a rather strange question

<p>does anyone know what common (everyday use) powder, when applied on glass and added water to it, causes the glass to break?</p>

<p>talc powder </p>

<p>no im kidding, i dont know
can i tell you a joke though/</p>

<p>okay sure go ahead. :)</p>

<p>but does anyone else know?</p>

<p>Alright, you may think it’s lame but I seriously cracked up like 10 mins straight when my friend told me. </p>

<p>How do you fit an 18 inch wheeler through a 9 inch doorway?</p>

<p>divide the wheeler by two?</p>

<p>lol banedon yeah your answer seems logical</p>

<p>lol no
Take the H from through and the F from way</p>

<p>get it?</p>

<p>I am lost.</p>

<p>Yeah so am I.</p>

<p>Oooh I told this to sarorah …
“take the F from way”
but …
There is no F in way
now say it fast
There is no Fin way (eff in … you see?)
I didn’t really find all that funny but she seriously couldn’t stop laughing, and this was in the middle of class</p>

<p>okayyyyyyyyyyy.</p>

<p>but anyone can answer my glass question please???</p>

<p>Hahahahahahahah ROFLMAO oh my goodness it gets me everytime
Thanks for typin that man, I don’t think I would’ve been able to without crying
sorry banedon for taking over your thread temporarily, apparently you didn’t find it funny either lolz. i’ll try and ask someone to make it up to you (my chem teacher might know) if i remember, if no one here finds the answer</p>

<p>wait i think i get it. is it saying “there’s no f***ing way?” then what’s teh “H away from tghrough” for?</p>

<p>yeah, i get the effing way part… but what about the h from through? that makes it - troug</p>

<p>YES that’s it! The first part is part of the punch line. You could say anything, I chose through. </p>

<p>And guess what … I asked my chem teacher, just for you. She asked me if it causes the glass to break by heat, and I wasn’t sure so I told her I suppose so … she thought a bit and told me “Drain-O” (sp?) will probably work but to be careful and not get hurt . . I was already late so I didn’t bother telling her I wasn’t actually doing the experiment, but I HOPE this answers your rather strange question & good day to you :)</p>

<p>my theory was using sodium powder, since the reaction releases so much heat. but then again i could actually use sulphur trioxide and that’ll break the whole glass and poison me too.</p>

<p>um…i don’t know what Drain-O is. :o but thanks for the effort. and the joke. it was funny after i get it. :)</p>

<p>Hah. The joke. I think it’s one of those jokes that isn’t really funny except to a few. Like my other friend always always laughs when she hears the Pooh joke, but I don’t think it’s funny at all.
Why did Tigger stick his head in the toilet? He was looking for Pooh!
see what i mean…</p>

<p>Anway I told my chem teacher that it was a common household product which is what DrainO probably is, I think i’ve heard of it before … maybe used to clean bathtubs and such.
I know sulphur trioxide is poisonous, but I think sodium powder (just sodium) is too. I’ve never heard of sodium powder by itself, like I’ve heard of sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride, etc

But yeah, it’s too bad no one knew the real answer</p>
