ATTENTION LADIES
We have a feeling this guy just might be single.
(Thanks to Claire Martin)

"Hey buddy. Spare a nickel?"

I'm thinking all of the people on that page are single... and will be for quite some time to come.

First! Left Coast rocks today, right El? (FYI - my ex built the empire state building out of magnets - 'nuff said...)

ok, not first, I paused to be witty and it cost me.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 16, 2006 at 09:54 AM
Annie~ Well, it was a threesome simulpost, so...
As far as the coin guys, sure, they probably have no life, but that's nifty.

I gotta show this guy to my mom. She is driven insane by my dad's habit of keeping his change on the dresser grouped by denomination: quarters, dimes, nickles, pennies.
I will NOT, however, show it to my dad.
Posted by: Betsy | January 16, 2006 at 10:16 AM
Not to sound disperaging, but a little reality-check is in order. Isn't posting "WooHoo, first, and these guys have no life." a little bit of the pot calling the kettle black?
Oh, I almost forgot... WooHoo, sixth.
*I seriously need a life, or something that remotely resembles a hobby, even a new tooth brush, anything.*

Annie - I think a triple FIRST simulpost counts! :)
*decides she can afford to be gracious given her coup on the previous thread*

I think the formations are kinda cool. That bridge one with the pennies defies gravity.
But I'm a geek that way (and NOT single).
Posted by: Noob | January 16, 2006 at 10:35 AM
Well ladies, at least you know he's not broke.
Posted by: ArcticAl | January 16, 2006 at 10:36 AM
Bets - If that's all your mom has to complain about! You should talk to my wife!
Posted by: pogo | January 16, 2006 at 10:39 AM
They may be single, but it looks like they've got coin.
Posted by: Teri | January 16, 2006 at 10:52 AM
aaaah-chooo!

Great another hobby of ultra nerdism using physics I need to pick up.
Or maybe I should go on dates... Nah the mushroom cloud nickel thing is so cool.
Posted by: Alfred | January 16, 2006 at 11:08 AM
Irrelevant coin story:
Did anyone else ever do that experiment in chemistry class where you take a new penny (a recent on that has zinc in the center rather than being solid copper), file the edge and throw it in some hydrochloric acid so that the zinc is dissolved and you're left with a paper-thin shell of copper? It is neat.
Posted by: Bumble | January 16, 2006 at 11:27 AM
Alfred~ Maybe you could have your cake and eat it, too. Ask me out and see what happens. ;-)

Correction to coin comment: a recent one
Must learn to proofread.
Posted by: Bumble | January 16, 2006 at 11:31 AM
What gave him away?
Posted by: Kilmeny | January 16, 2006 at 11:33 AM
Pogo...LOL...She has many more complaints; they've been married for 67 years (and knew each other for 10 years before that); so the litany is pretty long. Most of them, however, are on the same level as the coin sorting thing. It's pretty much the background noise of a long and basically very good marriage:)

Bumble:
Nifty chem demo. We never did that one, but we did one where we added zinc to an old penny and turned it to brass. See http://www.pbs.org/safarchive/4_class/44_guides/guide_804/4484_glory.html#act1
for a demo.

Oops. I stretched the blog. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to do the links the way the cool kids do.
booger.
Posted by: will | January 16, 2006 at 11:38 AM
will~ That is cool. I loved doing chem experiments, but unfortunately the lab section of my classes only took up about 10% of the class, if that. The rest was lecture, lecture, lecture. *sigh*
My chem teacher was a cool guy though. He had an empty can that he said he found in his grandparent's attic or something. The label read "Dehydrated H2O: Just add water!"
Posted by: Bumble | January 16, 2006 at 11:43 AM
will~ This is how Brainy taught me to do it.
Bumble's Link
makes Bumble's Link
The address you want to link to goes in the quotes, and the text you want it to say where it says "Bumble's link." I saved it in word and looked at it when I wanted to link until I had it memorized. Thanks again, Brainy!
Posted by: Bumble | January 16, 2006 at 11:45 AM
Oh, shoot. The text turned into a link. Duh. How did Brainy manage to post it without that happening?
Posted by: Bumble | January 16, 2006 at 11:47 AM
will~ Try this.
Posted by: Bumble | January 16, 2006 at 11:50 AM
One good aftershock and you've got one angry nerd.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 16, 2006 at 11:57 AM
Bumble: You have to type < and > where you want the less-than and greater-than symbols.
Posted by: «LabSpecimen» | January 16, 2006 at 12:03 PM
Lab~ Ahh. I see. Thanks.
Posted by: Bumble | January 16, 2006 at 12:27 PM
Wow. Can you say "obsessive compulsive"? Also, who has that much change lying around?
Posted by: magic8ball | January 16, 2006 at 01:45 PM
I always go here and copy/paste the code and url. I can never remember the whole thing.

Posted by: pogo | January 16, 2006 at 01:51 PM
Well that sucked, try this.
This is supposed to be a link to a link aid...
Posted by: pogo | January 16, 2006 at 01:53 PM
I have it in a word doc and I just copy and paste. If anyone wants it, e-mail me.
Posted by: Eleanor | January 16, 2006 at 02:08 PM
booger.
Hey, I think it works (the link, that is)! Thanks for the tip Pogo! I've been meaning to ask how that link biz worked in the blog...
Posted by: Mad Soapboxer | January 16, 2006 at 02:15 PM
Now that I think about it. Can someone explain this.

alfred - see the blog for 9/26/05 for a story with a video on mentos+soda, this demo was also on NUMB3RS last week...
Posted by: insomniac | January 16, 2006 at 06:44 PM
Thank you
Posted by: Alfred | January 16, 2006 at 07:15 PM
I think that these men are all very married and avoiding taking the garbage out.
