For those wondering acetylene and oxygen is what mechanics use for heating components and cutting torches. An old prank was to fill a small bottle with it and light it off which creates a very loud bang, from speaking to an old mechanic someone once did it with a 4 pint milk bottle. The bang was strong enough to break the windows on the shop floor. So using an acetylene bomb for breaking up hail wasn't really to bad of an idea in theory

Well, heck, a typical Fuel-Air bomb is created with nothing more than atomised diesel and ordinary atmosphere, and those have been responsible for some of the largest non-nuclear, non-meteoric explosions ever recorded, so I can imagine something similar created with acetylene and oxygen would be extremely potent.

10:14 - The B-side of the Pop Will Eat Itself single 'Love Missile F1-11' (a shambolic, though brilliant cover of the Sigue Sigue Sputnik hit), is entitled: 'Orgone Accumulator', which was another batshit mental pile of bollocks invented by Wilhelm Reich. And the Lockheed P3 Orion is not a dull aircraft. It's a long range maritime patrol and reconnaissance aircraft. And they carry lots of gear to twat enemy submarines with.

This may be about a strange esoteric method of spirit healing that I have never heard of before, but I think the most baffling part about this is that Prince thinks water is blue. Like, I guess you could consider it a symbolic mixing of colour, water associated with blue and blood associated with red, makes the associated colour purple. It's just strange to me.
