<div>Now your getting it!! </div> <div>But, I think alcohol may be required in some form!! <IMG src="http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/tsmileys2/03.gif"></div> <div> </div> <div>Chris<BR><BR><B><I>Ron Van Putte <vanputte@cox.net></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">I was thinking about this. Suppose, instead of a beer can on a <BR>string, I attach a stick of dynamite with a remotely activated <BR>detonator. I let out the string as far as I want and set off the <BR>detonator from above ground. When the debris cloud from dirt/rocks/ <BR>people/animals disperses, I should have a neat hole in the ground, <BR>right where the pipe is.<BR><BR>Ron Van Putte<BR><BR>On Apr 6, 2008, at 11:29 PM, krishlan fitzsimmons wrote:<BR>> Alright Ron, I'll bite.

do is get some string, good quality... And a few beer cans <BR>> with one end cut off. Don't waste the beer, drink it first.. It'll <BR>> help with the whole process.. Then you attach an end of the string <BR>> to each can carefully. Take your time here, good quality knots are <BR>> important as to not lose the can that you send in.

Make sure you hold onto the other can firmly. Don't <BR>> want that one to get away from you.. Then, just like in the old <BR>> days before cell phones and all that garbage, you call yourself <BR>> using the cans and string with this technique. You get a <BR>> stethoscope as previously mentioned by others, and as you call into <BR>> the can, you get down on your hands and knees, and listen with the <BR>> stethoscope.. If you can't
hear yourself at first, yell louder into <BR>> the can until you can.. It may take a few attempts..<BR>> Now, I'm willing to give this info out on the condition that you <BR>> record your attempt at this to video so that I can tell you if you <BR>> did it correctly.
