Robert Mason, a material scientist, will show little clay pots from 12th century Middle East but he is not sure whether they were bongs or bombs.
In the show he took a replica pot to a head shop where an employee proved they could be used to smoke hash.
Which, of course, leads us to Part B of this little adventure...
He also did an experiment that proved they could be used as grenades. “This could be thrown at someone. It could take off the head of a dozen people standing around with shrapnel,” Mason said.
Uh... Dave's really not here, man.
