I wish I could know what the ingredients were

I want to know what the ingredients are without getting a useless answer.

I'm almost positive explodium is involved somewhere in the shunt process. Klatu Barada Nikto.

Hi Lafonda J ...

You sure got some useless answers ... especially that one from Wales which no one in Canada can understand as it's not metric.

Now Trent's Explodium is a macro synergistic tertiary compound often found in plating shops in New Guinea. Look it up in Google. He could have been more informative but it looks like he prefers girls.

Try mixing some sodium chlorate with red phosphorus with a tad of carbon ... this will prevent you from asking questions like this as you will blow yourself up. I did try this myself (one teaspoonful) and haven't been the same since.

Freeman, if yew woz at the uther side of Canada, yew'd be abel to tell me wot "yeuronne" means. But being at the less civilized side...

And Sheldon, we really do need these occasional silly threads for a bit of a laugh -- it's a long time now since the iridium rice-pulling coins were discussed.

OK - I've left it long enough, and I apologise for wasting anyones time attempting translation.
"Pas d'elle yeuronne que nous" has watersport connection viz:(Paddles and Canoes!)
English attempt at humour I'm afraid.

OK, good one! I only read the line, didn't say it out loud, so missed the point. Bloody slow Aussie colonial!

I'll be careful of your next post!

Cheers from down under.

To Ozonian Bill,

That 'yeuronne' thing really nothing more than a French version of the English ...YOU ARE ON ... which one would expect from a toilet repairer, SORRY, shiP repairer from the area that Drake played with his bowls.

There you have it, Bill, from the Western side of Can-ah-da. And I wouldn't dare pick a fight with the Aussies whose English is cane-toad perfect.
