The only thing I need to know, or want to know is: will it blow up real good?

11. If a firecracker has a quick fuse, and you fail to throw it prior to explosion, your hand will feel like Dave Grohl's hand in the Everlong video.

"Researchers in Austria examined snow after a New Year's Eve fireworks display and noted "exorbitant concentrations" of barium, potassium, strontium and iron. However, the contamination did not appear to last and cleared with the next snowfall. You have to wonder, though, whether the pollutants just didn't migrate to another environment, such as rivers and streams."

The solution to pollution is dilution.

The lesson here: don't breathe the smoke from fireworks, especially the orange ones.
