Whats up with PaintBalls?

way to name drop TK in the first post. What makes him qualified to assess the growth and health risks of mold? Yes, he is a smart guy and has done some very interesting research...on dinosaurs. I agree with the other posts above, this looks a lot like marketing hype.

That's terrific, I saw it in the first post too. Please explain to me how this makes TK qualified to assess the health risks of mold to paintball players. A source would be nice too, by the way. And while you're at it, why don't you take explain why an "electron microscope" would be the proper tool used to study fungal growth (its not, by the way, but why bother with facts).

Mold is large enough that it can be studied with optical microscopes which are way cheaper than electron microscopes. And the expiriment doesn't really even need a microscope, you can see mold growing by eye. The fact that the OP desided to throw in the stuff about TK and electron microscopy made me immediately think b.s. A lot of other stuff in the OP is suspicious as well, it does not sound credible.

I didnt throw in nothing. I just quoted and linked to what I saw on the interwebs AND asked the question. WHATS UP with paintballs?[Thread title] That is all.

You make youself sound like an expert so tell me [us] whats up.

Hells survivors made a stand and thefordreport posted it.

YOU know whats up? If so please elucidate and be explicit.

You missed my user title didnt you?

I think that bunkers get dirty because fields don't take care of them, like many other people have said. The way the quoted text reads, it sounds like the owner of the field has some financial arrangement to sell eco friendly paintballs and is trying to justify high prices with crappy science. Honestly, it wasn't the first quote in the OP that pissed me off, it was the second one about TK's involvement. I simply asked for a source, and it was not provided.

A close friend who works at Fermilab, operated by the Obama and and the U.S. Government, has already been contacted to conduct these exact tests. They have a nuclear reactor, - REALLY - and have extensive scientific background and experience in conducting scientific tests in controlled environments, following established science protocols for forensic testing, so I am now 100% confident that the genuine unbiased answers will be forthcoming...right.
