        I seem to recall the Nazis using this (and trucks) in their early search for cheap, highly effective method of mass killing.

              They keep saying on the news that it was petrol fumes that killed them.
              I think it far more likely to have been carbon monoxide (CO).

                We know not to fill tanks next to running generators,

                or fit pipes to exhausts,

                or run engines when stuck in snow.

                Dat kind of thing...

                    Indeed.

                    BTW, the patent "Giant Alien Lizard Rain Machine, Earth, For the flooding of" seems to have an intermittent fault. It was sunny this morning.
