Start Your Campfire with Dynamite!
Sure, you can start your campfire with some newspaper or kindling, but why would you do that when you can use dynamite? These cool fire starters look like dynamite, straight out of of an old western movie.
Made by the Black Rock Powder Company, these firestarters look like sticks of TNT. They’re great for blowing up railroad tracks so you can rob the train of its gold, or for breaking your buddy out of a frontier jail. Each firestarter stick measures 8 x 1.25 inches and is made from paraffin and recycled sawdust. A single stick can burn for 30 straight minutes.
A crate of these things is priced at $29.95(USD), with 20-pack refills costing $12. I wonder how they ship these without raising having them confiscated by The ATF.

Mr. Boom & Little Ms. Dynamite Lamps Create Explosions of Light
German design studio Docstone loves making concrete-based furniture. It showed off a pair of its newest creations at the recent 2013 iSaloni exhibit. The Mister Boom and Little Miss Dynamite are both lamps that look and work like traditional explosives.
The Mister Boom, featured above, has a light switch that looks and works like an old-fashioned TNT detonator, while Little Miss Dynamite has a smaller and more modern dial switch. Both are meant to be wired to “light bombs” shaped like bundles of dynamite.
Head to Docstone’s website to see pdf product brochures for both lamps.
Jenga Boom Adds an Explosive Twist to Jenga
He passes it to the man and boom goes the dynamite. Jenga Boom Game adds a ticking timer and an “exploding” pile of dynamite under your Jenga tower. You pull the detonator before each turn, resetting the timer, and you have to remove your wooden piece before time runs out and the whole tower crashes down. It’s the perfect defense against that guy who takes fooooorrrrreeeevvvvverrrr to make a move (hopefully that isn’t you).
