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.

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.
