....Good to see Dennis is still out there, and that Cecil actually
printed someone correcting him. He's been somewhat of a jerkoff of
late, especially when it comes to the truth about the New Coke scam.

The movie "Outland" has at least one scene in which someone who is in an
elevator that gets depressurized explodes to the point where intestines pop
out. Also, faces explode.

Much worse than "Total Recall" in that regards.

Since this does not happen, it's clear those movies are not documentaries
with respect to the effects of explosive decompression.

Ok, sorry, I thought you were referring the name of Dennis Newkirk, not the
topic of the URL.

Now it all makes sense. :-)

There was one scene where a bad guy exploded, and I started singing "Pop
goes the weasel".
