so because of the low melting point, the pewter liquifies when placed in the sand under plywood on the beach?


Looks like he has a little propane camping stove, you can see it very briefly at around 8 seconds.

alright, i'll ask it: what the hell is a hexagonal pewter stool?

*edit* oh, it's a stool in the shape of a hexagon, made from molten pewter.....patience fail.

thought hexagonal pewter stool was some crazy science instrument....used to measure....i dunno, i failed science class ok! >=(

New Millenium Cyanide Christ

I'M A CARNAL, ORGANIC ANAGRAM. HUMAN FLESH INSTEAD OF WRITTEN LETTERS.
I REARRANGE MY PATHETIC TISSUE. I INCISE. I REPLACE. I'M REFORMED.
I ERADICATE THE FAKE PRE-PRESENT ME. ELEVATE ME TO A HIGHER HUMAN FORM.
THE CHARACTERS I AM, MADE INTO A WORD COMPLETE, THEN I'LL BE THE NEW NORM.

SELF INFLICTED FRACTURES. I REPLACE MY BONES WITH BARS;
ALUMINUM BLEEDING OXIDE; THE DRUG OF GODS INTO MY POUNDING VEINS

(A HUMAN PUZZLE FOR ALL TO SCORN. NO FACE. NO BACK. DIRECTIONLESS.
MY SCARRED EDITION I'LL DISPLAY; THE ORGANIC WORD FOR NOTHINGNESS)

MY RECEIVING EYES EXCHANGED WITH FUSES; BLINDNESS INDUCED TO PREVENT DESTRUCTION.
CERAMIC BLADES IMPLANTED PAST MY RIBS TO SAVE ME FROM THE DUES OF INHALATION.
I TEAR MY WORLDLY USELESS SKIN. STAPLES TO PIN IT OVER MY EARS.
NON-RECEPTIVE OF UNGODLY SOUNDS - I DISABLE THE AUDIO-GENERATORS OF FEAR.

HEXAGONAL BOLTS TO FILL MY MOUTH, SHARPENED TO DEPLETE THE CREATOR OF ALL VIOLENCE;
WITHOUT SPEECH THERE WILL BE NO DECEIT

(MY FEET I CRUSH. THE FLESH I CUT AWAY, SO AS TO NOT PRODUCE THE SOUND OF THEIR PRESENCE ON ROTTEN GROUND)

BAPTIZED IN VITRIOLIC ACID. A FINAL TOUCH. A SMOOTHING OF FEATURES.
COMPLETION OF THE GREATEST ART; TO CAST THE GODLY CREATURES.
HUMANS, ONCE ASTRAY; MADE DIVINE. STRIPPED OF CONGENITAL FLAWS.
WE'RE INCANDESCENT REVELATIONS IN A WORLD OF DARKENED FORMS.

(CONFIDE IN MY NEW AGE DOGMA. SWALLOW THE INDOCTRINATION. YOU'LL COME TO LOVE IT HERE,
THE SUICIDAL ATMOSPHERE. LET ME INTO YOUR COMMON MIND. I'LL PLANT MY THOUGHTS INTO ITS SOIL.
WALK AMONG US SELF-MADE GODS, DEIFIED THROUGH THE PAINS OF SELF TORTURE)

DISCIPLES, COME JOIN WITH ME TO SAVE A FAILED HUMANITY. FOLLOW THE GOD OF CYANIDE INTO THE NEW ETERNITY.
BEHOLD; A SACRIFICIAL RASE A CLEANSING WORSHIPPING OF PAIN.
THE NEW MILLENIUM CHRIST HERE TO REDEEM ALL FROM LIES

(I'VE COME TO SAVE YOU ALL. I'VE COME TO LIGHT YOUR WAY)

Congratulations on the shiny red crystal hexagonal thing!

As a kid, I used to keep freshwater fishes like Bettas, goldfishes, tropical (Angel), tiny frog (from a tadpole), cra(w/y)fishes, etc. I probably have old photographs/photos. buried somewhere from the 1980s/80s. I used bowls, hexagon tanks (small and huge), etc.

I have to say, I like the hexagons. I didn't at first, but it does seem to make the game have more directions and more movement options...

I love how the muzzle of the rocket launcher is hexagonal. Low polygon count.


Hrm? They are like that.

Though, fluids don't compress so they don't behave exactly the same, but they are rather similar.

liquids don't compress, gases do. Liquids and gases are fluids in different phases. If you compress a gas enough, or you cool it down enough, most of them will become liquid. And if you lower the pressure or heat up a liquid enough, liquids will turn into a gas! But for the most part their dynamics (the way they move) can be quantified by the same set of rules.

Not to be ignorant, but I would have thought scientists would have discovered this earlier. Is this the first recorded time that this has been done? I mean, obviously I wouldn't connect jet steams of water with Saturn, but it seems like somewhere someone would have tested this before.
This brings up some other interesting topics. Saturn is referred to as a "gas giant," but would the gasses have the same pattern as water? Also, this pattern is 2 dimensional, essentially on a flat surface. The haxagon on Saturn is probably curved, so I wonder how it is formed. Probably a similar concept, with the center gas rotating faster than the outter gas. But I am a noob in highschool, so I have no idea. If anyone can enlighten me, I'd appreciate it.

Gas is a fluid...water is a fluid. The both fit into fluid-dynamics so they should follow the same pattern. It will work in 3 dimensions as long as you have ring of slower moving fluid with a circle of quicker moving fluid inside of it, I'd imagine. Just so long as there isn't anything going on above or below the pattern that would disrupt the "jet stream".

Oh and about it being "curved"...who knows. Saturn's might be a planar cross-section. Another possibility is it IS curved but the size of the phenomenon compared to its curvature makes the curvature negligible.

Quick, someone! Add Boards of Canada's song 'Turquoise Hexagon Sun' to the video for background music. (:
