One of the guys in the room brought it up to me, I thought he was talking about it being static until I touched it. I have gotten nipped at by 120v AC a couple times before, you can feel the voltage oscillation.

Well claystone is still a rock and could easily be chewed up, if you felt like it. Also, chewing it is the best way to determine the difference between claystone and siltstone in the field, because the hydrated phyllosilicates that make up claystone will crumble, but the 1/32nd of a mm framework silicates that make up siltstone will crunch between your back teeth. Anyway. Have a saw stop filmed at 19,000 frames per second and witness how it stops so god drat fast that the hardened steel teeth break off the blade. https://giant.gfycat.com/MarvelousFineEchidna.mp4

Here's some poo poo you don't see every day. Undetonated commercial explosives found by tourists in bushland near Norseman, Western Australia quote:Trekking down a tourist trail 20 kilometres outside Norseman, in Western Australia's Goldfields region, a couple were shocked to find explosives scattered around the area where they had stopped for lunch.

I am reminded of a cool tug.quote:Near the mouths of the intake channels of Old River Control, the Corps maintains another towboat, smaller than the Mississippi but no less powerful—a vessel on duty twenty-four hours a day and not equipped with white couches, wall-to-wall windows, or venetian blinds—the name of which is Kent. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1987/02/23/atchafalaya

Imagine if those pathetic forklifts could move like tugboats. You're standing there in the building materials aisle, trying to decide if you really want marginally-B-grade plywood, or if OSB will do for your man-cave bar. You hear a slight hum in the distance, closing. Suddenly, at the end of the aisle, you see it: a forklift. "It's okay," you think, "It's just passing by, it hasn't seen me." The forklift continues to zip past the aisle, but just before it disappears behind the end cap, it suddenly stops. Before you can fully process what's happening, it reverses, shrieking out its horrific hunting call, "BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP." Still, it's not looking down the aisle, so it hasn't seen you. You begin to sweat. In part because you still haven't decided between the plywood and OSB, but mostly because you've heard tales of what a true forkfuckler can do. And then it happens: the forklift begins to move in a most unnatural way, it simply begins...sliding, sideways, directly down the aisle toward you. There was no warning, no way to tell where it was going, until it was too late. As the forks snag pallet after pallet from the high grade yet poorly assembled warehouse shelving, it begins to list, its rear ballast section dipping below the surface of the freshly mopped concrete floor. This doesn't seem to bother the forklift, in fact, it only seems to enhance the determined slide toward you, as you stand, paralyzed with fear. At the last second, without a single change in trajectory or speed, the forklift begins to spin to face you, its polished teeth, each nearly as long as a man is tall, glinting in the insufficient lighting. "This is it, this is the end," you think to yourself, unable to even voice the words aloud. " At least it'll be a quick death." Without warning, the forklift halts directly in front of you, its macabre dance nearly at an end. Without pretense or ado, the forkfuckler steps down from his ghastly chariot, his company branded vest mocking you. Eyes devoid of life, he asks, "Need any help with that?" as if you have any say in your destiny now. "I'll take a sheet of the 3/4-inch B grade, thanks"
