What is the logic of Calciballs? Have they anything to do with
calcispheres (very small fossils)? |
|

[8th] we've all had enough of your puns. now just Fe²O³ will you. |
|
| |
I think he steel has one up his sleeve. you can't ballaim us for being enthusiastic. It's for a noball cause. Anyway he always steels the show. |

I apologise if my previous comment was perceived as offensive in any way. What I meant to say, was, enough puns, give it a rust. |
|
| |
We dare you to come oxide and say that. |
|
| |
Not with you in that temper |
|
| |
You may think you're hard enough, but quenchng you will put a spring in our step, and don't you forge-t it... |

Sounds itchy. A better idea would be a series of
evening social events for thieves: "Balls of Steal" |
|
| |
Or a moral tale for small children, like Goldilocks and the Three Bears. You could call that "Bowls of Steal". |
|
| |
A rustic grin as the prank is played out? |
|
| |
Oh yes - interesting idea. |
|
| |
Iron/steel could certainly be used as a scrubbing agent
for hands. Is that what this is? How tiny are you thinking? |
|
| |
Brillo pads: leave a used one on the side of the sink for
too long and it turns into a rusty mess. |
|
| |
Maybe high concentration of Fe+ ions has some
antimicrobial effect: Ag+ ions do, and I think Mg+, Zn+. |
|
| |
It could stain things quite badly. Tiny iron balls in any
significant amount will block your drains though. But hey,
you could probably unblock them with a magnet. |
|
| |
Ooh, your drain sludge is going to be an anoxic/reducing
environment, so you might get hydrogen sulphide, iron
sulphide... |
|
| |
Water pollution could be an issue if lots of people started
using this though. It might cause algal blooms in your
waterways and coastal ocean - I seem to remember that
iron filings spread on oceans is a proposed carbon
sequestration mechanism because iron is a limiting
nutrient in some oceans. Also anoxic environment leading
to dead zones. |
|
| |
But then, phosphates, nitrates etc...just as bad. |

Thank you [hippo], the funniest thing I've read in a very
long time. Still chuckling...hours later... |
