"Horseshoes should be removed to minimize dangerous flying debris."
"Use more explosives than shown in the examples on large animals like moose, especially if total obliteration is desired."

Wasn't this a metal band/album/song?
What are you doing next weekend? Let me know if you want to stop by and blow stuff up. For free. I can't let you make them or handle them, but you can watch at very close range.
I'll be there from Friday to Sunday; the best airport to fly in to is Lewiston, Idaho. Saturday is the best day for free-form blowing things up. lmk
You left out the most important detail: would he need to bring his own moose carcass or is that gratis?
He would need to supply the carcass, but I find everyone has a particular old laptop or computer they would like to see evaporate.
Should this ever become of more than academic interest, note that there is an error. 1 pound is not, not, NOT the same as 45 kg. That kind of thing sorta matters when you're dealing with explosives. :-)
It says .45 kilograms.
There are 2 mentions of 1 lb to kg conversion, and the second one is missing the decimal.
Oh, in the link, not the image. A rather important difference that you might have specified.
Really?
Who reads the link when the image clearly tells the whole story?
Welcome to Slashdot.
There is a leading decimal point, but not alas a leading zero. Still, we can hope that those dealing with explosives are careful readers.
You say that like you DON'T want someone to unwittingly strap 100x the needed explosives to a dead moose.
It *is* given .45 kilograms the first time, but the second time it's given as 45 kilograms.
This is going to be less fun once someone invents a disintegrator ray gun.
Ah, uncompressible waterbags atop explosives. That reminds me of explosive forming of satellite dishes.
I'd never heard of that before, cool!
It's probably a good thing I have no access to explosives.
Previously
Yep.
I suppose I should've used that link instead, yeah. I knew I got it here. :)
I believe the "Previously" you are all looking for is: http://www.jwz.org/blog/2009/12/exploding-whale-never-forget/
Please note the "Never Forget".
I'm not sure if it is a good thing that the didn't illustrate the obvious, by shoving dynamite up the rhetorical horse's ass. I'm personally glad that I have no real-world experience with detonating dead things, so I must say I don't know if that is an optimal method. But I'm sure, in the history of detonating carcasses, it has been tried, and explaining why it is suboptimal (even if it is just mental health care insurance rates) would reduce the wonder.
Maybe that is on the page for managers.
Blaster Examiner sounds like a pretty awesome job.
Beat me to it.
