Here's a more straight-up question to get some fun answers out of you all: there's a TV that's going to be thrown out. What would you use to destroy it? Preferably on the safe side, but I guess it all can't be too safe. We might just throw a cinderblock into it and record it.

Drop a watermelon onto the screen from a suffcient height to destroy both, if need be you can drill a hole into the melon and fill in some steel shot to add destructive weight.

Great slo-mo footage to be had.

If it's an old tube type be very careful.

They're vacuum tubes and explode with far more energy than you'd ever expect. Sending glass flying everywhere.

That said, post a vid!

Well, a cinderblock isn't that great of an idea. Fail!

Fill the bathtub with water and get in. Have a friend toss in a hair dryer on high. Get some vid.

It was thrown down some stairs, actually. Not as high as the Sears Tower:
