Destructive little rascal wasn't you. 
I would think you could jam a match head or two under the prong and then throw it on the concrete sidewalk or on the street so it hit on the prong end and set it off.

You to? One of my buddies had some hydrogen sulphide in a perfume bottle in his locker. Late for class one day he jerked his locker door open and the bottle fell on the floor and broke. They had to close that whole wing of the school down for a day. He came near getting expelled.

Yeah we got a kick out of it and I think he did to. It sounds like caps when it goes off. If you dribbled it close together it was almost like a machine gun chattering.

I made some hydrogen sulphide 2 years ago. I guy at work said he and his father would go hunting together. He and his dad would try to out fluctuate each other. He would always lose. I made him some hydrogen sulphide. I gave it to him at work. While waiting in the crowed line at the parts counter, he decided to open the jar just a little. He cleared the line. The people behind the counter ran and the offices around the corner cleared out. He thought he was going to be in big trouble. So he grab his gut and said sorry, "I couldn't help myself." He took off to the mens room and tried to keep from laughing. The next trip with his dad, HE WON!
BE CAREFUL. Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) can be a deadly gas. I work in the oil industry where it is feared and respected.
<li>0.0047 ppm is the recognition threshold, the concentration at which 50% of humans can detect the characteristic rotten egg odor of hydrogen sulfide. </li>
<li>10-20 ppm is the borderline concentration for eye irritation.
50-100 ppm leads to eye damage. </li>
<li>At 150-250 ppm the olfactory nerve is paralyzed after a few inhalations, and the sense of smell disappears, often together with awareness of danger. </li>
<li>320-530 ppm leads to pulmonary edema with the possibility of death. </li>
<li>530-1000 ppm causes strong stimulation of the central nervous system and rapid breathing, leading to loss of breathing;
800 ppm is the lethal concentration for 50% of humans for 5 minutes exposition (LC50). </li>
<li> Concentrations over 1000 ppm cause immediate collapse with loss of breathing, even after inhalation of a single breath.</li>

Health Effects: Hydrogen Sulphide is a potent chemical asphyxiant, combining with haemoglobin and with cytochromes and thus rapidly stopping oxygen from access to cellular metabolism (just like gases such as carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide). Indeed H2S is arguably as toxic as Hydrogen Cyanide HCN. Hydrogen Sulphide is very foul smelling but very quickly paralyses the sense of smell, and can go on to overcome the victim and eventually cause death. Therefore smell cannot be relied upon to provide warnings of this treacherous gas.
Hydrogen Sulphide is also an irritant of mucous membranes including the eyes and respiratory tract.<hr>

Rechecked my notes. It was ammonium sulfide I made.

Yeah we cleared a few places out with that stuff. If a bunch of us went to a movie and there were no seats one of us would find a single seat and then uncork the HS and instantly three rows of seats would be cleared. 
I completely emptied a malt shop one night, waitresses and all.

We used the diluted version not the knockout version. You can sniff gasoline and lose your sense of smell.

Isn't H2S what they lace natural gas with so you can detect it or is it something else?

They add a mercaptan or a similar sulfur-based compound. It comes in a 55 gallon drum. 1 drop will stink upp a whole room. I know aguy who took some home and poured it down some gopher holes then left with his family. They came back a few hours later and the road was blocked with fire trucks. Seems a lot of neighbors called in a natural gas smell and the gas company was out trying to find it. My buddy turned around and left. They never could find the smell. They called it stinko.

Carbide Cannons are cool. My dad made one with plans from Popular Mechanics. KABOOM..
