Thankyou Eddie!! I was going to send Mister Stevans a hot spout of flame
for his retort, but then I figured the guy wasn't worth the effort if he
can't take an objective view peoples curiosity. I wasn't trying to slam
anybody....I was looking for a rational explaination of the posted article.

Speaking of rational explanations - I've gotten several email replies on
this subject that seem to be pretty plausible.. but none that can totally
explain why people see the blood as a liquid. I'm sure that there were 
witnesses that were close enough to the event that they could differentiate
between a mobile liquid and a mobile powder that APPEARS liquid. A liquid
would coat the ampule whereas a powder would not (or would it?).
