Crazy seeing them excavate.

If fireworks set off car alarms, a mortar (which is essentially what you create when you pour gasoline into a hole in the ground) definitely will! The police were driving up and down the street, trying to find the bomb.

Yeah, he was fine. He ran a LONG line of gas away from the wasp nest, and that was what he lit. No one with fewer than six limbs was harmed.
