Pretty sure that your cooking breaks a few international treaties.

Mushroom cloud out of a Texas fertilizer plant. Multiple casualties likely.

That's just horrible. It reminds me of nuclear war. I pray for any victims afflicted by the explosion.

Yep. There's obviously speculation of foul play, but I find it unlikely and almost certainly a coincidence that it comes after the Boston bombings.
(but that's for another thread if someone wants one)

Yup, fertilizers have immense explosive power..... apparently "Every house within about four blocks is blown apart." :blink: (although this is far from the only one - an explosion on a cargo ship in Texas in the 1940s killed 1000+ people)
Also see this explosion in 1988 on a plant in Nevada that produced SRB propellant for the Shuttle and Titan rockets:

Yep. My money's on Ammonium Nitrate in plastic containers. Once the plastic catchs fire, it can melt the nearby containers. Then, molten plastic mixes with the fertilizer, and hey presto, you've got an ANFO equivalent. And any Mythbusters fan can tell you how big of a boom that stuff makes...

Especially given that the place seems to have caught fire first and then exploded. If someone had intended to blow the place to smithereens, they wouldn't have lit a fire that might or might not be noticed before it spread and set off a tank of ammonium nitrate, they would have planted a bomb that would have set the tank off without warning.

Only a few? When I start to cook, Greenpeace gathers below my kitchen window!

"EPA Decides to Limit Rocket Fuel in Drinking Water"
No more oxygen or hydrogen in water?
Only six parts of hydrogen per parts of oxygen allowed.

Well, somebody's got to do something about that pesky dihydrogen monoxide...

"Literally twice as many hydrogen atoms as there are oxygen atoms."

Very hilarious, especially if you know basic facts about the early days of Microsoft, Apple, Commodore, etc. and understand that the details here are intentionally hilariously fictitious.
It's about movie-length, 79 minutes.

It's not exactly SFW, but not that bad.

I don't mind rocket *exhaust* in my drinking water. Having free H2 dissolved could get a bit too exciting for me, though.

OK, so why is the show "Archer" rated MA? Because (and it may be just my opinion) I don't think that mature people would find the show to be all that funny.
Me, on the other hand, I think I almost laughed myself into an aneurysm. Seriously, I laughed myself into a headache so bad that it hurts to blink even. I couldn't breath for nearly two whole minutes I was laughing so hard. Then I had to "rewind" so I could see what I missed.

Ok, now I'm going to have to check it out...
