Who'd a thunk it? Drywall from China? I mean the stuff is dirt cheap in the first place. How can it be economical to ship it from China? Unless the Chinese are secretly trying to kill us all. Yeah, I'll bet that's what's behind their evil scheme.
I'm reading Dustbury this morning and he's talking about how boring (or not) drywall is, and he points to a story by Brian Skoloff about how Chinese drywall is making people sick. Seems Chinese drywall is giving off Hydrogen Sulfide gas. Hydrogen Sulfide is nasty stuff. At low concentrations it just smells bad, but at high concentrations one good breath can kill you. Some nitwit builder claims it isn't a problem because none of the houses where Chinese drywall was installed have exploded in flames and killed everyone in the neighborhood. Just a little black soot on the plumbing fixtures. Just wipe it off . . . WHAT!?!?! If you can see the soot, you can bet there's a significant amount of gas in the air. Oh well, the world is full of lying numbskulls. Seems the people who are living in these houses can tell there is something wrong.
