Why is something made from a posionous gas and explosive metal so tasty?

[Rabrrrrrr]

And so necessary for human life?

God is weird.

[Orsino]

1. Dick Cheney is not necessary for human life.

He's quite antithetical, in fact.

[Hugin]

2. Having a breakfast burrito for breakfast?

Those bean's will get ya.

*nods*

[Random_Australian]

3. meh.

I'm a chemist, (in training) so I can barely contain the rant welling within...
BEWARE!

[eyepaddle]

5. That is Rabrrrrrr you're talkin' to

I say don't contain the rant--let 'er rip and let's see what happens?

:popcorn:

6. I'm going to bed, and it sounds like I'd get a nasty suprise.

Is he a triple PhD champion nutter de loon tréz Whacko Extrordináire, by any chance?

[Droopy]

7. I don't know about the PhD part

But the other stuff is probably true. :)

[Random_Australian]

8. O.K., can he axe me on chemistry grounds is the question....

But like I said, I'm off to bed. That ryhmes, I'm special, end of story. End of message.

End of session.

9. I wouldn't go that far--he's just

DA BOMB when it comes to eloquent rants over matters of questionable import (check the archives for the thread on christmas cards and ballpoint pens for a good example).

Plus, I'm not sure, but I think he's an engineer, so if we get him all wound up balancing equations it might just be sublime!

As a hazardous waste specialist I'd call sodium more reactive/dangerous when wet than explosive--but hey, from watching it skip and flash it'd be hard to tell what the distinction is! ;)

[Rabrrrrrr]

17. Why would you feel the need to rant?

It's a simple question.

[Random_Australian]

18. Because the answer to your question was contained in your post,

Rabrrrrrr.

[Rabrrrrrr]

20. It was?

Where?

[ghostsofgiants]

21. "God is weird."

Duh.

[Rabrrrrrr]

22. Ah, of course! I didn't think of as an answer.

When I wrote it, it was merely a comment. An observation.

But yes, it also works as an answer.

thanks!

:yourock:

[Random_Australian]

24. Also note that you asked two questions, the second answering

the first.

[eyepaddle]

4. Feelin' a little salty this morning are ya?

;)

[GCP]

10. OK I got the sodium part

But I'm lost on the poisonous gas - care to elucidate? :)

[eyepaddle]

11. pssst

(whispers) it's chlorine.

[GCP]

12. Ahh - OK - thanks!

I'm always a little slow in the morning! :)

[BikeWriter]

13. Salt is sodium chloride..

[Ikonoklast]

14. Uranium Hexaflouride?

Great on crackers.:nuke:

[Rabrrrrrr]

16. Absolutely!

With a little sprinkling of sodium pentathol.

[Catchawave]

15. You've tried my husband's coffee ?

:shrug:

[NNadir]

19. I had no idea that the cesium salt of CBZ-e-BOC-Lysine tasted good.

I didn't know it was essential to life either.

You learn something every day.

[spacelady]

23. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are tasty, also. n/t
