I'd call this out as bull, except I know how goddamn insane orthodox Jews are about their Kosher stuff. It gives me a headache sometimes.

Facebook's SDK and API were written using the 1000-monkeys-1000-years theory, but some of the monkeys died, and they haven't had a thousand years yet... It is that bad...

Natural gas has no odour. The smell is added artificially so that leaks can be detected.

...and that smell usually comes from something like t-butyl mercaptan, or other similar sulphur-based compounds, because they smell strongly at very low ppm concentrations.

In a similar manner, 'denatured alcohol' (or 'methylated spirits') is ethanol with an unpleasant taste and/or toxic additive added artificially to prevent people from drinking it and thus evading the astronomically high taxes paid on alcoholic drinks. A common additive is methanol (hence 'methylated spirits') because it is extremely toxic, causing blindness (10mL) and potentially death (30mL).

If you ever get Methanol poisoning (mostly for ilegal alcohol drinks) drink Ethanol (legal alcohol drinks) immediately, Ethanol is the antidote for Methanol.

This thread is about facts.

I actually agree with your OPINION, but don't insult everyone's intelligence (including your own) by calling it a fact.

Fact: a vast majority of the suit shots in Iron Man were actually non-CGI. The suits were mostly real, constructed from lightweight polymers and such.

Source: the blu-ray extras.

Fact- until then, no one that uses marijuana can complain about robbery and/or violence or any other type of intentional crime. Because users are drug dealers partners.
