overly getting blown up, please let me know. All in the interests of science of course...

(Oh, and whilst I remember, go read this. It's a quality rant from a Maths professor who's grading papers.)

moder toilets are made of resin and are quite quite flamable. I burnt one on a bonfire once. It had an argument with a dropped screwdriver and broke so after it was replaced it was cremated. I was curious to see if it burned. It did generate lots of some (which probably contained cyanide)
