I don't know what I would be thinking after something like this blew up in my hand.

 

[Admin]

It's amazing what a little bit of pressurized gun powder can do. [shock]

Holy Shit

DAMN!
Gotta watch those hand loads!

Overcharge? Undercharge? Does it really matter?

Overcharge? Undercharge? Does it really matter?

No, because both will cause something like this to happen.

I don't know what I would be thinking after something like this blew up in my hand.

I do... "Sh'ma Yisroel, Adonai Eloheynu, Adonai Echad".

Freely translated, it's hebrew for "Thank G-d!"

 

[Cross-X]

Thank goodness it happened to someone else.

One Kb in my life is more than enough.

As is one AD, or maybe two or three...

[lol] [lol]

Not quite the correct translation but close enough for gov't work!

My sentiments exactly. I had my KB last fall.

Well, if you want to get precise... "Hear O Israel: the Lord our G-d, the Lord is One." If there is one prayer that a Jew will say, this is it.

 

[Cross-X]

Is it blasphemy to discuss G-d in a pucker factor thread?

 

[dwarven1]

Not at all... especially if you're commenting that the first reaction on blowing up a .44 Magnum in your hands would be to thank God that you weren't hurt.

As for blasphemy... here's how I feel about it:
"Of all the strange "crimes" that human beings have legislated out of nothing, "blasphemy" is the most amazing -- with "obscenity" and "indecent exposure" fighting it out for second and third place."

From the Notebooks of Lazarus Long.

 

[Cross-X]

Uhh, Dwarven1, Lazarus Long is a mythical person.

 

[dwarven1]

Well, actually he's fictional. But Robert Heinlein is not, and anyway... I happen to agree with the sentiment.

Ever read any other sci-fi? (Rhetorical mode was on)

 

[dwarven1]

*ignore rhetorical mode*

Sure! David Drake, David Weber, SM Stirling, Harry Turtledove, Wm Forstchen, Keith Laumer, Walter Hunt... want me to go on? I Only have two walls full of SF in my library... if you don't count the collection of Analog/Astounding that goes back to 1939.

They just don't the wonderful "soundbites" that Heinlein has.

KB?

Very loose translation. Even more appropriate if you figure that you may have finally managed to remove yourself from the gene pool.

Ka-Boom (dont'cha just love it?)

 

[C-pher]

Ahhh, now I get it.

 

[Lynne]

Cripes...I bet that caused an adreneline rush....and maybe even a change of underwear.

 

[Cross-X]

One has to wonder just how much gunpowder was stuffed into that cartridge case, and whether it was something other than pistol powder.


Derek, is any of your C-4 missing?

 

[Admin]

I used the last of it last week to take out the retaining walls in New Orleans. Well that's what they are telling me on Leftist minority radio. [shock]

 

[Cross-X]

Silly me, I thought you were shaping it into a special "toy" for Hillary!

 

[Admin]

There isnt enough batteries in the world to power that thing! [twisted]

True, but they only have to make a spark once, no?

 

[dwarven1]

Will C-4 explode if it's frozen down to absolute zero?
