  One of my favorites was 2 or 3 litre plastic bottles, or the big gallon
plastic water bottles, filled with water.  Wrap a gallon bottle with duct
tape or something like that to strengthen it - wrap it well, everywhere
except the bottom.  Make sure it's sitting on a flat surface.  Hit it with
a hollow point.  The expended energy ruptures the bottom of the bottle
as the tape keeps the integrity of the sides and top, making it fly *way*
up in the air.  Can be pretty spectacular and fun :)
