Well, it will be more secure.  For half a tire revolution, anyway.

Seems like a theoretical way to reduce back pressure in suppressors.

If you like that kind of stuff, look up "laminar flow".  I cannot explain the theory of it but you can have two liquids of different content or color going down the same pipe or tube and they keep their separation and do not mix.  One stream inside the other.  Cool stuff.  Something like this..........

Empirical observation; the Reynolds number, a dimensionless (unitless) number, predicts laminar, non-mixing parallel flow versus turbulent flow in a circular cross section. If I remember, it is density x velocity x fluid velocity / viscosity. As I recall, a Reynolds number value greater that ~2300 predicts turbulent flow, where everything is mixed during flow in a pipe. Doesn’t work at very small scales, though.

The controller working a busy pattern told the 727 on downwind to make  
 a  360.  The pilot of the 727 complained, "Do you know it costs us two
  thousand  dollars to make a 180 in this airplane?"
 
  Without missing a beat, the controller replied, "Roger, give me four
  thousand dollars' worth."
   
  Southwest was following United, taxiing out for departure.  Southwest
  called    the tower and said "Tower, this is United 586.  We've got a
  little  problem, so go ahead and let Southwest go first."
 
  The tower promptly cleared Southwest for takeoff before United had a
  chance to object to the impersonation.
 

 
  A DC-10 had an exceedingly long landing rollout after landing with his
  approach speed just a little too high...
 
  San Jose Tower: "American 751 Heavy, turn right at the end, if able.  
  If not able, take the Guadalupe exit off of Highway 101 back to the
   airport.

 Tower: "United 702, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure on 124.7"
  United 702: "Tower, United 702 switching to Departure... by the way, as  
 we lifted off we saw some kind of dead animal on the far end of the  
 runway."
 
  Tower: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure on
  124.7...did you copy the report from United?"
 
  Continental 635: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff... and yes, we
  copied
  United, and we've already notified our caterers."

I found several albino tadpoles in my backyard last year. Gulf Coast Toads.

If I had been quicker about removing the eggs, I could have cashed out pretty well, but my Koi ate them before I could set up an enclosure to hatch the eggs. *note all of the white eggs to the left of the tadpole. There were many more not pictured here. I managed to collect 9 and raise them to toadlettes.

An unidentified corporal from the US Army's 30th Infantry Division (based in the San Francisco Presidio) stands at attention with a group of women in two-piece bathing costumes, doughboy helmets, and heels, each of whom holds an M1917 Enfield rifle, on a parade ground in Camp George Derby, on the grounds of the California Pacific International Exposition in Balboa Park, San Diego California, mid to late 1935. Mostly obscured behind the women is the entrance to the expo's so-called 'Indian Village.' (Photo by Interim Archives/Getty Images)

The local Army Ammunition Plant uses something like that for bomb storage, although ww2 airplane storage also works.
