Fourie claimed it was unlikely to kill but would "definitely blind" the assailant. In South Africa, it is legal to use lethal force in self-defence if in fear of one's life,[1] and ownership of flamethrowers is unrestricted.

One year, while security guards were posted around the goat in order to prevent further vandalism, the temperature dropped far below zero. As the guards ducked into a nearby restaurant to escape the cold, the vandals struck.[14]

Fat men's clubs were a type of social club that peaked in popularity from the late 19th to early 20th centuries, primarily in the United States. Membership was typically limited to men weighing over 200 lb (91 kg), and members were generally quite wealthy as well. Fat men's clubs declined in the 20th century as male obesity transitioned to being perceived as a primarily negative trait.

they still use diamorphine (ie heroin) as a painkiller in the uk in hospitals. my grandmother used to be a nurse and asks for it after surgeries (hip and knees) since she says it works better than the other stuff they give you

With a toxicity of about 1/10 that of VX, i.e. similar to that of sarin,[1] it is now considered too dangerous for use in agriculture

I'm actually really curious about the history of Amiton/Team/VG. It was apparently initially marketed as a pesticide but then withdrawn from sale due to how dangerous it was. But what exactly happened, was any actually sold and used by farmers or whatever? When did it get re-evaluated? Was there an inviting incident?

Here's the intro to the article on Sarin, which is apparently similarly dangerous to something ICI was trying to sell as a commercial product


quote:

Sarin (NATO designation GB [short for G-series, "B"]) is an extremely toxic synthetic organophosphorus compound.[4] A colourless, odourless liquid, it is used as a chemical weapon due to its extreme potency as a nerve agent. Exposure is lethal even at very low concentrations, where death can occur within one to ten minutes after direct inhalation of a lethal dose,[5][6] due to suffocation from respiratory paralysis, unless antidotes are quickly administered.[4] People who absorb a non-lethal dose and do not receive immediate medical treatment may suffer permanent neurological damage.

the g-series agents were developed out of pesticide research; they turned out to be effective against targets somewhat larger than originally envisioned.

look that's just how things worked in the post-war years. there was all this awesome wartime research that was starting to be broadly available and by god it was gonna be used for something. sometimes that meant strapping yourself to a rocket sled, or making popcorn with a radar dish, and sometimes it meant gassing fields with nerve agents to get rid of bugs and probably gophers and rats too as a bonus
