Then I got up to grab a drink from the fridge, and was literally hit with fridge logic (http://bit.ly/11WwIi).<br />I'm pretty sure a battery can't be THAT dangerous, we've got batteries all around the place, almost certainly if a battery can be as dangerous as a hand grenade either someone will have found a fix, or terrorists would be using batteries (you know, instead of slightly more hard to come by, REAL grenades).<br /><br />So I did what every geek has to do when in doubt : GOOGLE IT!<br /><br />and this is THE most powerful explosion video of a battery I can find : http://gizmodo.com/214322/actual-video-of-an-exploding-laptop-battery<br /><br />Pretty impressive I guess, would definately cause a bit of chaos on board a plane, especially if a couple of these are thrown into the cockpit or something, but not THAT bad that laptops could ever be used as an effective way to cause damage.<br /><br />So today's comic was, based on a funny idea, I guess, just a pity that you can actually cause way more damage with a few lighters, which happen to be OK to take aboard a plane too, but just don't have the geek value.DrJarajskihttp://www.twitter.com/DrJarajskinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-16215163340372581322009-10-19T20:50:10.091-07:002009-10-19T20:50:10.091-07:00The only reason I check out XKCD is because of thi...The only reason I check out XKCD is because of this blog.
