If you follow that logic to any sort of conclusion, your Dell Laptop would have been a flaming molten mess and your fingers burned to a crisp long before you stopped using it.

Of trivial interest I've read on a medical based forum (the thread was somewhat of an internet meme at one stage) on a thread about 'weirdest emergency room admissions' - well apart from the 'really' crazy ones, were blokes who had variously come in having attempted suicide by drinking coolant, but strangely, esp given the amount and time lapse since they drank it, were presenting zero symptoms. In each of the cases, they had drank a shitload of alcohol to both work up the courage and alleviate any possible pain of the method of suicide. Turns out ethanol, in considerable dosages is the 'anti-dote' - i.e. it is a competitive antagonist or something - it will bind to the receptor or chemical that ethylene glycol otherwise would, and prevents it from thus doing harm.. -- John McKenzie tosspam(a)aol.com abuse(a)yahoo.com abuse(a)hotmail.com abuse(a)earthlink.com abuse(a)aol.com vice.president(a)whitehouse.gov president(a)whitehouse.gov sweep.day(a)accc.gov.au uce(a)ftc.gov admin(a)loopback abuse(a)iprimus.com.au $LOGIN(a)localhost I knew Sanchez before they were dirty root(a)mailloop.com $USER@$HOST $LOGNAME(a)localhost -h1024(a)localhost abuse(a)msn.com abuse(a)federalpolice.gov.au fraudinfo(a)psinet.com abuse(a)asio.gov.au $USER(a)localhost abuse(a)sprint.com abuse(a)fbi.gov abuse(a)cia.gov

I had to shoot it in the head as it would have been too difficult to repair.
