363 - The Day The Alchemists Isolated Ferrugo Regia, Maddening Quizzes, and Organic Riffs

Short one!  Although I have approximately 6000 entries that I could post, they aren't on this computer.  Amazingly this is all I had left at home when the mood to post struck. - Mr. Silver

Mr. Silver
"Battery Powered Rocket Not Battery Powered, Has Batteries In It Though"
On the other hand, it's still rather cool.
The actual fuel is awesome
Mr. Blue 
3D printers are confusing
So instead of loading ink and paper you load... titanium?
Ms. Rose 
I read that it's a mixture of dilithium crystals and kryptonite.
And Bovril.
Mr. Blue 
Ah yes. That's how they get you.
Mr. Silver 
Powders or fluids or resins, yes. Injected or sprayed in layers to build up.
This method says it's using "electron beam melting".
Guess it's just welding all the titanium powder, etc together as it goes.
Mr. Blue 
Chrome plating is cool
Mr. Silver
Chrome plating is cool, yes. Plating in general is.
I just imagine the confusion as people started figuring that one out.
"Ummm...your highness? You know your favorite silver cup? And how you were saying it was smelling funny and to clean it? And as long as I was at it, scrub the green off your bronze plate?"
"...Yes...am I going to be upset?"
"Ah...eh HEHEH!  Um... Anyway. I rubbed the plate with salt, and left them soaking together in vinegar, and...um...maybe it was the gods? Look."
"AUGH!!!"
"Well the cup is still pretty!"
"AUGH!!!"
Mr. Blue 
Hehehe



Mr. Brown 
That quiz is good
Mr. Silver 
So good you were planning to post it sometime today, right?
Mr. Brown 
That page
Mr. Silver 
The link doesn't really open to anything, unfortunately. Is that part of the OCD test?
Mr. Brown 
Yes
Is that better? It should have a long list of quizzes.
Mr. Silver 
Got to that one. What shall we test for?
Mr. Blue 
I'm already diagnosed with anxiety and depression; should I test anyway?
Mr. Silver 
The opinions of mere doctors, Mr. Blue. Maybe the quiz will fix you.
Mr. Brown 
I have ADHD and moderate anxiety
Things I already knew but the test confirmed
Mr. Silver 
"I got a rock"
Mr. Brown 
Pet rock?
Mr. Silver 
Charlie Brown reference
In my head, I read the "what you got" lines as Peanuts characters in the Halloween special.
Mr. Brown 
Hehe
Personality test result: "Rock"
Mr. Silver 
"I have borderline personality disorder!"
"I have paranoid delusions!"
"...I got a rock."
My bizarro associations are probably a symptom of something. There a test here for that?
Hmmm...maybe Asperger's
Mr. Brown 
I'm taking the anxiety test.
Does this test know I have it?
How many questions is it going to ask??
What happens if it tells me I have it???
I don't think I want to know!!!
Mr. Silver 
Hehe



Mr. Silver 
I went to a drumming circle Saturday
Mr. Blue 
Why did you go to a drumming circle?
Mr. Silver 
To drum
Mr. Blue 
Oh, okay
Mr. Silver 
But in more detail, it was a New Moon thing with the (area) area pagan types who hang out at (place).
Done some Full Moon stuff with them too.
We vaguely match them, spiritually.
Not much too it, really - light conversation and Nature reverence interspersed with holding a random rhythm as long as you can.
"Ancient LAN party!"
Mr. Blue 
Jam sessions are cool, but drums aren't my thing
Used to do that in high school
Not really a band... we could only play parts of cover songs, but we'd just kinda stand around and goof off.
"Hey that sounds kinda cool"
"Yeah let's play that for a while
Mr. Silver 
1/2 hour of the first bar of "Smoke on the Water"
Play U2 songs...they just repeat the same few phases over and over til I turn them off.
Mr. Blue 
I was bored yesterday and started coming up with “The 5 best slide-guitar riffs in rock songs!”
I could only think of 3
Bad to the Bone” by Thorogood
More Human than Human” by White Zombie
Slow Ride” by Foghat
Mr. Silver 
"The Top 5 Slide Guitar Riffs!"
Only has 3 entries, and those are #s 2, 3 and 5.
