Dynamite Dissection TV Front

[Note: No dynamite was used in this Dynamite Dissection. Do not attempt to do anything like this on your own.]

Nice job Vinny! You should turn this into your science teacher! Maybe he will give you extra credit for getting it posted on this site. Hang in there kid, high school gets even harder.
