Nice rant. Is that all ! I had prepared my flame-proof undergarments and chainmail overcoat expecting flames&flack from the PC brigade Indeed: you need a small mine with a trembler trigger... I'd settle for a small yours with some plut*&%um and a proximity detector I have toyed with the idea of a petrol vapour (a lá carburettor principle) blower and a remote blue touchpaper device ! Mind you, thinking of oleum in your other post, I have in the past, a long time ago in my youth,,, played with a nitrating mixture of fuming nitric and conc. sulphuric involving tol%^ne. I wont mention the hoped-for product cos it'll set the "watchers" into a tizzy ! ( if they are not already !) |

http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/gnu.htm We used similar stuff for giving fish a bit of a fright as well An initial interest in fireworks led to an interest in colouring them, which led to an interest in spectroscopy which led to an interest in the electron structure of the shells (no not that kind of shell Rusty ! ) of atoms which led all the way to Schrodinger and God playing dice (Einstein - on quantum mechanics). Kids dont have that kind of intro to science and engineering any more,,, ooops, I think I just ranted again I also tried it with a certain trihydric alcohol otherwise used in cake icing, suppositories and to adulterate cheap wines to give them body. Crumbs! I never even contemplated doing that, my hands were never steady enough :-)) Once... I would have thought that once was one more than was wise ! |

The message
from (WaltA) contains these words: I also tried it with a certain trihydric alcohol otherwise used in cake icing, suppositories and to adulterate cheap wines to give them body. Crumbs! I never even contemplated doing that, my hands were never steady enough :-)) Once... I would have thought that once was one more than was wise ! It was done with the help of a pair of fast feet (I was about fourteen or fifteen) and thereafter by remote control. 'Thereafter' isn't a bad word, under the circumstances. -- Rusty Emus to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co full-stop uk http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |
