Bean Bomb

Ricardo, a local Austin artist, described something to me he calls a bean bomb.  In his childhood, these were homemade devices kids hurled at annoying grown-ups.  Or maybe he was the only one throwing them– I’m not sure. 

Regardless, to make a bean bomb, you must put poop in a mason jar.  A bean is planted in the poop, and when the bean gets all sprouty, the bomb is ready to be tossed, preferably at Christians.  I am unclear on the purpose of the bean other than to give the bomb its name, but really, “poop bomb” sounds fine to me.

Also, although the jar fills with methane, the gas is not ignited prior to throwing.  It is possible that the bean bomb ignites itself upon smashing, but I think it is more likely that the bean bomb is just an elaborate way to fling poo.
