Sadly the answer is probably not as much as you'd like. A few bore holes and just a tiny bit would no doubt do the job. Wasn't there a MythBuster's episode where they re-created the water-in-a-safe + explosives to "crack" it ? I'm thinking T.H.E. Binz might be better off enlisted a squad of UDE rock bass. I mean they must be called rock bass for a reason !? Perhaps they could be enlisted to peck away at the rocks Then it's all due to "nature" and he couldn't be blamed. Until then I' thinking the old Chlorox bottle(s) on a string is a legal alternative.
