How does chlorine help? I mean sure if it gets into your eyes, it's not nice, but aside from gettign a rash, can it be fatal?

Quite.

The Nazis used chlorine gas in some of their extermination camps.

Pekka may be thinking of sodium hypochlorite, the stuff they put in swimmingpools.

**Pekka** · February 22, 2007, 05:50

Well, it's just that if you're going to spread liquid with an explosion like that, that won't contaminate stuff any further, I just don't see how that would be effective.

Would someone please explain to the AP what "dirty" weapons are? Last I checked, "dirty" weapons were explosives laced with radioactive material and chemical weapons were, well, chemical weapons not radioactive weapons.

Yes, if anything with their capacity to clean swimming pools, this is a clean attack, not a dirty one.

Chemical weapons and radiological bombs (aka "dirty" bombs) are weapons of terror, meant to terrorize civilians and demoralize armies. Chemical weapons were very much effective in the trenches of WWI.

Chlorine gas is a liquid?

**Pekka** · February 22, 2007, 09:22

Oh so it's gas.. ? Ok. Sorry, I thought it was something liquid.

**KrazyHorse** · February 22, 2007, 09:25

Under pressure in a tanker or a cylinder it's a liquid. When released it becomes a gas.

**Pekka** · February 22, 2007, 09:27

Ok. Thanks, didn't know that. Learned something new today

. That's only fair, since I skipped the day at work, because I think they suck, and because I can.

**ZEE** · February 22, 2007, 09:29

good reason Pekka!

**Pekka** · February 22, 2007, 09:36

I'm still getting paid the same amount. And there's nothing I could have done today, since I've completed the tasks that I can do right now, so I'm just waiting. I figure I can wait at home just as good, the difference is, I'll save some money if I'm home, plus I'm much more relaxed and happier. This benefits me and my employer.

So.. it's not like I'm going to feel guilty about it. Other people can just go ahead and trap themselves feeling guilty. They can stick their protestant work ethic to their collective anus, and waste their time sitting and staring the wall. I'd rather go home and watch a movie or something. Then of course if you're paid by the hour.. well, that would suck

.

What can I say, I like my free time. Sleep late, get out early, that's my motto. Just get the job done though.

very true Pekka!

if you havent got your health... you havent got ANYTHING

Hmm... Was The Iran Iraq war simply a figment of collective imagination that never happened?
