Default D'OH...

...as HOMER would say, hope you're alright and still have all your hair.
Watched discovery channel last night and there was a blurb on Hydrogen. It said it had 100 TIMES MORE ENERGY than gasoline. They filled up 2 party sized ballons , one with straight oxygen and the other with hydrogen. Then they used a very long pole ,with a match on it, to light the ballons. The O2 went bang, neat , the H went "BOOM" and shook the camera about 30 feet away. Impressive, and dangerous, more so if in a confined area.
