http://dic.academic.ru/dic.nsf/enwiki/4656 Dynamite is predominantly used in the mining, quarrying, and construction industries and has had historical use in warfare, but its unstable nature, especially if subjected to freezing, has rendered it obsolete for modern military use. Dynamite has been replaced for combat purposes by military dynamite, a mixture of TNT, RDX, inert binders and anti-freeze agents. Military dynamite has approximately 60% of the strength of nitroglycerin-based, commercial dynamite. While not technically dynamite, it is called this as a slang term. [Army TM 9-1300-214, p. 8-135.]

So, "miliatry dynamite" is not dynamite
At the end of WWI, some people celebrated with it....?!?!?
Planes used Dynamite as early bombs: just strap a few together, light 'em, and chuck 'em over the side.
Also, as I said before, they were used as early gernades
I added some pages to the site, and a link to the Dynamite page, which has links to different sub categories. Its just something to start us off.
I wasn't quite sure how to create folders to put the pages into but like i said its just a start.
Site looks awesome btw. The links look great, i guess we need to gete everything together tonight. I can't make it to the library till class time cause i have class before

Topic ideas: revolver (led to modern weaponry?), toilet paper, dynamite (led to nukes?), telegraph (led to internet?); one of these maybe?

As an AE, I'd be pumped about using the airplane (~1903?) it's pretty important in my opinion.
