I Tried to Buy an Actual Barrel of Crude Oil

Holy shit! Even the concept of how it's produced is nuts. The extra links are even better, including the better-than-oxygen oxidizer that burns sand. The whole collection of anything involving flourine is like "let's see just how many people we can kill and things we can destroy without actually doing it." Whole blog is great along with high quality comments.

Thanks for the link and thanks to others for updated links! I'm in process of spamming all kinds of people with them haha. Hmm: need to get a hold of some FOOF that will go poof next 4th of July. :)

Yeah, the chlorine trifluoride is most often the gateway to those articles.

Ended up reading a PDF version of the book, Ignition!, mentioned in that article.

I do wonder if dry wit comes with the profession, btw.
