How to Build a Pykrete Bong - Pykrete is an incredible substance that has the strength of something like concrete and the malleability of ice, plus it melts verrrrrry sloooooowwwwly. Some of you might recall a WW2 story about Louis Mountbatten chucking a lump of pykrete at Winston Churchill's knob in the bath. Here's how to make a bong out of it. Pykrete, not Winston's knob.

In other news, I am so hanging out for a smoke, that I am actually dreaming about it.

  • I'm not into bonging (even though Canabis use it not that illegal here) but that Pykrete stuff is mighty interesting. And I had never heard of it. Thanks!
  • I had vaguely thought of posting: On the Occasion of the Passing of the Ashes of Dr. HS Thompson into the Colorado Night Sky, but somehow I think it's appropriate enough for here.
  • What, no embedded img?
  • peacay, perhaps your link would go well in this thread. Just a thought... Having never heard of pykrete, I find this simply amazing. Pykrete, not the bong or Winston's knob.
  • Thanks sugarmilktea. I just opened up MoFi and saw this and................now posted it as suggested.
  • Forget the pykrete. Make a bong out of firepaste.
  • Double wow for that linkage bernockle (the video was quite amazing). Methinks that a bong made from pykrete coated with fire paste would have curious properties...
  • could said bong be fashioned after Churchill's knob?
  • Chill, Winston.
  • Your search - churchill's knob - did not match any documents. Suggestions: - Make sure all words are spelled correctly. - Try different keywords. - Try more general keywords. - Stop being a weirdo.
  • So, if I formed a bullet out of Pykrete... Hmmm, ever since "Mythbusters" failed in an attempt to successfully shot a bullet made of ice, I've had to re-think plans. But now, my plans for world domination just may continue. 1) steal underwear 2) make Pykrete munitions 3) World Domination!
  • You're not searching hard enough.
  • Chill, Winston. /collapse
  • It's been rumored I was fashioned after Churchill's knob, but actually it was Jimmy Carter's. A Pykrete bong might sound "cool" or "far out" to you kids raised on video games and TV dinners, but ceramic is the way to go if you want your bong to last. If you want your smoke cooled, drop in some ice cubes. Werd.
