Happy 4th! Couple of fun links...

This one is a java applet that takes no input... you just load the page and watch.

This one launches fireworks that explode wherever you click your mouse in the applet.

How about a 3rd of july story:

Driving the 20 mile trip to my relatives on the freeway...cruising easy at about 85 in my S4 auto...come up on a Pontiac Grand Prix (one of the supercharged ones)....he's only doing about 75 so I pass on the right....when I get about even with him he accelerates to match me....I slowly ease up to about 100...I hear him stand on it....give him a wave & punch it.....quick downshift to 3rd...BWAAAAAAAAHHHH GONE.... See Ya! Let up at 120....he's way back...let up and a bit later he goes flying by probably at about 110 or so....sounded really bad...must need a tune up...I thought his car was about to blow up! & I never went over 5Krpm! That was fun!!! Great way to start my weekend!
