I lol-ed

Would have been cheaper to give him an N64 and this...

I want the world to end in nucular apocalypse.

"I watch MythBusters and they inspired me to blow a building up," said Maxwell Hinton of Fresno, Calif.

Did they air that episode on TV, where they shot a cannon ball and it ended up destroying somebody's home?

Sure hope the terrorists don't have access to Mythbusters.

Great article and sentiment, but I caught a sad knowing that seven year old knew what "neuroblastoma" was.

OK, that's pretty frikkin' awesome.

Umm, I have cancer. I mean I'm pretty sure I have cancer. Most people have cancerous cells in them at any given time, they just die off before they can cause any trouble. So can I blow up a building too?

Well, I guess it was just a matter of time before they started granting wishes for Muslim kids now.

Time to rev up the indefinite detention military machine to round up all the donors.

Warthog: This is terrific. You've got a happy kid blowing stuff up, and at the end of the video the said he's now cancer free! How cool is that? Is there anything high explosives can't do?

As the size of an explosion increases, the number of scenarios it cannot solve approaches zero.

One problem; they likely just violated federal and state laws.

A co-worker/driller that I worked with had something "similar" happen years back. His father/uncles owned a large blasting company in New Jersey and they let him set off a shot to take down a smoke stack. Picture of him doing it made the paper.

Next day, the state called about a fine for it. ATF had a few questions as well, iirc.

Aaaaaaannnnnnd ... boom goes the dynamite.

Make-A-Wish is one of the best charities ever.

People are freaking out over Iran's possible upcoming nuclear weapons program but little do they realize that it's just part of the Make a Wish Foundation for Palestinians.

Also, though those of us at the Pro Cancer Foundation frown upon your petty human mortal shenanigans, we remain smug with the knowledge that cancer is still winning.

don't think they will air that episode and read a funny article that the FBI was checking out Mythbusters in the beginning due to them blowing up stuff

Boom!
Boom!
Boom!

I guess he's not old enough for us to say "...with his penis."

bdub77: Can it be Congress? Please please? And can Congress be in session when it happens?

Soz, Congress sucks, not blows. They suck up taxpayer money moreso every year, regardless of whatever party is in there.

Am I the only one that thinks it's selfish that he used Make-A-Wish then didn't die? There a many kids more dying than this one that could have used that wish!

Is this how 9/11 happened?

jingks: Am I the only one that thinks it's selfish that he used Make-A-Wish then didn't die? There a many kids more dying than this one that could have used that wish!

I know a guy who had gotten his wish through Make A Wish and lived, he nearly died of a brain tumor.

I'd rather have Mr. Bovine Joni himself play for me if I had cancer.

/ Note to self: remember to shave beard if pretending to be bald.

Fail. No, not this Wish coming true, because I think that Make-A-Wish is an awesome organization. What is a Fail is that they did not show footage of the little guy pushing the button!

That's great for him, but sad for the three people still inside the silo.

I've had love for Make-A-Wish since they sent my brother and us to Disney when it was looking like he was going to lose his fight with leukemia. This just renews it.

blow up a building? i'm pretty sure mine would be "2 chicks at the same time"

Wouldn't it be ok if they set it up so in actuality two people had to agree? Give him the hellbox but the wires go through a switch that's held by somebody licensed and he doesn't close his switch until it's ok to shoot.

This video and hearing that is awesome. I hope your brother is still well.

It kicks up alot of dust??

General rule of thumb: surface shots have to be set off by someone with a license, underground shots can be set off by someone designated. No children should have access to explosives or control over them (both state and federal).

CavalierEternal: I take it his wishes of killing an endangered species, like a bald eagle or a giant panda, poisoning a reservoir or throwing flesh-eating fish into a public swimming pool were not granted?

Hard to find Baseketball quotes around the 'tubes, but Fark won't fail you in any reference.
