Journal BlackHat's Journal: I may be accused/ Of bein' confused

Quote:
It is commonly imagined that the introduction of hot water, hot air, and steam pipes, as a means of heating buildings, cuts off one avenue of danger from fire. This is an error. Iron pipes, often heated up to 400, are placed in close contact with floors and skirting-boards, supported by slight diagonal props of wood, which a much lower degree of heat will suffice to ignite. The circular rim supporting a still at the Apothecaries' Hall, which was used in the preparation of some medicament that required a temperature of 300, was found not long ago to have charred a circle at least a quarter of an inch deep in the wood beneath it, in less than six months. Mr. Braidwood, in his evidence before a Committee of the House of Lords in 1846, stated that it was his belief that by long exposure to heat, not much exceeding that of boiling, water, or 212, timber is brought into such a condition that it will fire without the application of a light. The time during which this process of desiccation goes on, until it ends in spontaneous combustion, is, he thinks, from eight to ten years--so that a fire might be hatching in a man's premises during the whole of his lease without making any sign!

News at 300
Das Blinkin Lites Is Blikin Now?

Bluff? 12000 page bluff, and endless reports to UN? White House is spaz'ing. Leaking!?! Try dribbling!

Rods We got rods! Not news. They had already said as much with previous reports. That would be minimum for limited test series and couple of field ready units.

Stability. A few mines, but mostly stable(byproducts).

USA. ICC. Cuts and cutting remarks.

Space ship earth. As in the 2000 cult or some kind of spliterists.

Flames Old-School style from Simon Hoggart.

'ultra-rightwing Bush' Airman, Cowboy, hmmm, don't think I've seen that one. Anyway it's redundant.

Annan not happy with Role in Iraq. Hell I'm still waiting. Poppyseed!

What is it budget time again? 1936 all over again? Trains vs BuzzBombs sounds like a failed cartridge game from the 80's.

Texttoon:
Crayon on paper : A wobbly childstyle drawing of a forklift. It is lifting a large box filled with red hearts and purple brains. In flipped and odd size letters on the side of the box is written; "Iraqi Hearts and Minds"
