that glass thing i said is true!
Its from an excerpt on the offshoot of the Discovery Channel, called Einstein.tv or something?
Trust me! Its so viscous that for the bottom of a pane to gain a 5% gain of molecuels would take 10 million years! THATS A LONG TIME!!!!!
Yeah and that acid thing i said, it must be like pure H+ protons for it to be acidic, although suprisingly, i think the key factor is the presence of lots of fluorine..., cos its the strongest reducing agent. |

they had a thing about this on tv, so ridiculous! i was at my friend's and we were laughing our asses off! it appears they even have contests of who can toss a midget the furthest... now, when the law came out, some of the midgets protested it by saying that they are expressing themselves that way and no one can take away their urge of being tossed...:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :stongue: |
HELL YES! Someone else saw it! Yeah, a South Florida radio DJ was a midget and he was against the anti-tossing law. He said (on air) that he was moving to Georgia, where he could be tossed if he wished.
I'm glad someone else knew this so it didn't seem like I was making it up, lol.
But yeah, midgets are some funny , so this had me rollin' too, lol.:stongue: :D |
