This popular chemistry demonstration is often called turning water into wine or water into blood. It's really a simple example of a pH indicator. Phenolphthalein is added to water, which is then poured into a second glass containing a base. If the pH of the resulting solution is right, you can make the water turn from clear to red to clear again, as long as you like.

ITS WINE its water ITS WINE  :lulz:

aka ITS A CHEMICAL its a chemical ITS A CHEMICAL . . . hmmm kinda lost something in the translation there. when  i was a little girl my dad was an industrial chemist and he took me into the lab one day and one of the guys did this trick for me. i remember it vividly though it is over 50 yrs ago but i can honestly say i've never found it lulzy - do you think i am doing it wrong . . . ?

Think for Yourself, Schmuck! / Re: What is Chi?

  so looking at he chi phenomenon from a slightly different angle . . . when I was first reading up about chakras - yeah wildly different countries/energies/whatever/whatever - and trying to do those exercise thingies I was sent for an MRI scan. So they give you a radioactive drink and then bombard you with magnetic doohickies. So I'm lying there and when the magnetic torus gadget gets to my root chackra Bang - off it goes. So I mentioned this to the radiographer in a conversational way and he was totally unsurprised YES it turns out that this is a common phenomenon during scans, and is thought to be a side effect of the radioactive isotope you drink . . .  well lets just say I'm not convinced. But I can't find any refs to it online - I suspect that there is a scientific explanation here which relates to the body's electrical/magnetic makeup - thoughts . .  and how does it relate to chi . . .




removed orphan letter - damn this obsessive behaviour . .

Unfortunately for Iran, these vows only apply to sporting events and culinary skill.

yeah, but you need to remember one of the lesser known rants of St John The Divine
5 and 20 virgins came down from Inverness
and when they went back home again there were 5 and 20 less . . .

this indicates that should Iran ever beat England at Twickers it will be the End of The World - as we know it, sorry just having a quick REM moment there . . .

'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it George Santayana [1905] William Shirer quoted this as an epigraph in his literary work The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich [1959] - gotta love the irony there then.


Those who don't give a flying fuck about their past indiscretions are condemned to be [Italian fascisti] / [insert extremist groups/s of your choice here]

Trans is a Latin noun or prefix, meaning "across", "beyond" or "on the opposite side
Mimi Parent (1924–2005), a Canadian surrealist artist

Therefore it wouldn't beall that much of a stretch to conclude that Obama's new shiny "transparent" means beyond surreal . . .
