Unfortunately, it was created to satisfy the needs of the military for a weapon so awesome it would frighten the axis powers into surrendering in World War II.  After the war was over, since the genie could not be stuffed back into its bottle, science found peaceful uses, such as atomic power plants and nuclear medicine.  Now we even have such things as an atomic clock, which uses the breakdown of a radioactive material to keep time very precisely.  I hope more peaceful uses continue to be found, such as powering spaceships to go exploring.

Conventional glass used in window panes and drinking glasses and soda bottles is likely soda glass.  Glass that is etched or carved or formed into crystal glass objects likely contains lead (perhaps even 40% lead).  Wine should not be stored in leaded crystal decanters because of possible lead poisoning but use for an elegant dinner (then pour leftover back into bottle?) may be OK.

Here is a very nice world war 2 weapons site. The site is divided into sections (rifles, machine guns etc..) for every major nation involved. It even shows a picture of the weapon discussed

It depends on the country and the antique. Many countries prohibit the export of objects regarded as national treasures, usually very old artifacts. Their value is not the issue, the age of the item is. The scarcity of similar items is also considered.

This comes from the fact that the military prison at Aldershot (opened in 1856) had a glass roof. The term subsequently passed into general usage for military prisons, notably Colchester.\n\nSee this link: -\n\nhttp://www.hants.gov.uk/museum/aldershot/faq/glasshouse.html

If you consider that volcanoes can create glass, probably the first people to use glass lived in caves.  They may have noticed that when something shattered glass (a falling rock?) it left sharp edges good for spearpoints, cutting tools and for scraping flest from pelts.  However they lived pre-history and left few records except debry where the lived.  Glass definitly predated the wheel.  It even predated history tests <G>.

I am sorry that you miss the heads! last I heard, they sent them to mexico. I guess they use them like they use coconuts down there. like when they put drinks in the coconut shells. so if you go to cancun, or maybe tiajuanna, you can find someone using one as a glass.

in my real experience, the glass shattered everywhere during the explosions. maybe you've seen it on films? they keep the explosions in the house.

A dream that has already happened.  Prior to 1914 and the first world war, there were no weapons of Mass Dist ruction.  War still occurred and countries invaded each other.  Countries were threatened all of the time.  \n\nBesides, the genie is out of the bottle and can't be put back into the bottle.  If such weapons were done away with do you really think that some nation wouldn't develop them in secret?  Of course they would and then they would rule the world.\n\nA nice dream, but not reflective of reality.

The is no need for evidence as to whether Saddam had WMD's, of course he HAD them. The U.S. sold them to him when he was an ally in the 1980's.As to where they are now, he used quite a few during his years in power before Desert Storm, probably used a few more since then. As to where they are now, if Bush and his boys weren't able to find them, is there a possibility that they are truly gone and Saddam told the truth, or is that not liberal enough a question?

Should we be worried?  No.  The guy himself said that the ingredients used are very rare and only available on the black market, and we already know that there is quite a bit of old soviet nuclear material about.  I'd question who the guy was, and how he managed to get hold of the rare materials.

Ration Coupons were used during the war to get certain items because so many things were needed for the war effort.  Such as tires, coffee etc. Metals were used to build military vehicles etc so it was nearly impossible to buy a new car. Hope this answers your question.

The weapons found predated the Kuwait invasion and there is nothing found that post dated it! These weapons were there for over 13 years! How can that possibly be used to prove anything?\n\nPlease ask George Bush to identify, locate and present a breakdown of all current weapons, weapons technology and the location and amount of those which are no longer used but are stored in the US and any other country where our military is found!\n\nThe idiocy of all this is that Reagan took Saddam off the terrorist list in the 1980's in order for him to purchase weapons and arranged loans for him to do that. Because some of the weapons may not have come from the US, the money to buy them did, and Reagan's removal of Saddam from the list allowed him to buy them,\n\nCheney and Halliburton were deeply involved with Iraq!
