Runescape Learned Me a Few Things.

[Clan_Chat_Op]

I remember in chemistry class, the teacher asked if anybody knew what bronze was made out of. I did!

 

 

 

He also asked about steel another time.

 

 

 

I'm still waiting for somebody to ask what glass is made out of...

 

 

 

Also, pineapples grow on the ground. (Jagex didn't know this at first) Those kids over at ebaumsworld... were perplexed, lol.http://forum.ebaumsworld.com/showthread.php?t=144540

 

 

 

 

 

Anything else you picked up from runescape... because although this is only a game and things are made up... a lot of it is true.

[mrmyk]

[Ltje]

As I'm dutch, my english really improved at some points. :)

 

 

 

Especially about medieval things :P

[remoteman]

lol exactly with the smithing part of it, i've answered that questions a few times maself.

[indalecio]

RuneScape taught me about the corrosive and explosive properties of limestone. It taught me about navigating with a sextant. It taught me what you get when you mix nitroglycerin with charcoal. It taught me not a few things about the English culture. It even taught me that you take lemon with Earl Grey, not milk.

 

 

 

Oh, and it taught me to let sleeping dragons lie ...

[Kill_Life]

Our teacher Chemestry asked about atoms.

 

Didn't know how to translate the 5 (from stuff like H2SO3 but with 5's)

 

Then I tought about the Pentagon (MOM), yay, I got it right!

 

Not that I would have failed if I had it wrong...

My friend plays and he merchants in real life. Goes to shops, buys packs of polos 18p each and sells for a cool 25p in school. Lucky dude.

[Clan_Chat_Op]

WEll, I never knew that glass was made from sand... thats cool :)

[Umega]

I'm not sure, but to make glass you need chemical called lime which I think is from seaweed.

Contrary to popular belief, lime does not come from seaweed, it comes from limes.

 

Also it has nothing to do with the glass making process.

 

 

 

In fact, did you know that the natural color of glass is green? It's because of iron impurities in the sand. This is the same reason emeralds are green. They're just lumps of quartz with iron impurities in them. The same goes for sapphires, except those also have cobalt. It's all very interesting, really. All a diamond is is quartz, but with carbon atoms arranged in perfect squares, making it nearly impossible to scratch. (Since the atoms are so well reinforced, you see.) That's actually a common misconception, about diamonds being hard. A diamond is hard in the way that you can't scratch it, except with a few very resilient elements. You could take a diamond and crush it with a hammer, no problem. You could crush that mother into a little pile of powder and blow it in your jeweler's face, but you could try all day and never scratch it.

Ya I found out about bronze and what not too lol. Plus with the chemistry section of for the initiate armor, I know stuff from that too. Also maybe Runescape should still teach how to use grammer.

And you'd be making all of 7p a transaction ...

 

 

 

He should buy very badly damaged used cars off e-bay for as cheap as possible, then scrap the outsides and sell the parts. I made a few hundred dollars that way when I couldn't pay for my college books.

I'm only 13, so I don't really want to buy cars off e-bay, oh and he buys about 100 packs a day, making ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã7 a day, ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã35 a week, and ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã1820 a year. A lot for a 13 year old :D

Actually I'm only 13, so maybe buying cars off e-bay is a little advanced, but my friend buys about 100+ packs a day so thats ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã7 roughly a day, ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã35 pound a week (5 days to a school week), and roughly ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã1800 a year. That's quite a lot for a 13 year old.

Its not lime you need... its soda ash. But lime is used to make the process go a little smoother... something about the compound liquifiying... and lime fixes that. When glassmaking first starting out... lime wasn't used... but today in big factories, it is.
