Awesome, next time i want revenge on someone i`ll just send a hitman-plummer to "rig" they`re water heater! Hopefully they live in cheap californian houses so it`ll blow the place to bits - although if it`s concrete and brick it`ll do more damage on the inside....
Hmm... choices...

The cool part is I go sailing right by there all the time. What I would have done to been out on my boat watching those guys do this. Also they are doing a show at my school I have no idea what they are going to be doing. But, I know it will be awsome.
