Nah, that's just the electricity leaking out... sometimes electricity liquefies when it's cold enough. ;)

Not if you look closely. Salt forms cubic crystals, sugar forms hexagonal prism shaped crystals.

I knew a guy once who was actually named Tom Morrow (as in Thomas Morrow), and he actually went by Tom.

We are all STILL humans, you should be able to be different without being a dick about it.

Unless perhaps they make a good point and you actually change your mind. But I suppose that change of mind then becomes what you were going to do anyway.

I do this to my own baby and he just looks at me like "What? But! You can't do that! I'm the one who cries!"

Everyone is at the center of their own observable universe, the difference is infinitesimal, but technically your particle horizon changes with your location.

But it DOESN'T run on saltwater. Saltwater is merely the electrolyte. It runs on the anode, a piece of metal that has to disintegrate in order to provide the energy. Also, this isn't a new invention, it's just a battery.

Yes, that is what it's supposed to mean, however, I doubt very much that blood has the appropriate heat absorbing characteristics to properly temper the steel. If I remember correctly, a heavy oil is used for the final quench of the hot piece in order to achieve a good temper.

However, if we allow the use of the entire body, not just the blood, then: Mass of iron in a typical (70kg) adult human body = 0.0042kg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_of_the_human_body ...
(1.45kg)x(1enemy/0.0042kg) = 345 enemies

(1.45kg)x(1enemy/0.0042kg) = 345 enemies

I get a different result. Assuming a mid-size longsword weighing 1.45kg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longsword … Average blood volume of 5L http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_volume … Concentration of iron in blood at 51.5 mg/dL http://www.jbc.org/content/104/1/157.full.pdf … Ignoring the small percentage of carbon in the steel… and arranging so units cancel to leave number of enemies…
(1.45kg)x(1000g/1kg)x(100mg/1g)x(100dL/51.5mg)x(1L/10dL)x(1enemy/5L) = 56311 enemies
