#1 These guys were obviously at the low end of the militant gene pool. After eliminating themselves, the average IQ of the palestinian militants was probably raised by about 0.00000000000000000000001%

#2 Distribute flyers, call before bombing, soon the IDF will require a signature holding them harmless.

#3 Whoever runs Gaza's OSHA has got to update their regulations covering ammunation storage facilities. It doesn't seem like they've incorporated best practices.

#4 Re "Ammunation" in my comment above - clearly I've been spending too much time playing Grand Theft Auto. I meant "ammunition," of course.

#5 So let me get this right. If I light a match and throw it into gasoline, it will catch on fire.

#6 Not sure, it can somtimes burn out by itself when "soaked" by the gas IIRC, without lighting it; gas vapors are killer, on the other hand, light up with a static spark. And we all know that paleos love to sniff gas vapors.

#7 PR, there are two limits to consider when considering a vapor in a state to be ignited. They are the lower explosive limit (LEL) and the upper explosive limit (Uel). If there is not enough vapor in the atmosphere it will not ignir. Conversley, if there is too much vapor and not enough oxygen it will not ignite. The LEL of gasolene is VERY low. If you struck a match and threw it towards some liquid gasolene the LEL just above the surface is enough to ignite. If some how it didn't ignite and hit the liquid gasolene it would not ignite. No O2. That scenario is highly unlikely.
