Formaldehead Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 In the Book of Twight, there is a picture of his partner rappelling off of a giant ice stalagmite. "We have no idea where the feature came from." Twice now, I've had ice stalagmites sprout up from individual ice cubes in my ice cube tray. They've formed these features from below, seeming to grow up, rather than the normal stalagmite formation through deposition mechanism. Now that I've found the answer to Twight's mystery, should I write a book about "Medicore Alpinism"? I'll autograph each copy purchased through me on this website. I'll even make T-Shirts. Takers?

MrDoolittle Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 But you haven't found the answer, you've just encountered it in another form. And besides, your measley phenomenon is easily explainable: chest hair in the icecube trays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 What about Medio-Core? Medio-core, it's not forsaken the music they're makin' will leave you with a feeling of indifference How was the band? They were OK (Ohhh-Kaaaayyy, allll-riiiiight) they played the songs I knew they would some old, some new the same formula stays true we can't concur it's mediocre Chorus: Sing, sing a song make it simple so all the kids can sing along sing along the risk keeps growin' the melodies they've stolen remind me of songs sung in the '70s you might fool the kids but you don't fool me have you ever heard of somethin' called aboriginality? is it absurd to compose music no one's ever heard pre- dictability like a bosom will comfort the-e-em my one true foe L(owest) C(ommon) D(enominator) MEDIO-CORE! it's underpowered the riffs are all deflowered it's spreading faster than british tooth decay (MEDIO-CORE) "Are you ready to rock?" "How y'all doin' tonight?" You condescending fucks make me wanna laugh and puke at the same time I'm one to speak this song sounds like fifty you've heard before Medio-Core (Chorus) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen this too. I think that differential cooling on the exterior creates internal pressure that forces the liquid H20 out through small fissures in the surface, at which point it freezes. I think that this dynamic probably occurs anywhere ice envelops liquid water... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually most dense at 4 deg C when it's in this weird slushy kind of icy kind of state. I guess I don't understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice-cubes freeze from the outside in, and the expansion - I would bet - creates additional pressure on the liquid water in the interior....

bunglehead Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Really? Ice cubes freeze from the outside in? Because in my freezer, I can have a thin layer of ice on top of not yet frozen water, which would seem to indicate that they freeze from the oustide in, and not vice versa. (that's my big college sounding word for the day, vice versa) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that this dynamic probably occurs anywhere ice envelops liquid water... No, no, no. That's all wrong. See, I was there and we get to the top of this huge serac and Mark says, "hey, how about we get outa here, this climb is way too easy". So, I'm like, "yeah, its pretty lame let's just rap our way down" so we turn around and there's like, no rap anchors anywhere. We were so scared. One minute we're having a great time, the next, here's Dr. Doom rearing it's ugly head. So with a surge of adrenaline, I totally flip out and chop the shit out of the big serac and carve it into the form of a big icicle and stab it into the snow over where it would be useful. Mark was like totally pissed and was like "hey man, that's not cool, you just wasted that whole serac and now it's gone for future generations to climb" . He was so pissed that he even decided to spite me and leave me outa his book despite putting a picture of the icicle I carved in there. I guess I'm too extreme.

Beck Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 water isn't slush at 4 degree celsius, that's almost fourty degree american! Water becomes fraziil at about a half a degree cent, or so, but ice is less dense than water, thats for sure, so maybe water is densest at 4 degree cedlsius but it sure isn't slushy- we'd surf 3 degree celsius lake superior and ice was not an issue.
