the weather is pretty hot today and i am dying!
Japanese Anime/Manga are awesome!
Most metals form carbides, but tin and lead are two notable exceptions. Perhaps their carbides exist too, but decompose to the separate elements at fairly low temperatures, below the melting point of the metals; and are also decomposed by water, like the calcium carbide of carbide lamp fame. That may explain the failure of all attempts to prepare them by direct reaction of the elements, or by reacting aqueous solutions of salts of those metals with acetylene or other carbides. (I don know whether the latter experiment has been tried with a polar but aprotic solvent, like propylene carbonate, in place of water.) There is however an isolated claim of a micron-thin film of PbC2 having been detected on the inner surface of a sealed graphite crucible that was used to melt a Pb-Bi alloy and allowed to cool down very slowly. If the report is correct, perhaps the carbide formed by reaction of the graphite with Pb vapor, when the temperature was too low to decompose it.
I think being exposed to fluorescent lighting for 8+ hours a day may be cancerous.

Hello Everybody 
Could it be any hotter?
I wonder what James Bond does to these girls after the movie/flirting ends. I mean they rarely show in the movie after the first one

I'm fucking noob
I should run tonight!
Today is a very hot day here!
Seriously lame performance from Oakland Athletics, Literally giving away a tying run in Top of 9th. They won in the end but that tying run and the deficit-reducing HR that forced extra innings wasn't needed at all.
