Funny, I thought the Turkish army was more a butch kind of army. I want my empire back. say... didn't you invent those padded footstools, too? Yeah, combining the words "foot" and "stool" just seemed so *wrong*. It reminds me of mowing a lawn that's been heavily mined by dogs... The worst part about owning a dog up North was the spring thaw. At least down here in Carolina, the bacteria don't take a winter vacation, even if they do get a tad lethargic. --oTTo-- Has no need for fertilizer |

Our lawn in Raleigh had a good deal of Mica in the soil. It was in a layer
about 2' down, but the cut for the basement exposed a lot on the north side of the house. It then became incorporated in the topsoil there. At times of the day, direct sunlight would beam between a gap in the roofline- creating a sunbeam between two shadows. I noticed when mowing that the air "sparkled" in the sunbeam, and it was again apparent when mowing at night, using headlights. The mica particles were so fine and light that they drifted around much longer than ordinary dust or dried clippings- they almost seemed to "float" in the air for long after I would have finished mowing and disturbing them. Months ago, during the Anthrax terrorism, I read an article somewhere that stated Anthrax needed an aerosol-type of carrier to be an effective weapon. As I recall, the article mentioned some finely milled clay as the dispersal agent. To me, that's nuts, since clay "wets" easily and clumps. I always thought that Anthrax, milled with mica, would be far more effective than Anthrax milled with any type of clay. To this day, I always wondered if the "clay" article was some disinformation put out to possibly stop somebody from using something else. -- Tom Gauldin, Las Vegas NV NEW EMAIL NEW PHONE (702) 263-8804 voice/fax "Otto Bahn" wrote in message ...

The men in dark suits and aviator sun glasses will be over to see you shortly. We recommend your full cooperation as to the "welding accident" which burnt down your house and your subsequent move to Las Vegas. In other news, maybe anthrax doesn't stick to mica very well. You are, apparently, still alive....Or maybe it does stick well, hence the fire. Hmmm, I see several hours of interrogation for you. Do you think a mere concidence explains the shape of this paragraph??? --oTTo-- Because symmetry is sexy, don't you think? |

To this day, I always wondered if the "clay" article was some disinformation put out to possibly stop somebody from using something else I wouldn't put it past the US government to spread a little disinformation during the post-wtc terrorist paranoia. Remember this is the government that is instructing people on how to survive a bioweapon attack (about as effective as the old duck-and-cover technique - its only good if your on the edge of the attack and know its coming). The US gov uses just as much propaganda as any other. Clay wouldn't be too bad a dispersial medium under ideal conditions, very dry air and fine grains, but no terrorists likely to use it in those conditions. Anyway, anthrax isn't as nasty as the media portray it. Its very hard to produce, and then direct contact with the spores is required to be infected. Of course, with a little TB and a few petri dishes you can easily enough make the perfect superbug, an almost untreatable highly infectious and deadly disease. But keeping it under control would be a problem. Perfect if you just want to cause mass chaos or blackmail the government, but not much good for anything else. |

Plus, you need to inhale about 2000 spores to get the full blown disease. I figure those spores must be really, really tiny, and a lot of postal workers probably have immunity now.
