Interesting. I don't buy it, though. If that was true, it should affect metals, and weakly bonded covalent solids as well.

 

But I'm no chemist so what do I know.

I remember using glass to test hardness in my geology class, its harder then talc and many other rocks.

how and why would it have to effect metals specifically?

Because in metals, the atoms that compose the metal aren't specifically bonded to their adjacent neighbors, but rather, to the mass of metal itself, due to electrostatic attraction caused by the "electronic gas". If we are to believe that the structure of glass allows for molecules of SiO2 to change location like that, the atoms of the metal should be able to do the same. And the same goes for covalent solids with weak intermolecular forces (but strong enough to keep it solid at room temperature).

 

But as I said, I'm no chemist, so I'm probably wrong.

Ice is a mineral.

 

Edit: Has to be naturally formed.

Blowfish is rather poisonous if not prepared properly. It has a gland tha secrets a substance called tetrodotoxin that blocks the sodium channels in neuromuscular junctions and blocks the contraction of skeletal muscles. So, since the breathing depends on the contraction of such muscles (like the diaphragm) you suffocate to death. That

It takes 66% more energy to change the temp of water then to change land/soil.

I like to call lenin a semi social dictator and stalin a totalitarian.

if you recall, in the other thread, i agreed with both of these statements. if anything, they were probably closer to fascist since the government ran all businesses...

Tarantula's shoot their body hair as a defence mechanism. This is how they got their name, as it caused skin irritation and the victim's scratching resembled an african dance called the Tarantula.

Mount Fuji is 3776 meters high and it is the highest mountain in japan.

I'm not sure about this one: It's impossible to fold a sheet of paper over itself (short end to short end) more than seven times, no matter what size or thickness it is.

Does anyone else than me find it troubleing that this is the most-visited thread in the whole forum?

Where'd you get that?

 

OT: Uhh, wheelbite at high speed causes some nasty road rash.

In japan otaku basicly means a rabid fan and geek of something. Literally otaku means "a house" and it

Where'd you get that?

11+ pages and the new posts are...rather frequent. Just a hunch, I guess.

The music topic has more views

One of the most-visited ones then, you overly blue ranger.

Nope it's an overly blue elven fighter "

It's a ranger I tell'ya, even if I never used that avatar for my rangers in IWD.

That says it's a fighter,tho I haven't played IWD in ages

Well, is it that strange? Obsidian had to bend over and move NWN2:s forum pages to BIO and since they haven't released some REAL info on their upcoming title what is there to debate?

The Treaty of Troyes declared the Duphin Charles of France a bastard and confirmed Henry V of England as the rightful successor to the throne of France.
