maragine

[memo]

I have noticed when washing a large margarine tub in soapy water,if i add some soapy water then seal it .When i shake it up it swells,but when i try to open the lid it sucks in to almost a seal.Does anyone know what causes this.Thanks for listening.

[Josh]

This is in hot water, yeah?

[Matthew]

Could be a chemical reaction?

Unfortunately modern science fails to explain events like this. This is what is so great about the electric universe theory! I think plasma was most likely involved, turning the margarine container into a superconductor. This would accurately explain your difficulty in opening it.

and there is the associated mystery of the wormhole that appears in the washing machine....devouring 1 sock from every pair...the odd sock syndrome :blink: maybe something to do with the plasma field in the spin cycle.

But I think the margarine container has been thermally expanded and the lid less so. Someone please correct me if am wrong.

[kashi]

Excellent point Damien! I think you're on to something. It all makes sense. The electric universe is indeed responsible for missing socks!

This is the sort of thing scientists get grants of thousands of £ to research... like why a biscuit always drops into your tea when you dunk it... I kid you not, that was paid for by a grant...

[Chook]

Ahhh!
Why do my reading specs get fogged up when I sip my tea? :rolleyes:

[Tinaa]

Because Chook, when you breathe out all that hot air, it starts condensing on your glasses. :P Oh, you are drinking tea? :D

[Chook]

It ain't hot beer luv! :P

[damienpaul]

i wonder if we could calibrate the fogged up glasses, the missing sock and the superconducting margarine container with the electric universe??? are they connected...

the truth is out there somewhere :blink:

*singing* Things are getting strange, I'm starting to worry...
This could be a case for Mulder and Scullyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

:D

Singing:
"Swinging in the brain ... my sock is down the drain"
"The plasma and butter ... has screwed me up again."
:D

Encore fellows!

[damienpaul]

Singing:

One, two, The electric universe's coming for you
Three, four, better lock the door...

:lol:

[Chook]

Where's Josh-strap and his Elastic Band? :blink:

Kashi - accompaniment please ...

Thanks guys and girls, i knew if i posted the right question it would bring out the real you.This has been more fun then i can remember.

Funny you should mention that Dips -I just read an article in New Scientist that said that researchers got down and dirty and determined that penguins expel their waste at almost 60kPa! :blink: :blink: However, although funded, the use of this research has never been determined. :lol: :lol: So research into the properties of margarine lids and odd socks could well be a winner!

[DippyHippy]

Exactly!!! What use is penguin poo to anyone????

defensive missile system? When are they gonna give funding for more useful research?
