Back in my undergrad days, we used to buy tins of the welding stuff, and
spend a lot of time and effort grinding it to a powder.  Sounds like we
could have just waited for this EMOX stuff to come on the market.

Now, whatever you do, don't go out and buy any of this EMOX, but if you
do buy any, you're not supposed to mix it with icing sugar, and please
don't package the resulting substance in any cardboard tubes, and only a
complete stroke would light the fuse of the resulting firework.  There. 
Now you've been warned.  ;-)

Great wreck.  Did you see the Comet too?
