I believe I have hit upon the greatest possible way to retaliate against the other halls in our weekly water wars. The plan is fairly simple, although multi-fold. First, I need to obtain a snake.  It must be of decent length, no grass snakes, at least 3-4 feet long. (note: rattlers are not acceptable, as they're rattling motion will through off any trajectory calculations I make(you'll see why in a bit))
   Next I need a large amount of baking soda, which I shall proceed to stuff the still-living snake with. Then, I take a small round balloon full of vinegar and place it in the snake's mouth. Finally, this entire thing combination is placed in one of those long ovally looking balloons, probably a really big one.
   All that is left is to pick a target, and then hurl the snake-balloon at him. If my theory is correct, upon impact the snake will wrap several times around the person you targeted, and then the oval balloon will pop. This should surprise the snake enough to make him bite down on the vinegar balloon, bursting it and propelling the liquid down his throat. Now, anyone who has every made a volcano model or played with one of those Cap'n Crunch submarine's knows that vinegar and baking soda react to form a rapidly expanding amount of foam. This chemical reaction will immediately begin to take place within the snake, and since, as we all learned in elementary school biology when we saw pictures of pythons swallowing pigs whole, snakes can stretch their bodies as needed, this snake will begin to grow at a rapid rate, due to the large amount of foam within him.
   Okay, maybe I've never personally experienced this phenomenon, but I imagine it would rather perturb the snake. This snake's becoming giant, and it's really pissed off, so it's going to just start eating people all around it. I figure it'll get at least 3-5 guys down it's throat before it will reach a point of maximum stretchiness, at which it will explode, showering all surrounding people with snake guts and nasty smelling foam. The best part is since snakes eat their prey live, the few guys it consumed won't actually be dead, so there can be no legal ramifications against us whatsoever. This is sheer brilliance, and it should crush all of our enemies before us swiftly, and cause the lamentation of their women.
To the Matt Cave!
