I have always wanted to play with mercury, but it was too big to fit in my pocket.

I recall reading how beryllium was getting banned in electronics for military--if a bullet hit the electronic gear that had beryllium in it, it could release toxic dust. I guess that dust is worse than the bullet.No Silicon Heaven? Preposterous! Where would all the calculators go?

So, how did the tank crews respond? They made sure never to be stopped for more than 5 minutes unless they were parking at the end of the exercise. That meant they were constantly running, spewing forth diesel fumes!The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostI don't know if they still do it, but when the Abrams tanks first started operating at Fort Hood in Waco, the tank crew would have to put sheets of plywood under the tank to catch any oil spills. If the tank was going to be stationary for more than 5 minutes, they had to "deploy the retention apparatus".
