Amazing!

Steel on concrete = sparks.

Sparks + gasoline vapor = Boom!

Ever see chains draging on the road at night?

I even get nice sparks cleaning my pizza stone (piece of unglazed tile)
with a hand wire brush.

My neighbor tried pouring gasoline on grease inside of his garage, then
leaving it to soak for a couple of hours, then went to work on it with a
wire brush.

The resulting explosion blew him through the garage door and demolished the
garage an set fire to the house.  It was the most exciting thing that
happened in the neighborhood since my other neighbor caught his tie in the
garage door opener.

He came through it pretty much ok, a spiral arm fracture and the loss of all
the hair on his head.

He has since become a regular at church.

Vert at the speed limit, driving in the right lane, passing to the left.
Still ticket free after all these years
