Well, silverware should only apply when it's silver, everything else should be "flatware", "tableware", or "utensils". But when you say 'silverware', everyone knows what you mean, regardless of the material, and it's pretty much the same for "glass" when referring to a drinking vessel.

Chaz, get the fuck off it. You go out of your way to find posts by Makare and act like a douche. You both need to put each other on ignore. Seriously.

Nothing was wrong with the first thing he said.

Basically, this would mean he and makare can't respond to each other's posts at all, because even if they say nothing wrong, it's still perceived as bad.

Chaz trolls up pretty much everyone like that, it's just that there's so much bad blood between him and makare that she'll instantly jump up at it... and Chaz knows so and instead of backing off pushes it further cause...... well, he's Chaz.

So yes, I agree with escushion... but there's a bit more to it than that.

Which is a good point. There are probably even more blatant contradictions in English, but if they're more removed from the context it might not have the same moment where it just hurts your brain to consider it.

For instance, awful use to mean "full of awe" and could mean something of great beauty or great terror. Now it just means something bad or even just pathetic. (Even it's replacement, awesome, doesn't really have the same grand meaning it used to). However, even though awful is often used to describe things that don't invoke any awe at all, it doesn't have the same impact as realizing that glasses aren't always made of glass.

wow... holy shit, I had never put "awful" in the "awe" context. It makes so much sense. Shit, I learned something new today.

Lots of words like that. Another, Everything, A lot, just about every word ending in -ful, even such things as Breakfast.

I was pipetting some clones. I had like 30 5mL cultures and I'm doing 3mL mini-preps on them, so I'm moving pretty fast in between cultures. I plunked the pipette in too fast or flicked the edge of the conical tube, either way I felt like a drop of culture hit my lip. I ran over to the sink and washed my face and rinsed my mouth. It wasn't a big deal, just one of those things were you get grossed out.

I think it just makes chaz a real scientist of HONOR, I am of the opinion you shouldn't call yourself a practitioner of the dark arts until you do something stupid to yourself while working. I called my greatest moment lighting my arm on fire while working with ether.

I've spelled out my name in ethanol numerous times and set it on fire on the lab bench.

The best are dry ice bombs. You take a microcentrifuge tube and pack in some dry ice and a little bit of water. Close the cap and throw that fucker in a trash can. It's always best to do it to someone surfing the internet.

Oooh, SCIENCE! shenanigans. I know there's more tales out there - please enlighten a poor blue-collar worker with more tomfoolery amongst the test tubes. *grins*

Seriously... Everyone always thinks of scientists as staid and boring. We know y'all have an acerbic wit and a propensity for pranks, and it would appear that you have access to some pretty nifty materials...

Suddenly, a resonance cascade failure doesn't seem so far-fetched......

I resent that you call it trolling. I'm not trying to bait people much of the time. I just like to make little quips about their posts. I don't see what's wrong with that.

I am kinda sad. I was going to buy these glasses. Sure I personally was going to display them, but sometimes I might drink out of it (since it is a glass cup after all)

As for calling it cup/glass, I am not sure. I think it has to do with a shape. If a cup is made of glass but shape of a cup (small and fits in the hand) it might be called a cup. If it is REALLY small, a shot glass. Weird huh? ;)

Cadmium - That seems to be in everything lately (or at least more known about it) It was made in China wasn't it? I do believe the Chinese is trying to take out some U.S. people slowly but surely.

So Braveheart the Shark and Alice are pissing back and forth at each other? And we find out that a year ago the Braveheart Shark was licking crap off stuff at work. (Exaggerated for effect)

Sometimes I have to double check my favorites to make sure I'm not at 4chan.

I swear to god the internet makes LSD look like Flintstone chewables.

I'll go back to lurking again.
