    Normally, these urges are just whispering, but alcohol gives them the strength to shout over the wall of inhibition (Wow, that's a wierd metaphor.)

    This system for recognizing the shooter would have been useful in 1984. At that time, the Chinese government of Taiwan commited the first and, so far, only successful assassination in the USA [geocities.com]. The actual Chinese who pulled the trigger could not be identified.
    And a photo of him would have helped how, pray tell?

    the "mechanics" (i.e. not by profession) in my family really aren't that hot - they're tinkers.

    the German Zeppelins were by far the safest form of transport at the time.
    Indeed. The RAF (maybe they were still the RFC) had immense trouble getting the buggers to burn during the early part of WWI, and it wasn't through want of trying.

    One Mole of H2 has much less exothermic energy than one Mole of methane or any other hydrocarbon compound.
    Compaqring mole for mole is hardly a fair comparison, after all a mole of h2 is - what - a seventh, an eighth of the mass of a mole of CH4.
