"lol. if some one is asking if the gas is lighter than another gas then I dont think they would be thinking about the atomic weight." Well... who knows.

I always think this things in a bigger scale. So what if I failed my math exam (at least I think I did, haven't received it yet) - it's not going to end the world or kill anyone.

Well, it wasn't too clear if he meant the O2 weight vs. CH4 weight or something else.

Wha? Sulfur hexafluoride? Never heard of it, sounds rather dense though.

"Back to the original subject, I hope to have some interesting video of some peroxide fueled stupidity to post soon." The last video of stupidity was great, I hope this one is too.

"hell, Id be impressed with whoever creates something capable of that, no matter where they live!" The 50 million just might help a Chinese engineer group to do that. "International" is the word of today.

Even though Europa has conditions that are somewhat pleasant to small carbon-based micro-organisms, I find it rather unlikely that there is any life. I went for the "outside this star system", if we ever even get there.

Lol, remember to never put fish that don't come along well in the same tank. My friend had a psycho fish who killed all the other fishies. :<

Only for US residents? I was just about to go to Moon with a sugar rocket. "however, for $50m can you really develop / build / run a space ship and still make a decent profit????? i think not, but maybe im wrong!" Put a Coca-Cola banner on your rocket and there comes your sponsor money.

"It was exactly this kind of attitude, with no thought for the consequences, that caused Australians!" *Brrr* Every single time I hear "G'day mate!" I just want to jump out of the window. j/k Not that I hear it too often, Australia is quite right on the other side of the planet. :F And YT, I'm sorry to hear that you got that sort of people there. :/ Perhaps we should design YT2095's Megashed of Vandal Doom 3000 Deluxe.

"That sounds like its ment to be in there its making a joke out of the stereotypical american police, they are always at a doughnut shop instead of doing there job." That's what came to my mind too. Damn those cartoons/games... They give the wrong impression of nice policemen. And a double-sided dildo?! What were they thinking? I mean, sheesh! Don't they know that policemen prefer one-sided vibrating ones? ... For scratching their backs, I mean.

Yeah, it's probably in General Science since funny (and not so funny) accidents can happen with all sorts of things, not necessarily chemicals. Chems are the most usual case though.

Ahh they are proteins! I've been wondering what on earth they are. I see them quite often. Though due to certain mushrooms, I see quite odd things all the time. "You have eye monsters. Go see the nurse before they spread to others." If one would actually have "eye monsters" I wonder how they would spread... Jump from an eye to eye when in close range? Funny mental image, nevertheless.

Nitrites suck. Inside your body, they can turn into nitros... nitra... whatevers, that are very potential carcinogens. :<

Heh, now that I think of it in the evolution aspect, it's kinda hilarious. Evolution created humans. Now humans think they know better. It's like if one was to build a machine, that then one day says "I know more about machine building than you do"... or something. And it actually doesn't, it just thinks it does. Like maybe it can build a simple gear-thingie itself, but it doesn't have a clue about computers and such. I would be rather pissed at the machine at that point. "There aren't good analogies. There's just bad and worse." -The guy next to that guy who lived by the nice lawn in a trash bag

Do the old ladies still fight like Jackie Chan? Damn, they packed a punch in GTA 3.

Uhhuh. I think I'm going to die when I have org. chem in high school. :<

Hmmh. I used the same half-life as you did swansont. I probably did something wrong in calculating how many atoms of U-238 is in a gram... I used the http://www.onlineconversion.com conversion from gram to amu, then calculated how many atoms is in there. :|

Sooo... San Andreas. Any remarkable new things?

How terrible YT. My grandfather lost two fingers when they lighted quite powerful blasting caps with a few second delay. He didn't have time to throw it before it exploded... Anyways, I personally never had a terrible mishap. Kitchen floor melting... blowed-up test tubes... The most annoying was probably the potassium chlorate isolation thing, when due to lack of a proper pyrex or such test tube, I used a normal glass jar. About 1000 Celsius lighter + regular glass = not good. The bottom blew open throwing mushy match heads all over my clothes, table and floor and such. Btw, I would too like to know what the Sayo's acid is called. Was it by any chance a pine table that it ate through?

OK, tried to calculate the activity of U-238 with Bq as activity units. Got about 9000 disintegrations per second in a gram of U-238. Is this anywhere near the correct value? If not, then I'm rather pissed off since I calculated it quite long. Where could I find the listed activities / mol?

Hey swansont, how's that fission thing calculated anyway? A formula involving the nucleus' overall binding energy and, uh, something?

How odd that it came from "GTA is a brilliant game, when it's in stores?" to this. :/ Not that it's too weird that this sort of things come up when such games are discussed.

Umm... Food is usually plants or animals. You can't really clone "dead" food, such as potato chips since... it's dead, so the cells can't multiply... or split, or whatever that they do when one cell becomes more than one. But sure, you could clone some living cells and then eat them. Yum yum, cloned meat.
