    Clean synthetic mucus would probably just be a clear gel with a bit of "slimy" tendencies. Hardly any more disgusting than, say, antibiotic ointments are.

    I have a firearm. It serves exactly two purposes:

    1. Sporting enjoyment. I like marksmanship.
    2. Hunting. I've not done it, yet, but I plan to.
    3. The mechanics of it interest me. If I had foundry equipment, I would be smithing.

    I don't have it for any force multiplication or defensive reasons. I hope I don't fall into your generalization as well.

    Not everyone who owns a gun is an idiot. In fact, I'd say it's only the minority that makes themselves known.

    I'll try to be respectful here, but I do have a question: A felon has, by definition, disobeyed the law. What makes you believe they would respect the laws in regards to firearm possession?

    A 30k$ roadside bribe? That's a pretty stupid policeman. That's "shoot me" territory. He should be happy he got away with not getting what he wanted.

    Well, just be careful with it. Especially that last part - phosphine gas is not something you want around.

    Being fat soluble means skin absorption would be high as well, so be careful while handling.

    Out west we had the little black and white guys. Never saw them larger than a pea.

    The way they would track you from across the room (their vision is absurdly sharp) and the little "hand washing" thing they did with their mouth-parts always bothered me though.

    [And people wonder why I went around buying up all the diazinon I could find when it was taken off the market.]

    Don't suppose you ever wondered why it was taken off the market, when killing insects was it's purpose?

    Because diazinon is fat soluble, there is potential for delayed toxicity if significant amounts of diazinon are stored in fatty tissues. Intermediate syndrome generally occurs within 24–96 hours after exposure. Intermediate syndrome in humans is characterized by difficulty breathing and muscular weakness, often in the face neck and proximal limb muscles. Cranial nerve palsies and depressed tendon reflexes have also been reported.

    Diazinon is relatively stable under standard ambient temperature and pressure but is susceptible to form toxic phosphine gas upon heating.
