Well I've had two ideas, both of which are dubious:
1) clasp both hands together to act as a combustion chamber, with a tube between the fingers as a barrel
2) build a combustion chamber out of snow
The latter sounds like a pain in the ass, the former sounds like an invitation for second degree burns and mild electric shocks.

Is this a entry? Who's?
Make it known so the builder gets the credit.

Alright... I can tell when a contest isn't taking off. :p
It appears that PeteS wins by default. PM me so I can PayPal you your prize.

I'm surprised by the lack of enthusiasm. Chalk it up to bad timing???

Disappointing to say the least. Hopefully it can be done again later with better results.

I tried to PM you but am not sure if it went. It is sitting in my outbox and not in my sent messages. Am I missing something in the PM process?

If I recall, things stay in the outbox (and can be edited) until they're read.

Most definitely... should have known better than to try this in the winter, and around Christmas at that.

Thanks. It was fun, but I'd rather have seen more interesting entries than to win especially by default. Maybe next time.
