Today’s short story research saw me investigating motorcycle stunts, mining explosives, Che Guevara and submarine torpedoes! can’t see how I can possibly fail with this one!

I know nothing about motorcycles, mining explosives or submarine torpedoes but I have met Che Guevara’s daughter.

Boom? BOOM!
A friend worked as powder monkey in a big open cut mine. He got to pour Anfo down boreholes from a petrol pump style nozzle attached to a 20+ tonne truck. His first blast left the rubble in a neat pyramid intersecting the working face. The manager asked him if it was intentional. He responded by asking if he wanted steps on the next one.
Downside of the job… the only human not in an airconditioned cab was the guy holding the explosives trucks hose and pouring explosives into hole after hole in 55C heat.

I’m scared to research explosives on the internet. There’s something about typing “home made bomb ingredients” into Google that makes me wonder if I’m being quietly added to some home-grown terrorist list at ASIO HQ :p

so true... but I actually applied to join ASIO at a low point in my younger life so I guess they're already reading my blog!

I'll pass the link to Rob, although if he doesn't know of it already, I'll eat my Easter bonnet!
