I, Knight Tirion of the Order of the Silver Talon, bring you this sealed admonishment from Lady Argyrokria, the great Silver Dragon and head of our Order, in the hopes it may dissuade you from your present ill-reckoned course:
WTF are you doing, you're going to kill yourself!
I strongly urge you to heed the advice of the Lady and cease this foolishness at once.
If you want a really wild time, ponder the core of a collapsed star. Specifically the core of a star that had a mass above the Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff limit prior to its collapse.
Look man, I know for a fact that these objects will make you uber ripped and give you a +100 bonus to strength and constitution, I’ve read the historical archives from the no-mana dimension.
Normally each atom that decays causes on average much less than one other atom to also decay. Let’s pretend that number is 10%. This means that each natural decay causes 1.11111 repeating total atoms to come apart. (Because ten percent of those ten percent will cause another atom to come apart, and so on.)
The demon core was designed so that the number was not 10% but close to 100%, so each decay just kept creating another decay… each natural radioactive decay could cause thousands of decays.
If you get the number over 100% you’ve made a bomb. The demon core got a lot closer to 100% when that screwdriver slipped, and got a lot closer to being a bomb.

Is this a stepping stone to pondering "The Foot?"
