I'm tell you why you can't do It.
because every minute particle o. II -

may be heated redhot and beaten into
this shape anu that. but still the force

and the hammer would fan 60 powder

would be an explosion, caused by the
sudden release OF the power, which
would probably wreck this room and

yes, think I do"
"Wcll here is something you won't
