These must be some pretty exciting sausages.

How about a penny without the zinc? You could drill a tiny hole in the side then drop it in some hydrochloric acid. It would be cool to have a solid zinc penny though.

My idea just isnt good enough for you eh? I see how it is....

Well... you could but it is not recommended. It can wreak havoc on electronics using the same ground and is potentially lethal if there is a problem with the wiring. Wouldn’t want 2' sparks shooting out of your wall socket...

I found it very easy just to melt the zinc and because the copper is so thin it easily rips and the pure zinc pours out. Or to make it easier you can file down one side then melt and pour.

Oh yea I saw that. I was shocked and was thinking that maybe that’s just a guess or he measured it wrong. He also has some mercury switches I was thinking about buying. Edit: doh, they already ended. I bet he will relist them.

I just got my gold and palladium foil in the mail and as much as I would want a kilo of both I think they are great samples. here is the link to the guys auctions. If he doesnt have them listed you can just email him about them (thats what I did).

mmm... mercury would be so much fun if it wasnt toxic. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=3849073147&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT 100 grams for $33 uncluding shipping Edit: I'm not sure I really want a whole lot of mercury though. It would be real cheap just to buy a few switches and either keep them there or empty them into a vial.

I envy you. I ordered gold and palladium foil a few days ago. Im thinking of geting mercury today. Ill probably buy a bunch of mercury switches and just empty them into a vial.

I use a cold water pipe. I have not had any problems with it yet and I dont think I ever will considering it runs miles through the ground.

I think lie detectors are really a scam. I’m surprised it’s aloud as evidence in any states (isn’t it aloud in a few states?) If I was accused of a crime I would refuse to take it even if I was not guilty. They are extremely inaccurate and not only that people could judge the results differently. I’m assuming you’re talking about a polygraph?

You can be crazy without murdering people. I'm sure a lot of the people on this forum could be called 'crazy'.

I think its ugly.

I thought http://www.benrik.co.uk/content/mood.asp was more interesting than the global vote (its by the same person).

Why would it be valid, make a difference, or mean anything to anybody? Even the Idea of letting the world vote on a single countries leader is ridiculous.

Sounds like the 'bonsai kitties'. And those people with the website protesting a single company REALLY need to get a life.

Why would it matter if a bird got the flu...?

There’s a flaw in your logic. No matter how many times you get shot, no matter how many times you lose you can just start over. All you have to do is load a game and either not go to where you failed or try again. In real life it doesn’t work like that. You can’t try to steal something and simply load a saved life if you fail. Why does it matter if the person who shoots up a school pays for it? What about the kids who are now dead? Do you really think that’s an even trade, trading the life of twenty kids for revenge on a single person? What do you mean people should be able to interpret the differences between game play and life? We are not talking about mature adults here we are talk about minors who live with a single parent that works during the day and goes out at night. You’re expecting a bunch of kids who play gta to make smart choices? Also, I have played the game and have not seen the 'negative' aspect of it. It makes the life feel nice and inviting. Why would you want your 5 year old sister to not be affected by violent movies? I dont see why its a good thing to be indifferent to mass murder...

Come to think of it, I think we should round up all the Statists and put them in prison somwhere and see hoy they get on with big government.

No government? What do you think would happen if you put a bunch of people on an uninhabited island? You’re going to get lord of the flies. Also everybody just got done saying that it to it makes too many people libertarian.

I read around 3 million in Time mag.

"Centrist 30.16 % Right (Conservative) 7.49 % Libertarian 34.95 % Left (Liberal) 18.75 % Statist (Big Government) 8.64 % " I'm thinking its a bit flawed. I got Libertarian too.

Right now 50% of the precincts in florida have reported and bush is up by 7% (in florida)
