RE: [JMC_Blue_Dwarf] Re: Don\'t try this at home kids
think of it this way, you have a water gun which on any setting will drill through a human head
a stream 1molocule wide(current) moving at an incoprehendably hich speen will still only
make a one molocule wide hole. the other setting is three inches in diameter yet has a
relativly low amount of power (couple thousand psi) which still puts a three inch hole in your
head. which would you like better?
