Doctorb Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 The increase in temperature is due to the enthalpy of fusion, not the heat of combutsion. I thought you would have known this. Quote
Gary_Yngve Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 The missing person is probably dead by now. Too bad he was stupid enough to go out alone and without sufficient equipment. Quote
iain Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 I finally summited, though my elation was tempered by the multiple chimney rappels (possibly with the EDK, possibly not) with pack that awaited. I have not felt this much elation since last Friday's heated Scrabble fest. My fingers were sore from a marathon rock polishing party earlier, so I had difficulty grabbing my scrabble tiles efficiently. However, I was ultimately triumphant. Quote
Doctorb Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 The perfect catshiteat post contains: -esoteric knowledge -an air of supremacy -condescension bordering on insult Quote
iain Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 veggie, I would be destroyed in a scrabble contest, though I do have a geology degree gathering dust. Quote
vegetablebelay Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 Sorry, that was my second entry for the contest. Quote
iain Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 ah, humor is often lost on the dumb  My second entry: "Here's a little trick I learned in the scrambling 101 course" Quote
Dru Posted January 14, 2004 Author Posted January 14, 2004 "Iain = Catturdeat?" this is the best entry yet Quote

iain Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 Cordelettes must have low angles between the pieces and tied with a correctly-dressed double-fisherman's knot (aka the grapevine knot)... and, must be composed of 2,3 diphenylbenzopolymerate-polypropelene, though some related polymers are acceptable in a pinch. I carry a test vial to determine the chemical composition of any rap station in my alpine chemistry kit Quote
Bug Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 Jay Inslee spoke to me!!!! I don't know what he said but he looked right at me and words came out of his mouth. Quote
ScottP Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 Â What is up with those window treatments? Quote
thelawgod Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 Jay Inslee spoke to me!!!! I don't know what he said but he looked right at me and words came out of his mouth. Dru said this is a post like catbirdseat contest, not a post like Beck contest--get it right!! Quote
allthumbs Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 I wonder what ever happened to Foster Brooks, er, I mean Beck? Quote
Dr._Ben_Krazy Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 I'm proud of my pocket protector! Quote
chucK Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 Â I'm curious as to whether such perfectly rectilinear anchor placements are optimal. To my way of thinking, pits with irregular sides may be more practical in the field, and may actually increase the shear strength. Quote
