I threw a rock at an old 25" TV Console and it blew out the back of the TV
- ripped the wood off the back and demolished everything inside. Glass
everywhere.

But what's odd - when I upgraded my Asteroids picture tube, I was carrying
the old picture tube out to the curb for recycling and it slpped out of my
hands and hit the ground. I turned around to avoid being nailed by a huge
explosion and it didn't do much of anything. I'm not even sure I could
tell the difference between a bunch of glass breaking and this
implosion. I didn't even get hit..
