“I developed my police survival techniques through toxic interactions with the Pima County Sheriff in Arizona, USA, when I was performing research for the books Electrical Forensics and Toxic Electricity.”
Steven Magee

“If you mix a liquid with gunpowder and ignite it, and it burns with a steady blue flame, then the liquid must be at least fifty percent alcohol, and that's PROOF. That's the way they proved a liquid was alcohol in the 17th century when distilled spirits were first taxed, and that's what is meant by proof to this day”
Dick Francis, Proof
