Watergun v2

I was thinking.

Since water can be manipulated by magnetic fields, would it be possible to create an ice bullet.

I know the mythbusters have done an episode regarding the efficacy of an ice bullet. The bullets either shattered on firing or when they impacted the target, they left behind tell tale signs of gunpowder from the charge.

I was thinking, since water can be manipulated by magnetic fields, would it be possible to create an ice bullet using a railgun or a coilgun? It would solve the sudden impact problem that a traditional explosive charge could cause and it would even even out the the force acting on the projectile, preventing it from cracking or shattering. It would also solve the problem of gunpowder residue.

Granted this "gun" would possibly be too large for any one man to carry by himself (at least with current technology) but hang on. This is the ultimate weapon in a would be assassin's arsenal. Using an entire black ops team(maybe even a crane) to carry the damn thing would be cumbersome but would definitely be worth the effort and risk. Not that I'm condoning assassinations. But imagine if a would-be hitler-esque person were to rise up again in the near future. Bang (or whoosh)! Hitler gone, little to no fallout.

Granted it would be relatively expensive what with the purity of water being important to the integrity of the bullet at possible supersonic speeds and the enormous amounts of energy but it is from massive problems that monumental solutions are found

Food for thought? Or maybe it's already been done.

If i don't post anytime soon, you know what happened. heh.

The woman behind every man

You know what they say? Well it's absolutely true.

There is always a woman behind a man, manipulating him and pulling his strings. I hate these kinds of people. I've seen it happen a few times before. They manipulate everyone to some degree such that everyone thinks like her.

I've working in a current project where this new comer comes in, knowing nothing but the moment that person is ready to stand, he/she comes out fighting. Thinking that he/she fully understands how things work and in fact, how THE WORLD works, I'm inclined to disagree. We literally had to guide this person every step of the way and even as a department head, we were continuously working behind the scenes to cover up her mistakes. I'm pretty sure some bodily fluids were exchanged prior to her appointment as department head.

Is there no justice in this world? Or will it come only in the next.

ps. I'm biased of course and have overly generalised (gender and magnitude) because I was pissed but this post will stand.

A world without terminal velocity

I often (not really but it sounds cooler) wonder what our world would be like if there was no terminal velocity.

Terminal velocity is a phenomena when the upward drag caused by a falling object moving through the air would counter the downward force of gravity to a point where the object simply cannot go any faster.

In a world without terminal velocity, raindrops would be like bullets (or perhaps the curved nature of the droplet form would help dissipate the impact more than I would have thought). A sneeze from a skyscraper could land you in jail for 'intent to cause grievous hurt' or 'terrorism'. Killer litter would seriously be killer litter.

Then I realised, I'm talking about life on the moon. Having no atmosphere, the moon is unable to slow down extra-lunar material to it's terminal velocity because it has no terminal velocity in zero atmosphere.

So I sit back, imagine I'm on the moon and stare towards the sun, picturing Osama in front of me.
