#1 What on earth is a vacuum bomb?

A special kin of weapon that can only kill boys. Surely you've heard of the 'Dyson.'

#6 Three possibles:
(1) It's the exact opposite of a pressure cooker bomb, or
(2) It's a hypobaric bomb (a FAE in an enclosed space), or
(3) It just sucks so much.
Or some combination thereof.
