    And next week, boys and girls, we'll examine (and try to teach you
    morons) a form of humour called "irony"...

    Well, I've eaten frogs legs, so I reckon once we figure out how to
    make cane toads safe for eating, you could have any number of
    delicacies derive therefrom.

    Such as:

    Smoked cane toad.
    Cane toad liver pate
    Cane toad stroganoff
    Sweet and sour cane toad
    Cane toad in black bean sauce
    Cane toad Wellington
    Cane toad schnitzel
    Crumbed cane toad brains
    Cane toad goulash

    The possibilities are limitless...

    Oh! I thought you meant it as an example of true Australianism -
    supporting two of the most horrible things Australian states have to
    provide.

    Add a pie floater, served by a NSW politician, in Melbourne weather
    and a croc to see you home....

    A butane gas canister and a blowtorch applied to the canister for the
    required time. Or explosives.

    Fireman Doug says; Supplied for informational purposes only. Don't try
    this at home, kiddies.

    Petrol tanks won't explode. If the tank is unable to release the
    pressure buildup they may rupture and erupt in flame but this will be a
    whoof rather than a bang or a boom.

    In a vehicle fire, gas struts are more of a hazard than petrol tanks.

    LPG tanks are another matter entirely. Cairns BLEVE 1987;

    And Fred Nile singing "all things bright and beautiful"...

    Although I used to enjoy going to Harry's CdW and having a pie and
    peas with hot English mustard, at 4.00am. Is Harry' still happening?

    I'll take this rather good advice.
    I think that statement is too general. Given an admittedly rare
    combination of a number of a events all occurring at the same time,
    there will be a bang. Fuel/air ratio, temperature, pressure during
    ignition, pressure buildup after ignition...
    Detonation is probably rare, but can and does happen.

    I suppose some people have never seen or made a Stone's bomb.
    Detonation can occur, though I've never heard of one involving a car.

    When I was a kid we used to lay the match on the strike with a thumb on the
    match-head and the box in the palm and then flick the thumb outwards firing
    the match forward.
    This way the match was still firing as it flew through the air and was good
    for 2 or 3 meters with reasonable accuracy.
    Sometimes the match-head would stick to your thumb though and give you a
    nasty phosphor-burn!!

    I've met a lot of cane-toads in my time but I've yet to see a "sweet" one!

    As Billy Connoly mused: who was the first person who looked at a cow's tit
    and thought "I'm gonna squeeze that and drink whatever comes out"!

  18. This is my kind of answer - you get a free ticket to the book launch.
    Better get in touch with me closer to the date.

    I've never seen one explode. Ive seen them go off properly, and Ive
    seen them shatter, and in both cases it's a rapid combustion "woof", but
    not an explosion.
