the accidental bombmaker

Things I brought to the recycling centre, probably causing speculation among the staff regarding my life choices:

1 rusty car exhaust pipe

10 injection needles (most of them used)

2 tiny capsules of butane gas

1 packet of painkillers

miscellaneous small electronic gadgets

I had just been clearing out some old junk at home. But while driving to the centre, I visualised a scenario where the ancient gas capsules exploded, turning the injection needles into deadly shrapnel, and wondered if anyone would believe that I hadn't actually intended to build a bomb.
