Im wondering if anyone can help... Im doing a science course on the effect of dynamite when inserted up a Gerbals back passage and detonated...
I have to find out whether or not its head would remain intact..
Has anyone tried this and did it ????
I have tried this experiment twice as directed, but cant find any heads anywhere in the feild i used...I know it might seem like cheating, but im getting desperate and i really need the remaining three Gerbils for other experiments. Is anyone willing to help me out on this one.... ???

UMM.
You are sick. I hope you're joking.
I can't believe you were allowed to do such inhumane animal testing. Loser.

first of all you didnt even say the quantity of dynamite your using, so there is no way to even estimate the results without knowing the gerbal size and amount of explosives used..
second of all it would be very hard to detonate such a small amount because the detonator would be about the size of the gerbals ***..
if your allowed to put in a quantity large enough so as to tear the rectum of the gerbal... then i have no idea, because the quantity you could then use would range from just blowing up the gerbils ***.. to completely vaprizing the entire gerbal.
so there is no way anyone can give you an answer without knowing the amount of dynamite, and preferably the depth of insertion, and the size and weight of the gerbal as well.
i would say over 1-2 grams and the "head" (skull) would likely fragment. this is of course assuming you have complete detonation.

first off i must say you must be one sick person to waste dynamite in such a fashion.
however to keep the head in tact i have found that if you fashion a ping pong ball into the shape of a full face helmet and place this over the gerbils head retaining the newly made helmet with some sticky back plastic(aka blue peter) this normally keeps the head in one piece and should allow your experiment to succeed. Additional precaution would be to also attach the end of a piece of cotton from a reel of cotton to the helmet and hold the reel in your hand. If the head then flies off follow the cotton to the head.
SO I HAVE HEARD

I haven't tried it or heard about it before, and I doubt most other people on the Internet have either. All I can say is it would probably depend on the amount and purity of the dynamite used, and on what sort of obstacle if any was positioned just in front of the gerbil at the time of the explosion.

My friends frequently used the gerbilator for experiments.
An actually intact skull is pretty much not going to happen, regardless of the explosive used.
At best you might manage an intact upper skull section, with some fur and muscle - but I've never heard of a case in which the entire head remained intact.
Sorry,

to retain the gerbils head durin this experiment you must insert the gerbil into the back passage of a homosexual as they like a good bang and a gerbil up the behind then sift through the wreckage later for the remains.

maybe you can do a double experiment....take the gerbil with the dynamite up his back passage and then put them both up your "back passage" with the fuse hanging out just enough...have an assistant light it for you and see whats left.. HA! joking...don't get mad...
To Mae below, this is obviously a joke, if you can take it don't post it.

Do you know why they are called Gerbals? It's from when you do this experiment and all their Gerbal-ets come out!!!! Only Joking.... Honest.

your problem seems to be collection of the evidence. Have you tried to carry out the experiment in some sort of containment vessel? Perhaps you could use your car or kitchen oven?

I had the same problem when I tried it but I Was eventually able to locate about four of the thirteen heads but They were all like head fragments...good luck to you though! Thanks for your very important contribution to science!
