Whatever you want, just so long as you choke some one out before the night's over.

"Choke someone out"?

what ELSE is made out of PVC, so as to avoid getting stained by various bodily fluids?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Pooka's Catwoman suit?

(one can dream, can't one?)

For some reason I misread that as the motherfucking master of meatboxing.

 

WTF is meatboxing?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I don't know, what is meatboxing to you? :D

James is right it has to be Saul.

 

STH crew on issue #300. Fuck that. It's 8 years away we'll all be the same age as Ade is now and look at him he's a decrepit old codger. :)

 

Also Rogan will have committed suicide by then. Christian and Red will have given up this communist nonsense and having turned to capitalism will each own a hemisphere of the globe as part of their evil empires. Pooka will have been imprisoned for fucking someone to death. James will be fine though he will still have his boyish good looks and be unable to grow facial hair.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

bwahahaha. I'll take Europe then, if that's all right with you, Christian?

I'm still amused by the fact that the Norwegistani versions of Calvin and Hobbes are called 'Tommy og Tigern', thus neatly removing one of the series' better in-jokes (and one which would surely work anyway - Calvin & Hobbes are both recognizable historical names. Do they translate the names of the philosophers too?).

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I agree that that was silly. I think it was done to make the comic more of a children's book, which is pretty misunderstood if you ask me. However, the name is pretty cute though.

I also suspect the then-translators of not knowing the refernce their names are...

Steven Segal, eh? Never knew he had it in him...:D

...and here's the scientific answer to your question: (I'm guessing ethanol has much the same properties as isopropyl)

---

Ask a scientist:

Freezing Point of 40% Isopropyl

name Patrick C.

status other

age 40s

Question - what is the freezing point of a water and isopropyl alcohol mixture (40% isopropyl)? It would be great to have a method of estimating the freezing point of other concentrations too. The reason I am asking is my fish samples are preserved and are not in a heated building. I would like to know if ambient winter temperatures will be a problem.

----------------------------------------

Patrick,

You can calculate the freezing point of the 40 % isopropyl alcohol/water

solution as follows:

Assume you were to end up with a kilogram (about a litre) of final

solution. This means that 400 grams of the solution would be the alcohol

component and the remainder, 600 grams, would be pure water.

The change in freezing point of the solution is the freezing point

depression constant of water (-1.86 C per mole solute per kilogram

solvent) multiplied by the solution's molality.

The molality of the solution is moles of solute (alcohol) per kilogram of

solvent.

First, calculate the moles of alcohol present: Using a chemical handbook

or atomic masses from the Periodic Table, the molar mass of isopropyl

alcohol (C3H8O) is 60 g/mol.

Four hundred grams of the alcohol would represent 400g / 60 g/mol = 6.67 moles of alcohol.

The 600 g water component represents 0.6 kilograms of solvent.

Thus, the molality of the solution is: (6.67 mol alcohol / 0.6 kg) = 11.11

molal.

As mentioned above, water's freezing point depression constant is -1.86

degrees C per mol of solute per kilogram of solvent. This means that for every mole of solute dissolved per kilogram of solvent, the freezing point of water drops by 1.86 C from water's actual freezing point of 0 C (32 F).

Thus, your (40 %) solution would freeze at (11.11)(-1.86) C ==> about - 20.7 C (- 5.2 F). Is this sufficiently low for conditions inside your unheated building? Unless the temperature inside falls to less than - 5.2 F, there is little danger of your specimens freezing.

NOOOO!

No I'm all sad inside. Thanks a LOT Elec!

OK, fair enough. The stuff I listed makes me want to claw my ears out.

Not at 0 degrees celsius it doesn't. It's something like 40% alcohol, so unless you have a deep freezer in your "man-cave" (WTF?) I wouldn't worry. Actually I'm not convinced a deep freezer would do the trick either, but there I'm not sure.

I was confused by John's comments about Rogan's off-topicness as this is the thread for exactly that until I realised that JMac had probably moved them into this thread. Ignore Rogan rambling and fill your heads with the image of me wanking. Eurrghh horrible wasn't it.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Indeed

That still doesn't mean bubble-gum pop has any quality.

In addition, I would nominate the gross of commercial countrymusic, soft r&b, every single boyband/girlband in existence.

Examples of the above:

Shania Twain

Britney Spears

O-zone

Vengaboys

R Kelly

Nelly

N'Sync

...and the list goes on and on

I actually find some songs by Linkin Park to be all right.

You're all wrong

There are lots worse music than nu-metal

Why are so many in the US obsessing about the colour of british teeth?

Only in my dreams, thatæs true...;)

BTW that cover has me salivating

Red's on the cover to #204!!!

*grumble grumble, everyone will die, grumble grumble*

Oh no! I've been noticed!

I still wonder what "OC" stands for

haha he is noone, I wanted a picture for my joke so i googled "that guy over there" that was the first image i got haha :D:D

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That's just mean

:D

Are you Meaner than these then?

Oh no it's not. We know what you look like, Akhira!

8$ is the equivalent of 2 pints here, you know. So no, not that much.

Nothing new, then...;)

This is a big file and a slow download, but it's totally worth it. (You can all beat me up if I'm wrong...):

The motherfucking master of beatboxing

Pah, I'll see it in the cinema. I share all of your dislikes of what they've done, but 1) I'm curious, 2)It's not that much money, and 3) If I try to forget the HB link, the film might be entertaining.

I think I remember the last time this happened, Pooka, you had us all scared then... Anyway, here's to your thyroid working again! Keep us posted (I imgaine you would anyway, eh?;) )
