Was shown this by a chap at work today, thought it was mildly entertaining and a bit mad.

Fantastic!

When we were little, my brother and i came up with a great idea for a business called 'Dial an Anvil; anvils from the stratosphere'.

Basically, if there was someone you didn't like, you rang up 'dial an anvil', gave the name and address of the person you didn't like, and we would drop an anvil on them (from the stratosphere).

Sadly, it never got past the idea stage, but it was a fucking cracking idea regardless.

That's some impressive height and a nice vertical trajectory, shows how much energy is in the powder, think H&S bods would have something to say about their proximity to it though, can't see you getting a second chance after an anvil lands on you.

I was hoping it would go through the truck.

Think you need some way to let the victim know a few seconds in advance. Just so they can have the look of resignation on their faces just before the ACME anvil hits.

All the best

We kind of figured the whistling of air turbulence would be sufficient - after all, anvils aren't really designed with aerodynamic efficiency in mind.
Ideally, it would be sort of like a doodlebug - you know, a highly audible warning of imminent danger, then a panic inducing silence with the victim(s) never knowing when or where the anvil would actually strike.

Anyway, how did you know we were going to use ACME anvils??

STOP STEALING MY THOUGHTS!!!!one!!!!!eleventy!!!

Hi

Think you would need a well established business before people would assume that the whistling was an anvil heading for them.

And who else would you buy them from other than a A Company the Makes Everything?

All the best

A flawed plan from the start.
The kits would be produced in China.
The instructions (roughly translated) would be indecipherable so the kit would never work properly if at all.

I'd do a few freebies first in very public places, or on a prominent public figure (the rubber lipped, fat tongued mockney ponce Jamie Oliver springs initially to mind), possibly get a colleague to video it and stick it up on YouTube. Obviously, i'd have the company name, phone number and url scrawled on the side of the anvil, word would soon spread.

Hi

Ah, doing some charity work for advertising.

You could possibly attach a streamer with the company details on it to the anvil, so they would be obvious as it fell.

All the best

Keith

This is possibly the most pointless use of an explosive power I have ever seen. Kinda cool though Thumbs Up
