lol, I hope so. If only so I can read the stories in my book easily. They're very funny stories involving a number of characters who have endeared themselves to me.

Gunpowder was the explosive of the day for several hundred years, before they started making fun things from nitric acid. It's technically not even a real explosive because its shock waves travel slower than the speed of sound.

Typical composition: 75% potassium nitrate, 15% charcoal, 10% carbon (but I think there's a lot of different ones, and people use AN and chlorate and various other things.)

I think smokeless powders were favoured in the wars to stop the guns being located. That's cordite and not gunpowder. But it's a while since I read that book, so I'm not 100% clear on the details.

I don't think I'm capable of jogging for much longer than about 400m (my longest race at sports day). lol.

Well good luck! :3

Awesome! That's for the info!

It's a killer, isn't it?

Well, I shall go take a shower now! I'll be back soon

Cordite I think is something like guncotton… they may even be the same thing. Man, my explosives facts are really getting rusty.
There was NG and dynamite first (by Nobel) but that was notoriously unstable, so TNT and Lyddite came about - amatol was invented in Britain due to a wartime shortage of TNT, so they mixed it with AN to make it last longer. (Amatol also very effective explosive)

Nowadays there's all sorts of fancy mixtures and of course nuclear bombs, which are kind of scary when you think about it. o.o

Oh, Fierlin, I forgot to give you this link:

It's a little slide show thing of certain words of phrases and differences of American dialects :3 enjoy!

lol, what awesome maps.
I had a look through. I think many of the things I say are consistent with New York-ish area so you're right about the english influence there
However, I can't say I've ever heard of a "traffic circle" before…
I'm also a fizzy drinks and trainers person.

Fizzy drink? Is that what they call it in Australia? XD I actually call them sodas. Dunno why I never learned to say 'pop'

Roundabouts: me too! I didn't think there was any other name for them.

Well Australians call them soft drinks, I say fizzy drinks which is a legacy of my time in England… Pop was always decidedly American to me.

It's nearly impossible to order a normal coca-cola down here
"I'll take a coke"
"What kind of coke?"

lol yes, with all the new varieties, variations seem to be popular - we have this sweet shop at Rundle Mall that sells tasty things from America (and England), and there are SO MANY types of cheerios. I was floored the first time I went in. There are only two types here...

What kind of cheerios do you have?
I knew there were many kinds, but I only get honey nut, or just regular

Geography paper 1 done! No more populations in transition - for evahhh! (Well, not literally, but you know what I mean. )
There was a fantastic long question about the environment. As long as it's not human geography, I was quite happy with that.


Oh look, my post count is palindromic. I must take a screenshot.
