Now.. I have told you how I knew it was a fake.. Can you tell me how I did it?
Oh, fun! A couple of guesses.

1. The time on the bomb was later than the time on the TV.
2. The chief is not an idiot and would not have been playing with a real bomb.
3. My dad and uncle once blew up a beaver dam that was flooding our farm. My uncle was in the highway bridge building business so was familiar with how to use/handle dynamite. I don't recall the word "Dynamite" being on the sticks, though they were red. He also stressed not to ever handle it without gloves as it is highly toxic and will be absorbed through the skin.

But likely I have not guessed right, something to do with the lousy TV picture?
