Your handle instills fear in me ;) For real!

Isn't boric acid the stuff that will replace the current pressure treated wood? I heard it will be much more expensive than the ptw we now use--and we go through a lot of that stuff in a wood home with a wrap around deck in sunny Florida.

Americans are just too danged friendly. If I saw a couple of ragheads filling up a diesel powered truck with unleaded gasoline, I wouldn't say a word. At least not to them. If these yahoos stay on the interstate system then they will soon be found.You're an eeeeevil man. Good.
To: Mulder
And we're supposed to be afraid of these bastards?Well, some of the 911 hijackers pulled some dumb stunts, too, and they were very successful.
The fact this truck has expired Canadian plates (they never would have gotten across the border with expired plates) indicates the truck has been sitting, unused and hidden in this country for a while.
Unexpired plates suggest something has been brewing for a while and the truck not used. Semis are expensive to insure, license and drive and are very visible. This truck has been in this country, unused, for a while.
The fact the authorities have already traced the plate and have a basic ID on the vehicle indicates they probably know just where it came from and who owns it. The cops are worried and trying to track it down. Obviously, the company who owns it has no idea where it is going or what it is up to.
The fact these guys tried to put unleaded in a diesel truck indicates they aren't your "usual" truck drivers. They are up to something, using a large vehicle which they have never driven (or gassed) before.
The fact there are two men of similar ignorance and purpose suggests some sort of conspiracy, not somebody out for a "test drive" or doing legitimate trucking with a commercial vehicle (this is apparently not a rental).
These two men are apparently Middle-Eastern and are unfamiliar with American trucks, yet are driving one along an Interstate.
The fact this is a semi means this truck can hold an awful lot of something.
If this were merely a hijacked truck with "hot" cargo, the truck and cargo probably would have been long separated and the contents sold. The truck would have either been abandoned or destroyed. Instead, they're driving it around, heading someplace, long after it has been apparently stolen.
Colorado is a long way from Quebec.
There are simply too many things that make you go 'hmmmmm...' to give warm fuzzies here, especially with an advanced state of Alert.

about a gallon of gas in a hundred fifty gallon diesel tank and the truck will run like a corvette right up to the point the pistons shoot through the hood!

diborane, B2H6Also VERY toxic. Don't know how to describe the odor, except that it smells like copper tastes.

I can't remember off the top of my head what chemicals are used but something can be used in molotov cocktails that will cause them to ignite upon the bottle breaking and exposure to air without resorting to a lit wick.I do remember. No I'm not posting it. No boric acid in that recipe, though...
To: Mulder
And we're supposed to be afraid of these bastards?Ummm Yes! It's like, um, totally, you know, embarassing, to, ummm, get like, killed by an idiot, dude...
To: null and void
Yeah,I know what you mean.
I still can't remember offhand and it would only take a minute to look it up but some info is best not broadcast too widely.
I'm going to wait at least till Monday to peak in a book,just to see if it pops back into my mind so I won't feel quite so slow if I can recall without help.:0)
To: Cindy
Sorry, Cindy, I reread the posts and I still don't understand your concern. Boric acid is a common and innocuous chemical. If you're referring to the "inhalation hazard" bit, then yes, it's hazardous, but by the same definition, so is lime.
To: finish9
If boron assorbs neutrons then could the stolen boric stuff be used to suround a nuclear device thus to avoid detection?

"You filler up while I go into the mini-mart for some snacks" says Muhammad.
"Which hose should I use?" asks Achmed.
"Either one, it doesn't matter..."
So Achmed grabs a hose and reaches for the camel's tail.......

IIRC the people of Paris had pharmacists making the wickless cocktails for them when they fought the Germans in the streets.
To: Free Trapper
Yes, and they were pouring out wine bottles for the gasoline. Horrors! They hate the Germans to this day because of that...

Americans are just too danged friendly. If I saw a couple of ragheads filling up a diesel powered truck with unleaded gasoline, Not very smart.

With WHITE men and Chief Moosebrain diligently on their trail... What a maroon.
To: null and void
Gee whiz, folks. Didn't you people take general chem in high school and college? PHOSPHORUS. There are two varieties: white and red. The white kind is the one which ignites on contact with air. This is not top secret info, it's first-level high school chemistry.
