Answers to the Alphabet Meme...

[badstar]

from here: http://fuego.livejournal.com/781340.html (if you still want to contribute to this meme and give me a topic to write about from an available letter of the alphabet, have at it.

So I received some uh, interesting topics. I have to say, there's not much I am able to say about a couple of them....

From glitteringlynx- xmen

This is a topic about which I know nothing. I mean, I've heard of characters names...Rogue, Professor X, Woverine, Archanagel etc. But I really know nothing about them to be able to write productively. I thought about going to wikipedia and looking them up...but do you really want a book report on a wikipedia article?

From raistlynn- Apollo

When I can think of a starting point, Apollo will likely get his own entry.

From needa- zymurgy

Another topic upon which I know nothing. I looked this one up because...well, I had to. I didn't even know what it is. The study of fermentation. I'm sure it leads to the production of better wine and all but...I don't have anything interesting to say myself about it. I've been trying to think of something, but never studied it myself, I'm clueless.

From heartofmoon-salt

Salt. Salt??? Ick. I'm not a fan of salt. I don't even have a salt shaker in my kitchen. I eat very little of the stuff and was actually once told by a doctor that I should consume more. Yuck. Once in a great while, I'll eat some chips.

But blue halite crystals are pretty, and so are those wacky new agey salt lamps that you see around from time to time. I wouldn't mind having one because they look cool.

I remember from chemistry class in high school that if you mix an acid and a base, it will produce a salt. And you can dehydrate a slug by sprinkling salt on it. My seventh grade earth science teacher taught me that, but that it's also very inhumane and said that if you have to kill a slug, please, please, please boil them in water instead because it kills them faster. That was Mr. Sponseller. But I'm getting off topic. Hey, that's three things beginning with S- salt, slugs and Sponseller! Woohoo! Wait...science! Four things!

Salt is also useful for melting ice. But it leaves white residue on stuff.

Salt.

Sorry about the weird topic. I've just been interested to see what people have to say about it since I had to write that ten page paper on it. :)

Is cool, I at least managed to say something about it...lol

I thought if you mixed a base and an acid, you got water? o_o

Nooo...you get water if you mix oxygen and hydrogen, though it's a little more complicated than that, you need somethng for them to condense on, and some sort of force to uh, force them together. Like an explosion.
