    Well since I can’t find the post about the one guy who likes to read books on here (joking, no clue) and you said “capture” I’ll just share my reply to him lol Roman history is hilarious and entertaining, one example is of the believed to be richest man in the Roman Republic and his name was Crassus; even though having no military talent he did as Julius Caesar suggested and that was to set off on an expedition in the east to conquer the Parthians (a desert people), instead of marching through Armenia he decided to march straight there through the desert in Mesopotamia; he was met by an envoy and the messenger told Crassus after he made a few snobby remarks from Crassus, “Crassus, hair will grow here before you reach Parthia” showing him the palm of his hand; the two armies finally met, Romans with their usual formation of foot soldiers of various ranks forming the center of their line with cavalry on the flanks, meanwhile the Parthians were exclusively on horseback armed with bows and ancient day tanks in the front known as “cataphracts” which were heavily armored horses and they hid half or so of the Parthians true numbers; skip to the end the Parthians encircled the romans shooting them with arrows relentlessly, even though they formed their testudo (essentially a shield wall covering all angles of fire) the bows and arrows were more advanced and pierced through many of their shields; Crassus’s plan was to break free once their quivers were empty, but off in the distance he could see wagons that were brought up and they were full of arrows; after a failed attempt to break through with cavalry and one demoralizing head on a pike, anyone who wasn’t dead and could still walk fled to a nearby town at night, Crassus fled to a nearby mountain and once the Parthians tracked him down he was killed by having molten gold poured down his throat; a fitting and ironic end for the richest man in Rome lol

    Watching it now. I'm curious to see the results, because I have sworn by Kroil for years. It's the only penetrating fluid I'll use, and my view has always been if it doesn't work, nothing will.

    Ok, in these tests, I've been wasting my money on Kroil. But, the real test is when the 1/2" impact doesn't budge it. Which one works without breaking the stud or having to completely torch the nut off? My vote still goes to Kroil. And it smells the best when hitting glowing metal.

    No, that might require admitting to having been there in Mesopotamia. ;)

    Well anyone who’s been to Iraq has been to Mesopotamia, along with a few other surrounding countries; it was an ancient civilization located between the Euphrates River and Tigris River in an area known as the, “Fertile Crescent.” Rofl okay now I’ll shut the hell up, before I open up my own history class on here
