schadenfruste?
Wait... *googles* ... schaden = damage, freude = joy... ummm... frustrafreude?

I wonder, is there some other form of the word schadenfreude that applies to frustration?

In fact there are only 3 real reasons people become chemists, they like one of 3 things: colors, scents, or explosions. Guess which one is me.

Irving where?

Agreed!

I know baby ducks don't USUALLY drink milk, what I'm curious about is whether or not ducks could digest it if they did happen to drink milk. Would they be ok? Or would they get symptoms of lactose intolerance?

Interesting. Thanks for the link.

I think it's interesting that everyone agrees that gold has intrinsic value. Why though? I mean think about it. Yes, it's fairly scarce, but what do you do with it besides use it as currency? Jewelry only uses gold because of it's status as a valuable material (and because it doesn't corrode). I realize there are myriad technological applications but those only use minute quantities of gold. So when it comes down to it, it seems that gold has value mostly because we all agree that it does, just as in the case of paper money. If society collapsed the only things with real value would be those that are edible, useful as building materials, useful in acquiring food, or useful in defending oneself.

That was my first thought too, @skittles beat me to it.
