Okay, if nobody else is gonna do it, I'll snag post #11777. It's purdy.

<<Nitrogen iodide is not nice, docile stuff like, say, old dynamite.>> Docile you say? I tried to ride that somma bitch and he broke my arm and several ribs. Oh, sticks of dynamite. The old stuff sweats nitro so only handle it if you have angina. A normal guy will have a headache and maybe a heart attack. Did some blasting with C4. You can shoot the stuff with a .22 and it won't go off. There is a guy around here that did 4 tours in Nam as a Green Beret demolition specialist and then went mercinary for 20 years. Now he gets called in on the tough jobs. Ok, you talked me into it, a story about John the Green Beret. He was hired to level a concrete grain silo. He put explosives here and there. The old farmers who were watching thought the silo would go to the moon. John climbed up and sat on it and kablam. Smoke cleared and nothing had changed, he climbed down, drove an endloader over and tapped the silo with the bucket. It crumbled into equal sized, easy to handle gravel.
