The scary thing is - that's near me - as in less than 25/30mins drive away. I now fear about using the toilet at home... [http://forums.massassi.net/html/redface.gif]

I was sharing this story with a friend over AIM, and our conversation went:

me: I know... Imagine if someone had been using the toilet at the time... *snicker*
her: that would have been aweful
her: they could have been seriously injured besides getting a lot of crap blown on them
her: litterally crap
me: lol...

That must have been some high voltage, indeed. Aren't there laws/guidelines against running high-voltage lines underground? I thought I saw that in the NEC handbook somewhere. If not, I bet it will be in the next update. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]

One of my science teachers had guys at his old school who would fluch M80's down the toilets and with the stupid plumbing in the building one ended up going off under an occupied toilet on the girl's side. Apparently people heard a large explosion and then constant screaming for a few minutes. The girl ended up soaked from all of the water gushing up from under her.
