Wow, about time! It's been the leading cause of death among humans for thousands of years. Animals, too, although I understand fish aren't negatively affected by it.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

We should soak Thermite in it then use an aluminium-base charge to ignite it.

In theory, it'd work like something between a flash-bang and an atomised particle explosion.

Old.  Understand that this is so old, I know about it and think it's old.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

IIRC this was old even before I started using the net.

Hell, it probably even pre-dates Mik's having-the-net-ness.

Still funny though, reminds of when I sold some 'dehydrated water' to a 'friend' of mine so he could go camping ;)
Well, it takes up less space that way! ;)

Indeed. It actually predates the Internet by three decades.

A master plan, kode! The only problem is, you can't exactly drink it without some dihydrogen-monoxide and live to tell the tale :sigh:
Maybe we are stuck with it.

The dihydrogen monoxide hoax is old, but the article about a town in California actually trying to ban it is quite new. From yesterday, in fact, according to the date on the website.
