This really depends on whether you are on propane or natural gas.

At :54 in that video, the Beretta Cougar .40 shown, is actually a gas airsoft pistol. Tokyo Marui. I owned one as well as an M14 AEG, since I thought it was kinda neat to own airsoft that matched my real guns.

A man in Germany is possibly one of the world's strangest "murderers". He took out an internet ad looking for someone willing to be butchered and eaten. He got one. The victim suggested cutting off and sharing his penis before being killed, and they tried it. Then he was killed, and some 40 pounds eaten before the killer was caught. German law enforcement couldn't figure out if a crime was committed, since the victim was a willing participant.


Then Rammstein wrote a song about it.

Nerves can regenerate as long as the myelin sheath is still intact after the impingment is removed. For a complete sever, it is possible, but improbable that the nerve will regenerate.

If you drop a 9mm round into the chamber of a .40 caliber pistol, the round will get lodged in the chamber. You will have to invert the pistol and beat on the muzzle with the palm of your hand until the round falls out.

I've been kept in a coma under a mixture of several drugs, one of them being Propofol. I experienced horrifying dreams and hallucinations, and was told later that this is known as ICU Psychosis. I was also told it can be mitigated by being put under with the drugs administered in a certain sequence. I don't know if that part is true, but yeah, you can sure as shit dream under General Anesthesia.

In orbit, you must speed up in order to slow down, and slow down in order to speed up!

Imagine being in a spacecraft in the same orbit as another spacecraft, but a few miles behind it. If you wish to catch up and rendezvous with it you must decelarate to bring your spacecraft into a lower, fasterorbit. When you have caught up, you must accelerate to match speed with the target spacecraft.
