Didn't see the wood burning kit in there. Now that was a great idea. :tsktsk:

Lol, creepy crawlers. I used to have one of those, never burned myself though.

What about those Wham’O Supper Balls (the old black one’s)?
I’ve would have loved to seen a couple of B-52’s filled up to the max with those suckers and dropped from 30k feet onto a city.
OMG! They would bouncing (in bits and peaces) for years!

Don't forget the slip and slide ... a few kids apparently slid too far to the side and gouged themselves on the plastic lawn-stakes.
Also, I noticed this last Halloween that superman-looking costumes had a warning on the side: "Please do not attempt to fly while wearing costume." I can only imagine what incidents prompted them to add that.

Those things are just too funny, the kids these days only get wuss toys it seems... :ebil:

I'd have thought it really neat to have the radioactivity kit.
Tim got a chemistry set from my in-laws, complete with little alcohol lamp. We're going to have so much fun!
The magnets thing is serious though, because they're small and easy for toddlers to eat. My sister-in-law is close friends with a couple whose toddler died from eating two and having his intestines twisted when they clamped together. It's much easier to tell a six year old to stand clear of the lawn darts than to prevent toddlers from eating odd things they find.

Those Johnny Reb Cannons were the shit! I busted the cannon off the platform so it was easier to carry and hide, and let me tell you, a ping-pong ball at ten feet from one of those fuckers would leave a welt on your forehead that would last all day.

Wow, what are the odds? That's the scary thing about infant mortality. With all due respect, no parent ever expects something like that to happen to him/her.

As those of you with kids know, they can hurt themselves on anything. I've seen a 2 year old try to poke his eye out with a crayon, gag himself on a DVD remote, and smash his finger in a Fisher Price dump truck. Toys are all instruments of death in disguise - you just have to know how to work them. :devil:
