How Strong

Would you have to be in order to break pcp pipe in half (the plumbing kind)

Its kind of weird question but I have to know.

First off do you mean pvc?? Pcp is a drug not plumbing.

Secondly, what size?? There are many different sizes, some that I could snap without even trying, others that would be very difficult. The length of the pipe will also play a role in the difficulty.

I knew it was one of those... thanks. LOL!

Anyway it was actually just a candy cane type yard decoration made out of pvc... but it was about a good half an inch thick.

If the length was over 18 inches it wouldn't be too bad, the smaller the length the more difficult it would become.

Wow.. then he must be pretty damn strong then.

some monks who study kung fu for years can punch some an inch away from there body and hit them and if there is a brick wall behind punch them through it i think it takes a lot of mental training

this is a funny post about pipes. never knew there was so much conspiracy in them. p.s im not trying to take the mickey i just found this funny

You wouldn't think it was funny if you saw someone break one right in front of you.

What made you think of this? I don't know exactly how strong, but let's make a few assumptions...IE, the pipe is about a quarter of an inch thick, made of hardened plastic...which takes about 500psi of pressure to break (just an assumption). Multiply a quarter of an inch by Pi, and you'll get roughly the amount of psi needed to break the pipe. Maybe I'm a bit off base here, but I think that that's that. Peace.

This is in the paranormal forum.

So are you looking for a way to break it the paranormal way? Like using psychokinetic abilities? No kidding.

Given my size and strength, I would certainly have to use some tool, either mentally or physically, to break a PVC pipe regardless of its size.

If his strength is beyond normal people's then it would be considered paranormal wouldn't it?

You mean, over all these years... that... that... size does matter?

The longer the white pole, the easier it is to snap it?

The thicker your pole is, the harder it is to get a proper grasp?

Man... I'm glad I'm a white guy... no problem gripping or snapping a narrow 6 inch tube!

I do not know what to make of that last post. Was that adult humor or is it just me?

It wasn't a very thick rod... oh man now Im doing it. Sorry I even brought it up. Damn I did it again.

I sure this is the kind of stuff they won't tell you at the hardware store!

If it's curved, it would probably be easier to break too.

And size would matter too. There's less of a chance of missing your mark the bigger it is.

mind over matter

I think you guys were using this pipe to smoke something.
