    It breaks the air into little chunks, and your fingers into little chunks.

    My 8th grade teacher had us watch episodes of Mr Wizard in class, and this was one of the episodes I saw. This is how I learned how simple these things are.

    I don’t know that I would’ve wanted to do that. Even for getting the possibility of losing a finger or an eye or worse, I can only imagine how loud that must’ve been.
