Now, it's been a while since I've done chem ... 3 years since I've looked at a chemical equation in fact. But, either you've written up your balance wrong in the browser, or something doesn't seem to fit. Mainly the fact that your balanced equation isn't balanced, you've got two sodium atoms and only one bromide now, and yet some how produce two molecules with it BEAKed? (That one's for Tex) For those who don't know how to balance chemical equations, it's really simple. Especially the one above. You're basically told the types of atoms used (usually told that you have several of one type as well), and the end product. And basically you need to make the equation so there are enough atoms for a full reaction. So the equation starts off with a single Na (sodium) atom and a single Br2 (bromine) molecule and when reacted they produce NaBr. So if you look at the equation, the Br2 molecule will be broken to make 2 Br atoms. Then only 1 of those atoms is used in the reaction, leaving a Br atom behind. To balance it, we add another Na atom to react with the left over Br atom, create two NaBr molecules. Ga! Stupid typo I made, there... You know what I meant!

Not quite precisely. You will note that I said 'God the Son' not 'a god.' While you have it correct this time, there was a slight difference last time. Anyway, back to the topic at hand. Thank you. I wasn't trying to offend anyone, I was just making a joke... So yes, who wants what, and who is getting who what? My sis is probably getting an air pump for her bike. That or a new soccer ball.

Youtube seems to mess up the sound a lot. I left a comment. And a rating of "poor." @J.H: I thought of that right away as well. "The first castle didn't work, so I built another one. Then that one didn't work so I built another one. That one sank, too, but the third one- The Third one..." Great movie...

You took a rather long break from posting if I remember correctly. That break lasted, what, four or five months? The fact that you've now passed Tex indicates that you've been spamming. Oh, and I never got as caught up in the BEAKing process as Scath (Who has yet again run off) and Mitth did... Crap, now Mad only has four posts left before hitting 6,000 again. I'll go tell Mitth on Facebook...

If you're trying to BEAK him, Tex, I must correct you: Only a parochial school may refer to the break in December as a "Christmas" break. (Though they should really offer the break in the Summer around August) In accord with the Establishment Clause and the decision that children are influencable by being taught religion in school, the school board must call it "Winter Break," so as to be non-denominational. We just finished up the first ammendment in government class. If you were referring to it as "Christmas Break" with regards to it's length being all of one day, I appologize. I just like to go off on long rants about the Constitution because I can. @Eagle: And here I always wanted to watch "The Meaning of Life." That was both hilarious and sickening. Kind of like "Supersize Me."

That's pathetic. As I believe I have mentioned before, stupid people annoy me. An Indian girl in my Honors Chemistry (Next year it will be AP) class is particularly annoying. She makes toffee of the English language, and doesn't even have an accent to excuse it, such as a Texan would (Had to get that jibe in, Tex.) Through her mouth "Avagadro's Number" becomes "Advacado's Number," "Magnessium" becomes "Magnessimumiumium," etc. On top of all that she can't even grasp how to balance an equation with coefficients. __Na + __Br2 __NaBr This is easy. Match the number of sodium atoms on both sides and match the number of Bromine atoms on both sides. The answer is this: 2Na + __Br 2NaBr Simple. And yet she (And half of the class for some reason) CAN NOT GRASP IT!!!!1 [/venting my frustration in the stupidity of people who sign up for honors classes and proceed to complain about how they're stupid and the class is too hard.]

Medieval torcher had some pretty twisted ways of killing you, such as slicing open your stomache, yanking (not cutting) out your small intestine, nailing it to a tree, then forcing you to run around in circles around that three by jabbing you with a hot iron. There was also what I believe was a Chinese method in which a tube was shoved down your throat into your stomach and water is poured down until your stomache explodes. Then there was Chinese water torture, where you were placed in chains and suspended upside down in a tank of water where everyone watches you suffer. Ways I would like to die: 1) Natural causes. 2) Being 'brain dead' and then having my internal organs donated, resulting in A) Helping those who are in need and B) Killing me in what is, hopefully, a rather non-painful manner. 3) Beheading. I just want to see if it's true that your head really lives for another three seconds or so on oxygenated blood after it's sliced off. (There were some rather neat experiments in that field regarding the transplantation of oxygenated dog's blood into recently-severed human heads during the French revolution. Seeing as the scientists did this in the back of a moving carriage, my hat is off to them. Not that I wear a hat in the first place.) Ways I would not like to die: 1) The dissembowlment process I mentioned. Come to think of it, any method of killing that was designed for the purpose of entertainment (You might argue that the giutine and other beheading methods were for entertainment, but the guitine was, in fact, considered the most humane method of killing by it's inventor.) 2) Being stuck in a microwave/ drowning (It's a tie) 3) Having my foot sawed off and then having the flesh peeled slowly away from it toward my body, layer by layer. That seems horribly painful. 4) Any method of death devised by Steven King and/or Michael A. Stackpole. Read the book Stiff. It will tell you all about cadavers and what has happened with them, as well as the history of methods of killing/reanimating the dead. It's from 2003, and it's awesome, telling us such facts we never cared to know as that marshmellows, gummi bears, the white peel on salamis, gel caps, and the nougat in most candy bars contain cow bone and pig skin-based gelatin.

