[at-l] Implosions and smoking mice

[Cosmo.A.Catalano@xxxxxxxxxxxx (cosmo catalano, jr.)]

A well known (in my circle anyway) use of mothballs is to enhance the
pyrotechnics used in movie explosions.  To get the really neat
black-smoke-with-the-red-fireball-effect, pyro techs typically put in
a container full of mothballs in the Hefty bag of gasoline they
ignite for this type of effect.  Not only will it crisp the mice, but
it can also knock down a stadium (well not really, but it does look
pretty cool).
