What's this!?! Foreign languages!? I have not heard of such thing!

[Larks2242 251]

6693.

Well your speaking one now according to people outside the US.

[Duke87 1,070]

So, yes, English is a foreign language for someone from Britain or Australia.

[joshriddle 29]

6695

Australians speak Engilsh, so it wouldn't be a foreign language to them.

Gotta love sarcasm.

[Larks2242 251]

6697.

Indeed

[Duke87 1,070]

(6698)

So, yeah, I updated the thread ranking list.

[astronelson 339]

Well, still a few in front of us. Onwards and upwards!

Just out of Curiously do you keep all the lists or delete the old one when you update it? and also why do you even bother adding the private topics if you don't add the post number its not like your saying what the topic is

6702, Houston, we have a problem, we are, well..... tooo high, not,

[astronelson 339]

6703.

We count forwards, not backwards, Tommy.

[Larks2242 251]

6704.

Yea, however that might not be a bad idea once this thread is over

[Vahr 341]

6705

But what if that way is forwards?

[tjh876 31]

6706, so what do we get if we reach 10000?

[astronelson 339]

6707.

Take over the world?

[Muck308 55]

We get nothing but what we give ourselves.

On another note, I forgot how elusive margaritas could be. Sure have another... you'll be fine. Liars!

Mixed drinks can be up to 7/8 liquor so be careful of them.

[astronelson 339]

6710.

But not usually 7/8 ethanol, which is probably for the best. 7/8 methanol would not be good at all.

[Larks2242 251]

6711.

Ethanol?Methanol? What are you guys drinking Gasoline? Might as well be drinking Carbon Monoxide

[Duke87 1,070]

(6712)

Ethanol (C₂H₅OH) isn't just for fuel. It's also the type of alcohol in alcoholic drinks.

Didn't know that, eh?

[astronelson 339]

Petrol (gasoline) is mostly isomers of octane and/or nonane, if memory serves me correctly, as well as small amounts of a few other hydrocarbons, such as benzene.

[Chptrk 86]

6714.

Yes, now this is the part of chemistry I started becoming totally lost at.

[Korot 6]

6715. @Duke: Still, it seems to burn pretty well.

@Chptrk: Why? What's difficult about isomers? They have the same amount of C- H- and other atoms, just in another arrangement.

[Duke87 1,070]

Person A: My car got scratched!

Person B: Save me your Saab story.

[Chptrk 86]

@Korot: I'm not a chemistry kind of person. Biology, yes. Some conceptual space things, sure. Other then that, give me a history book over a science one anyday.

@Duke: That's a knee slapper if I've ever heard (read) one!

[Larks2242 251]

6718.

Knee slapper? you crazy hillbilly

[Duke87 1,070]

(6719)

I always thought "knee-slapper" sounded like it wanted to be a polite substitution for something profane. But it's not.

[Muck308 55]

I have very little to add to the current discussion. Nothing actually. Oh well.

Edit: Oh wait! PFB Warning! 

There. That was useful.

Thanks for the useful warning Muck
