Right. Just don't try to put it out with a hammer.


WIMP!!! ;-)

What does C4/semtex look like?

I remember white cubes which were provided as the fuel for a
kid's model steam engine. I never knew what they were, and no longer
have the steam engine, so it does not matter -- but could something like
semetex have actually been provided with a toy back in the early 1950s?

Enjoy,
