The Terrible Secret Of Space

The "terrible secret of space" is that it is infinite, as hard a concept as that is for some people to wrap their heads around.

saltpeter

Potassium nitrate (KNO3), a substance used in explosives (usually gunpowder) and fertilizers.

Contrary to popular urban legend, saltpeter has no effect on libido, and too many side effects (high fever, etc.) to be used even if it did.

The army doesn't want to kill our soldiers with saltpeter. They want our enemies to do it.
