=Now, let me expose you to a blow torch. It's only hot gas, right?

Hell, expose him to a fuel/air bomb using 2 gallons of gasoline as the fuel.
It's only gas, and has about as much energy as the flywheels under discussion.

unless what I'm saying is directly related to VAX/VMS, don't hold me or my

hold me responsible for it, but my organization had nothing to do with it.
