well, that stuff's damn right. And I notice he has a piece about flamethrowers too. Now there's a match made in heaven: flamethrowers and stuff. But I know what would happen. I'd buy a flamethrower - top of the range model, of course - and get it home. Spend 10 minutes burning stuff, then get distracted. The flame-thrower would gather dust in the back room for 6 months until one day I notice it again, and move it into the cupboard under the sink, along with all the other stuff.
