#1 I remember reading about old-time dynamite "sweating" and becoming more unstable. Anybody know if the more modern stuff (or at least 1968-vintage) is more improved?

#4 Good thing she didn't hit the box hard with her shovel.

The consequences would have been explosive.

Cue the rim shot!

#5 Dar,

Dynomite, even the modern and infinitely safer variety in use today (As opposed to ol'Al Nobel's original recipe) still can 'sweat' under the right temperature and humidity conditions. Most dynamite has been replaced by Dynagel (there's about a dozen different names for it) - looks for all the world like a blue raspberry freezer pop, but with considerably more punch.
