Sapphire: a dry liquid

never get wet

thought this was kinda interesting.

Am I the only one wondering how the fluid dynamics of this chemical work?

I'd love to see this stuff in action.

its going to replace KY

Ya I saw that stuff on the news this morning. CRAZY shit.

johnny come lately.

You better watch your back Dizzy. Tommorow means war. There will be a battle. April 15th there will be blood shed.

yah yah, wuuuuuuudeva. If you bring something stronger than chickens this time, i might not hurt you like i did last time.

HEY! YOU TWO! TAKE IT TO THE THUNDERDOME!!!!

yeah mine too. i can't wait to drink that creepy saphire stuff either.

Nemesis dont fight really, were more of prodders

Oh your ass is so gonna get beat in teh thunderdome tomorrow!

I only drink Sapphire from my Aerogel cup... TM.

I am completely and udderly astounded by this

Well kids, we learned two important things today;

A) Scientists have finally discovered what we in the business refer to as "BLATANT ASSFUCK DICK COCK ASS LYING".
B) Bears DO have nipples.

it's not very hard really, the substance that used to be in the bottom of thermometers has the same properties (nickel?)

basically the fluid cohesion is so high that the fluid will always stick to itself rather than to whatever is dipped into the fluid.
there's a really simple experiment to show it, take a vial of this fluid ( i really think it was called nickel, kinda looks like fluid silver), put your finger in the bottle, shake vigorously and nothing will stick to your finger.

whatever this chemical is they just created a fluid with a really high cohesion.

I wish they could find a way to make rain out of this chemical.

Thats fucking awesome.

nickel? don't you mean mercury? and isn't there some kind of health affects associated with that? I recall they changed the substance in thermometers to alcohol or something along those lines.

hah that was it, and yes there is a health risk, mercury evaporates really fast if you break the thermometer and it's quite poisonous if you inhale it which is why they now use alcohol.
if you break a mercury thermometer the liquid will actually "roll" over the floor in little balls of mercury because the cohesion of the fluid is so high that it won't attach or absorp into other substances.

Oh my god. That's awesome!
