#1 Good to see most of the missiles are landing on target...

#4 The problem is sugar/KNO3 propellents aren't storable. They have a real problem of absorbing moisture form the air.

#5 Pretty damn good average for halfwit sociopathic Paleo nutters I'd say.

#6 On the slight chance that these savages didn't know just how many of their rockets are landing short, perhaps this should have been kept quiet?

#7 "So, they make mistakes and have fired from areas out of range of Israeli territory."

I ain't standin' around waitin' for no damn heli-zapping counter battery fire!

#8 They don't know which direction Israel is. Okay. Who's gonna tell 'em they point their pointy little heads in the wrong direction at prayer times? These mooks are priceless and inept beyond words.

#9 We'll, it's really the fault of the Jooooos. If they wouldn't shoot back when fired upon, the Palestinians wouldn't be so nervous and could aim better.

I nominate the Palestinians for a group Darwin award.

#10 This must have happened AFTER the No-Dung engineers went to chow.

Sugar + potassium nitrate? You are joking, right, bruce? 'Cause KNO3 + [non-sugar]sweetener is the backbone of toothpaste for sensitive teeth.

#12 Please Ms. Trailing Wife don't attempt to fire off your tube. Rocket motor building is best left to experts. I fear many young folk in Gaza will lose eye-balls and digits while trying to save a few shekels (than's Jew money) on rocket motors. It is wise to buy from an old established firm.

#13 Mr. Estes, I wouldn't dream of actually making such a thing -- Daddy was Haganah's pet biochemist before 1948, and that's quite enough of a donation from my gene line. And the shekels are Israeli currency; Israel's Arab citizens are permitted to use it, too.

#14 Yup, they call it sugar baby or rocket candy. Just sugar and pottasium nitrate making this involves melting the ingredients and mixing. As you might expect this can lead to work accidents. Now the palis have figured out how to do this cold process using gasoline or kerosine to make a slurry. Think October Sky when they went to get moonshine.
Now us rocket people like stuff that blows up real good too, but we do keep an eye out for people that don't fit the mold so to speak. See: http://www.vatsaas.org/rtv/misc/aftclosure.aspx for a case where the bad guys contacyed some rocket geeks for help. Ny guess is the IDF converted some of these folks to catfood.

#15 the ultimate downfall of the Paleo deathcult - we import attys who sue for damages to their clients' houses, properties, etc.

:-)

I can dream...

#16 Fascinating, bruce. Thanks for the info! I hereby do solemnly swear not to mix Crest/Sensitive with sugar in my kitchen sink. ;-)

#17 I thought soccer was un-Islamic. They seem to be shooting a lot of own-goals.
