It's also known they can explode with a force equivalent to 1g of military grade explosives if a lightning storm strikes nearby and they emit a high pitched sound that can make certain tribes in South America go partially deaf.

take a hard boiled egg.
Soak in vinegar for three days
Stand a milk bottle in ver hot water
place egg in mouth of milk bottle
As the air in the bottle cools, the egg will be sucked in
when it dries out the shell will become brittle

it works with little clipper ships a well.
