Got warts and a Q-Tip?


Bev speaks from experience. Witches have long known how to remove
facial warts with liquid nitrogen.

Yeah no worries...I'm experienced around the N2. *It's all good.
Alan's explanation makes sense. *Thanks !

That brings back memories of some of the liquid N2 battles
we had. Plastic gloves filled with LN2 at 20 paces. :-)

Yeah we like to torture the CS-guy in our lab with LN2 filled glove-
bombs under his chair. *We feel fine morally given his stubborn desire
to never take a shower, trim his beard or use deodorants.-


You feel fine morally playing stupid games with anyone who isn't in a
position to kick your ass.

I work in a lot of computer rooms and the fire suppressant system is
Halon gas. I mentioned to someone that if they used nitrogen it would
be much cheaper. Nitrogen is cheaper, readily available and will
extinguish flames just as easily. It's inert and completely safe and
of course, harmless to the environment. Most people don't even
realize that 70% of the air we breathe is nitrogen.

Anyways this whacko tells me that in an electrical fire NO2 is
produced. Well DUH it's going to happen anyways if you use halon. So
he says that we shouldn't be putting more NO2 into the air. So I
asked him if he realizes that nitrogen is run through the car engines
of every vehicle on the planet and they are producing NO2. He said he
did and that's why we shouldn't put out more.

That's the way those whacko environmentalists think. To them it's more
important that NO2 doesn't get in the air than people die in a fire.

Vote for Palin-Brown in 2012. Repeal the nightmares.


This signature is now the ultimate
power in the universe
