    Sweet Jesus, a mere child. I was fresh out of the Navy, and was fixing to rip the world a new one. Then it ripped me a new one.

    I'm going to guess no, since I've got a daughter his age and another daughter 5 years older than him.:confused:

    Speaking of that, have they made much technological advances since the beginning of Time ?
    Didn't you say that the first one's only made a pop noise instead of a boom ?
    Called them firepoofers instead of firecrackers ?

    @stwik , I think it was you asking about how RGNs actually work. These pictures show my neck.

    The first picture shows the big eyes and pins that you slide over when re-attaching, as well as the pivot shaft that runs horizontally just above the big eyes.

    Second picture shows the rams that push against the deck.

    Third shows that the rams push the piece inside the neck frame against the neck.

    The picture below shows that pivot pin and the locking pin to prevent things from coming apart.

    I forgot to get a good picture of the dogs that hold the deck height, but in the second picture you can see another shaft running horizontally just under the end of the rams. Once you have the deck lifted you rotate that shaft such that the dogs encounter the inner frame work, and then let the load rest against the dogs.

    The manufacturers have a variety of ways to accomplish this, but in general all of the hydraulic detach RGNs work in a similar fashion.

    You were so excited and happy with that high tech advance they made on your 200th birthday, adding that stick taped to the side so it took off into the sky before blowing up.
    So much safer.
    It's a good thing you were still evolving into the human form you have now.
    Evolution is a good thing.
    Especially when you had blown off 25 fingers before you learned to let go after lighting it. Luckily they all grew back.
