Derail This Thread

Since every thread turns into a political discussion and has nothing to do with the original post I decided to post some random thoughts and see where they go. So the usual supects of the derailing here you go-

-Why is the sky blue?
-Why is water wet?
-Do maggots get drunk when they bury alcoholics?
And my personal favorite
-Which came first the chicken or the egg?
Now lets see how long this turns into Bush vs Obama, Taxes, or my politician is better than yours. [Roll1][Coffee]

The Chicken came first and the egg illegally immigrated and stole his job!

And the Debt Ceiling fan is making some noise, I think I'm gonna spray it with Break-Free...

-Why is the sky blue? It's Bush's fault!
-Why is water wet? Again.. All Bush's fault!
-Do maggots get drunk when they bury alcoholics? Check the Kennedy's graves.
And my personal favorite
-Which came first the chicken or the egg? The chicken came first.. laid an anchor egg and is now living on welfare

From an evolutionary perspective the egg came first - the genetic material in the egg determines whether it is a chicken or something else, instead..

Bush's fault!
And Obama thinks your grill is too nice, so you cant use it unless everyone on the block has one just as nice!

Wood chips? Your killing trees! Thats against everything you stand for!!!!

There are plenty of dead trees already from the pine beetles. I know pine is no good for BBQ smoke flavor, but is it good burning wood? And someone told me that a forest fire in the dead pine beetle killed forests is not likely because the trees now lack the sap that really makes the fire hot. Is that true?

How am I doing derailing the thread???

I cut down trees, is that a bad thing? Should I not tell the good people of Boulder? They of all people should understand my reasoning... fire mitigation. Dare I remind them of the 4-mile canyon fire? [Coffee]

They also get mad at wind turbine power generation for killing birds and power generating dams for killing fish. WTF do you want hippies?!?! You want green energy but then want to stop it when two fish and a bird dies...

Fish ladders fixed most of the issue. Just like repainting the wind turbines would fix much of the issue. Oddly I think purple is the color that keeps the most birds away. Most of the people making a big deal about birds and windmills are those who are paid by the fossil fuel industries.

The fossil fuel industries know they are in deep shit because every study (even their own) point towards running out of all types of these fuels in the next 25-50 years. We have reached Peak Oil and on the downward slope of the fossil fuel age...

I came up with the idea of a really big solar panel array in Boulder that has "Asteroids- AIM HERE!", but due to lack of funding the idea was scrapped.

Why do you think we are keeping so much of ours in the ground? One day we will own OPEC.

The sky is blue due to refraction of light through the ozone layer.
Water feels wet because the H2O molecule is polar. This is also why non polar solvents like acetate don't feel wet.
Maggots don't get drunk. Alcohol breaks down fairly fast in a decomposing body. Also, most states now require a coffin be buried in a semisealed concrete container, so, pretty hard for flies to survive in that environment.
As long as we currently have chickens, only the archeologists care about this question.

I love having a resident chemist (is that what you study/do?). I will call you professor from now on.

Chemistry, criminalistics concentration, major at Metro. Far from a professor, but I spend the majority of my time studying chemistry and other material for school. I wish I had a PhD in chemistry.

Either way professor, those are some pretty damn good answers to some of the most basic and frequently answered questions... except one. Is the universe unlimited in it's expansion?

Well thats an easy one. The size of the universe was predetermined by the flying spaghetti monster 2500 years ago when the universe began. And of course, the earth is the center of that universe.
