It's a real shame that Darwin wasn't born on the Fourth of July. It would have been so appropriate.

I once screamed like a little girl and fell over backwards trying to avoid a fireworks shell coming right towards me, but wasn't smart enough to give up fireworks in consequence.

"Munitions Dump" is a promising name for a firework, I think, although most of the others don't appeal to me. In general, I like either the names promising vast destructive potential (Munitions Dump, Krakatoa, Cone of Tragedy) or the traditional oriental style names (Peach Blossom, Dancing Flowers, Snowflakes in Spring). I also tend to like the 'hybrid' names: Cherry Blossoms of Flaming Death, etc...
