Matchstick Rockets - Make little rockets out of matches, paper clips, and other household items.
I remember doing this a few years back. The instructions were part of a paper airplane book I had purchased at the time. I tell you, what a load of fun!
The sound that they make as you launch them at your best friend...and the screaming that follows...priceless.
Heh. It reminds me of the matchstick airplanes, powered by common houseflies glued to the wings.
Ahhh, many a late night in high school was spent sitting in my friend's room and launching these things out of his window. Sometimes we'd try to kick them up a notch by emptying out firecrackers and adding a little of that gunpowder into them.
Wolof, that's a link I hadn't seen before. But it's got it all, pretty much.
