When I clicked on play, I was redirected to a page o f f e r i n g me nude women. Then a pop up tab showed me this page. Please Geekster, do something about this. You can send me a personal message with suggestions and d e l e t e this comment after you have done so.
Now I had to separate the letters in the word d e l e t e because they turned red and o f f e r e d me a link where I can repair W i n d o w s.

Come on, now the same red thing happens with o f f e r i n g and w i n d o w s! And o f f e r e d!

#3 I strongly suggest you run a deep virus/malware scan on your box. :|

There is two different stories about this. Woman #1 link told that pressure caused the secondary state explosives to explode. And then i have seen discovery document where there was one compartment with primary explosive containing artillery shells.

As we know secondary explosives can be only set of by other explosion. No fire, spark, electricity or pressure of fire will ignite them. Primary explosives will go off from electricity, spark, fire.
