Acid. Strong acid.

Home chemistry ***. :D

Am I the only one here waiting for the first OcUKer to be admitted to hospital with serious burns? HF is pretty poor at drain clearing, so hopefully no-one will be silly enough to use it. Sulphuric acid (sulfuric as actually correct, by international agreement, but I'm British so I'm going to use the old spelling) works by removing hydrogen and oxygen from the target in form of water. The rest of the molecule then just falls apart. As will your skin, and then your flesh, if you don't wash it off pronto. To see how bad it is, dip some paper tissue in some. One significant danger is that the reaction gives off gas. Fine if it can escape; but if you can't, you get a phenomenon called "blow-back", where the contents of the drain are flung around the room. Amusing to everyone except the house owner. Sodium hydroxide works by dissolving fats. Which is what holds yours skin together. In this case the burn may not be noticed for some time as there is often no pain. Until the skin has broken away and the caustic is free to work on the flesh underneath. FWIW, acid is better for bathrooms, caustic for kitchens.

So you've just admitted you don't wipe your ass crack properly thus letting 'bum hair' become hard from faeces to the point where they slice through turd during log drop sessions.

Yeah, the guy named it that, then decided it was retarded and went with the UK spelling and pronunciation, which is also the international one.

The guy that named it aluminium and also aluminum was the same person.

Go read some history.

Aluminum came first, and was adopted in the USA, where it stuck and became ever more popular over time.

Aluminium was preferred here as it fitted with the -ium ways of the periodic table.

I remember when I was a wee lad, cartoon network used to show 2-3 minute episodes of a cartoon in breaks that was utterly retarded. The only actual thing I remember about this cartoon was for a long part of it the protagonists are trapped in a knock off version of the Death Star called "Munimula", and it was introduced as "they are in fact travelling towards Munimula, which is aluminum spelled backwards". I remember myself thinking "wtf is an aluminum y0?"... Anyone else remember that cartoon?

Yep, knew this. I could have sworn the UK spelling came after and he decided he liked that better anyway.