Eh, I'm not seriously going to get into an argument with someone about something that is impossible (IE moving at the speed of light) I would still love that power were it possible... Though regenerative abilities would be pretty sweet. Kind of like Captain Jack on Torchwood- any Torchwood fans, here?

-12 C? Brr! It's currently 47 degrees F here. Haha. BTW: That was the wierdest thing ever with the Halo2 music vid... I wonder how RvB will wind up encorporating Halo3 into everything...

Just curious Tofu.. but how is that eating a god?... eating bread and wine is not anywhere near eating a god unless you are at a catholic mass and you believe in transubstantiation and you are partaking in communion... Sorry- I was referring to the Catholic mass and didn't specify.

Hell, we have castles down here. They're tiny and overpriced, but everyone in the area refers to them as castles. All you'd really have to add would be a dungeon, portcullis, and a moat to make it the real deal.

I think that's Mad's job. I can not, unfortunately, consider myself an authority on Monty Python. I'm not even a lumberjack in the eyes of the original Monty Python gang. BTW: You always capitalize "Broadway."

Just because you can move outside time doesnt mean your not on the same plane of existence Tofu.. it just means you can reach into or beyond the fourth dimension and no longer be constrained to the third dimension where time is only observable as a split second and as a past thought. Gravity would probably still exist seeing as how you are still on earth and our solar system blah blah blah... now when you get to the fuel and stuff.. it sounds like you saw "The Langoliers" recently or read it or something... just because you are living in the fourth dimension it doesnt mean that chemical properties or even mechanical properties change... just you did... thats all..... all that other crap is just hollywood man... or some stupid writer who doesnt even think beyond his desk and could care less about physics or quantum mechanics... gonna cut it short now... any questions? Never seen it before- However, if you stop time supposedly those things that were in the air would remain in the air. That is to say, they would be precisely where they were when time stopped. Thus now gravity is a function of time, is it not? As for a chemical reaction- chemicals will covalently bond when they reach a point of balance. That is to say they are at the point where the attraction of one atom to another precisely equals the repulsion exerted upon it by the like charges of the nuclei. This requires movement. If time is stopped, these molecules are not longer vibrating. Hell, now that I really start thinking about, unless you have Rob's aura you can't move very much at all. All of the individual particles in the air are frozen in place by this lack of time... Ah jeeze, this is too deep of thinking. Bottom line: "Who're" is commonly accepted as a contraction of "Who are," the same way as "Y'all" is accepted as "you all" and "All y'all" is accepted as "Everyone who can hear me." Come to think of it, "who're" may well be an accepted contraction...

Who're you calling inexperianced, Tex?

So you have issues with the Christian god? We are created in his image according to the Bible, and humans are, in fact, edible. Does this mean that the Christian god is one to be warry of for his edible-ness? Heck, we eat bread and drink wine a lot in the States. Is that not eating a god? ... Just screwing with folks, not trying to mess with their faith. ... I argue with far too many ID folks on the internet... my favourite rebuttal was when I asked one to explain how Neanderthals and Homo Habilis and the like fit into ID. He told me that they were really monkies, because chimpanzees have used tools before... And apparently practiced burial rights... And primative religion.

Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaah... But as someone who's fantasized about stopping time late at night when sleep just won't come, certain questions arise: For instance, you clearly are now moving outside of time if you can move. This means that you are not on the same plane of existence as humanity- do such things as gravity still apply to you? Can you still drive a car when the gas is frozen in time, and thus really incapable of being moved? Heck, would you even be able to move in the first place? If you did freeze time and couldn't move, your brain functions would cease and time would never star again... So yes, time could be a very dangerous thing...

What's the big deal? I did that in, like, two months. Eh, you don't spam quite as much as I do/did. Congrats, Rob. Hey Mitth, I'll race you to four thousand!

Rob, I thought you would know all about the FSM, especially since it has reference to pirates! Arrrrrgh Yes- see pirates, were actually kind fellows who travelled around the world giving candy to small children. Other religions merely painted them as bad people to persue their own ends.
-
I would change jobs and become a professional photographer snapping pictures of super models for Victoria's Secret. What does this have to do with stopping time you say? ... figure it out Unfortunately you'd fall asleep half-way through

The coolest religion ever! Does your heaven have a beer volcano and a stripper factory? I think not!

I would love to have control of time...

Wore a cup. Still hurt like a bitch and left a ring around... Right, new subject time! Erm, I'm personally asking for the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
-
Bloody brilliant! Seriously, how do you draw that well, especially with CHALK?!?
-
Horrible movie. Two or three good jokes in it do not make up for the complete lack of plot or decent commedy. That was the worst-spent time of my life since I got kicked in the nuts by a donkey.... No, actually the movie hurt more, come to think of it...

That's fantastic! Where did you find that?
