Environmentally-Friendly Explosives
Great news everybody! Now you can blow stuff up and shoot people without hurting the environment. Courtesy of Disocery.com:
Bullets, detonators for mining, and other explosives release pollutants, so to solve this problem, scientists have created four new explosive compounds that they claim are “green” and “environmentally friendly.”
The new explosives, which can generate the first detonation in guns and other devices, could resolve a nearly four-centuries-old problem.
[…] “Energetic scientists have been trying to solve this long-term problem because toxic mercury and/or lead contaminates the environment and causes harmful effects to human beings.”
What the hell…? If your job is to essentially unleash destruction why pussyfoot around with it? If you’re really worried about causing “harmful effects to human beings,” here’s an idea for you: STOP FUCKING MAKING EXPLOSIVES AND BULLETS, DIPSHIT!

Umm, what about building demolition? I don’t mind them doing that a little cleaner. You know what they say, every little bit helps.

Is this going to be the hot new thing for 4th of July? Ecologically sound fireworks?
As far as blowing up Iraqis goes, the govmt won’t pay for ‘green’ xplosives. They like their depleted uranium too much.
