Perhaps someone out there could test the theory by taking a ball bean 
hammer to the outside of their hard shell kayak. ;-)

I hope this does not evolve into one of those endless strings.  I'm not 
even a proponent of the theory. I was just reflecting on what I'd 
heard/read. So if this dies I won't be disappointed.

However, the next time I have roast beef and a horseradish garnish I will 
pay more attention to the after affects.
