Traces:

No the munitions expert that I had from the west showed me the crystals on old shells and said hit that and it will give you a shock. - Like blow a finger off. White crystals.

Imagine the Roman Candle they could have had on the houseboat. CF sitting up to his chin in a sunk boat. At least it would be well anchored to the lake bed.


Reminds me of the poor guy in a NSW bank who was sitting at his desk and someone on a floor above made a mistake with a nail gun and put one nail clean through his skull into the chair he was sitting on. Dead at his desk.

Shock for the staff. (It is not an urban myth it occured in Newcaslte about 10 years ago - made the papers). I was looking at the bank the other day when I revisited Newcastle Australia.
