BULLSHIT - this applies to any gas containing any amount of oxygen in
the steel cylinder with salt water, but nice attempt at misleading
everyone, but then how would salt water get into anyting but a breathing
cyliner? You guys are amazing. I do not know how I ever learned anything
in this game. Is there some arguement against correct information out
there that I do not know about, like in "Planet of the Apes"?
