Topic: What's confusing you right now?

[SirBlaziken]

I was watching a video in science today, a guy dropped a hunk of sodium into a glass of water. It floated, which seems reasonable. Then the sodium proceeded to catch on fire.

Something catching on fire in water? Seems legit. :/

Why would the water stop it catching fire? Water only stops usual fires by cutting of the oxygen supply, and as Sodium reacts with the water no oxygen is needed, so the water wouldn't douse the flame.

I hope that made sense, or at least didn't confuse you more xD

^I get it now, thanks. I just felt like that was weird.

It was the purple flame that I found weird xD And when you see green flames and the like later on and I'm just like 'wut???' =P

My (computer) mouse was squeaking earlier!
I found that a little weird.

I still visit here most days despite having little interest in pokemon nowadays and not really posting that much?
I guess it's just habit now lol

[Kerou 犠牲]

I feel extremely tired but don't feel like sleeping at all

Had somewhat of an interesting day though I guess so maybe that's impacted it

I'm watching for Neighbours for the first time in over a year (maybe even 2 years wow)
Everything has changed so much
Entire families have moved in and out which is really weird
And Susan Kennedy is a jack of all trades
In the last few years she's been the principal of the local high school, the editor of the local newspaper and now she wants to be a celebrant and I can't remember exactly how many jobs she's done in her life (and I don't know how many times she can Karl have been married and divorced either)
I mean seriously she's like Ms. Rabbit from Peppa Pig
Not exactly happy with Zeke's I'm-visiting-for-a-week storyline but eh it was kinda adorable
Still think Home and Away is waaaaaaaaaay better
If we could pluck Zeke out of Neighbours-limbo and plop him into Home and Away I would be very, very happy
(as you can see I take my Australian soaps seriously)
(why have I posted this here no one cares about Australian soaps whoops oh well~~~~~)

(oh and I don't get why in England we're getting a break from Home and Away
When the next set of episodes is set in
Wait for it
England!!!
It makes no sense
People switch off for a while after a break
So the London based episodes might get skipped by a lot of people
Silly Ch5
Or whoever it is who decided that it was a good time for a break :| )

Went to the old man's yesterday and it was nice seeing them all (especially Jake) but it's left me feeling weird too. It's really hard to explain.

Sounds like the Vengaboys are saying "Going to e-pizza!"

The vengaboys songs are weird but this one just confuses me. Why do they pronounce it like "E-pizza"?
Its "I-beetha" isn't it?

Due to my heritage, I can respond to that question.

In Spanish, Ibiza is pronounced as "e-beetha". As I see, the problem is that "Ibiza" has been so imported that one has forgot how to pronounce it. In fact, if one looks further, one will notice that it should be written "Eivissa", the Catalan word. That double ass s, if stressed hard enough and between two vocals, can become a sound like "z". That confusion, as well as the standard English pronunciation, made a mess.

I have checked the group's origin, and it is Dutch. This is a peculiar accent in some instances, and that can drive to some funny noise.

What were you doing watching that video O_O

I'm confused that people are confused by The Vengaboys

I'm confused because you're confused about me being confused about the Vengaboys.
Ok, now I'm really confused! XD
