If they guy sells bombs to the military, I am quite sure anyone listening to his call can find this out..... eventually. If they guy uses the word bomb on a cellphone in an airport, he is not thinking clearly. |

Many Americans ARE profoundly ignorant - but, Hatunen - I'd not have

Coke is made from coal. Coke is the residual left after distallation of volatile materials from organic materials including coal and petroleum.

For instance: http://www.merriam-webster.com/cgi-b...ionary&va=coke From someone who is most familiar with petroleum derived coke. You've sent me on a google search and I see that coke can indeed be made from petroleum, although the word usually applies to a product made from coal. Wikipedia mentions petroluem-based coke almost in passing and raises a couple of questions in my mind that I don't think I'll pursue. Being raised in a steel town, I would obviously be most familiar with coal coke. I stand re-educated. -- ************* DAVE HATUNEN ) ************* * Tucson Arizona, out where the cacti grow * * My typos & mispellings are intentional copyright traps * |
