There are a bunch of crossdressers in my backyard.

Ever thought they are just really odd looking men?

[Gamerlord]

Nope. My sister's birthday party is 'Beauty and the Geek' themed. God help me.

There's a zombie on the lawn

There's a zombie on the lawn
We don't want zombies on the lawn

Nope. My sister's birthday party is 'Beauty and the Geek' themed. God help me.

I thought they stopped that show because they ran out of ideas. It is still on the air?

I still remember the season that had an actor as one of the Beauties... and it was terrible (I don't watch the show... but my mother is a Reality Television nut... so if I spend ANY time with her, it is to spend time watching reality television... Which is why I don't spend a lot of time with her)

I wouldn't mind too too much if the shows were just mildly bad. Yet she also watches those reality tv shows where you question the morality of even watching.

The there are the food contest shows that put the focus soo far off the food that they sort of just miss the point.

Reality TV sucks.

The there are the food contest shows that put the focus soo far off the food that they sort of just miss the point.

Which ones are those?  The only "food contest" shows I'm familiar with are Chopped, Masterchef, and Hell's Kitchen, which are all very much about thefood. (Sure, the last one is about the personalities as well, because the entire show is effectively a job interview, but the food is still important.)

God dammit. This is going in the WTF thread because people will rage at ME if I put it in the rage thread.

I'm getting another brother/sister. After I made myself clear that I did NOT want  sibling. Now, I' just dont know what to say. I have a sister, and thats enough trouble for me already. Plus, I dont know why they are even doing it! They work full time already, both of my parents, they have enough trouble from me, and my sister, and they want another child. Argh.

I'm angry and WTFing all over this shit.

...Why do spambots always want to advertise us kitchens?

[Gamerlord]

Because that company is really fucking persistent. Anyone know what country they're based out of?

[OREOSOME]

The UK, judging by the url they always link.

[LordSlowpoke]

you'd think someone would sue them for harassment with how you can sue people over just about anything that displeases you on the internet in ukstotzka by now

In which case you need you some chlorine trifluoride.

Why did I just go look up chlorine trifluoride?

Chlorine trifluoride and gases like it have been reported to ignite sand, asbestos, and other highly fire-retardant materials. In an industrial accident, a spill of 900 kg of chlorine trifluoride burned through 30 cm of concrete and 90 cm of gravel beneath.

It ignites glass on contact.

[Frumple]

... reminds me of the stuff talked about in this, about 3/4ths the way down. Dioxygen difluoride. Interesting thing is it links to chlorine trifluoride in the "see also".

Apparently fluoride (fluorine?) is... bad?

E: Also, you didn't quote the best part of that article:

It is, of course, extremely toxic, but that's the least of the problem. It is hypergolic with every known fuel, and so rapidly hypergolic that no ignition delay has ever been measured. It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers, not to mention asbestos, sand, and water — with which it reacts explosively. It can be kept in some of the ordinary structural metals — steel, copper, aluminum, etc. — because of the formation of a thin film of insoluble metal fluoride which protects the bulk of the metal, just as the invisible coat of oxide on aluminum keeps it from burning up in the atmosphere. If, however, this coat is melted or scrubbed off, and has no chance to reform, the operator is confronted with the problem of coping with a metal-fluorine fire. For dealing with this situation, I have always recommended a good pair of running shoes."

Yeah, fluorides are horrible things. Fuck, XENON, a fucking NOBLE GAS, reacts with fluorine. And from what I recall, XeF8 is another horrible compound.

[Nadaka]

One of my chemistry professors at university had a chemical burn scar on his face and streak of white hair resulting from a "minor" lab accident involving fluorine.

[Solifuge]

Thank you. Now I know what element to base the chemistry of horrible alien exoplanets on.
