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. :D

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. :P

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