Ouch you turn in to the incredible hulk, you mean you swell up and turn green... Remind me not to upset you, deliberately or otherwise.

The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy excellent book, I love it.

I want one to, but make mine a extra large prescription please...

Wow merciless, I'm thankful lucky I got the forgiving side of you Suze.

Just finished Brandon Sanderson The Well of Ascension, Mistborn series book 2. Now starting The way of Kings Part two, also by Brandon Sanderson.

You are tied and helpless, the finger enters your line of sight then leaves it heading down your body. You feel it press gentle against your throat, into your Adams apple. Slowly the pressure increases restricting your breathing harder and harder the finger presses into you, you can no longer breath, then you feel something in you snap, the cartilage, known as you adams apple has snaps just before you loose consciousness and die...

Yup very true

You won't see them or even smell them the are colourless and oderless, and you won't even hear any explosions as the are destroyed by what is called a high order detenation.

Actually no we don't there is a non proliferation treaty signed by almost all of the world governments, to ban research, development or stock piling lethal chemical weapons. (note the term Lethal) Unfortunately it doesn't require the destruction of chemical weapons that are already stock piled. Actually chemical weapons are worse than nuclear weapons.

That wasn't the original intent, it was designed for and originally used for insects. It's mans twisted mind that turned it to other uses.

Suze, the scientist who invented it sold it world wide and was used by most governments as an effective tool for getting rid of lice. As I remember rightly the company directors who made it were charged with crimes against humanity and were given a death penalty, they should have used there product on them, but they hung them instead.

Todays letter Z.

Zyjlon B, a cyanide based pesticide developed in the 1920's by a german scientist. It was used infamously in the German gas chambers for both the Auschwitz-Birkenau and Majdanek extermination camps during the holocaust of WWII. It was a powder that reacts when it comes in contact with water. It is said that death could take up to 20 min from initial exposure, but at least 1/3 died almost immediately, depending on there proximity to the vent.

LOL they wouldn't cause the same damage today, although you might get a severe headache.

Todays letter is Y.

Yo Yo, It is a Tagalog word, the native language of the Philippines, and means "come back". The design was larger and heavier than todays Yo Yo and the rope was considerably longer. It was used for hunting and as a weapon from the 1400's. For hunting it was thrown at the animals legs to tangle them. As a weapon it was either dropped or thrown on an enemies head.

Are you going to visit my realatives I think they are in every zoo in the world... LOL

Todays letter is X.

Xiphos is a double edged single handed sword used by the ancient Greeks, it was a secondary battlefield weapon after the spear or javelin. According to Stones glossary, the name xiphos apparently means something in the way of "penetrating light. The leaf shaped design lent its self to cutting and thrusting.

Oh I don't know I was thinking about it, lol. It's just intresting looking things up and sharing...

Todays letter is W.

White phosphorus, also known as WP, Willie pete, and Fenian Fire. First purposely manufactured by the British Army in grenade form in 1916. White phosphorus grenades were especially valued in Vietnam for destroying Viet Cong tunnel complexes as they would burn up all oxygen and suffocate the enemy soldiers sheltering inside.

Todays Letter is V.

Vickers Medium machine gun, is a name primarily used to refer to the British water cooled .303 machine gun produced by Vickers limited for the British Army. The weapon had a reputation for great solidity and reliability. Ian V. Hogg, in Weapons & War Machines, describes an action that took place in August 1916, during which the British Army's 100th Company of the Machine Gun Corps fired their ten Vickers guns continuously for twelve hours. Using 100 new barrels, they fired a million rounds without a single failure. "It was this absolute foolproof reliability which endeared the Vickers to every British soldier who ever fired one.
