What do those little silica packets do? (1 Viewer)

[Malcolm R]

I thought they grew on cacti, that's why Arizona and New Mexico are so arid.

this thread is getting, er, super silly, yes?

 

[MarkHastings]

Third base!!!!

I kept thinking, "Damn, 2nd page and no one has mentioned Ice 9 yet???"

John Watson comes to the rescue!

Mike Barnhill, ever heard of Ice 9?

You are right. They do grow on cacti. Does anyone remember studying the great silica flood which occurred 20 million years ago?

60 - 70 million years ago as the Rocky Mountains were formed many cacti were trapped and encased in rock. The rock perfectly preserved the delicate silica packs which grow on the cacti. Around 20 million years ago a cataclismic event occured which released the water from these packets in an enormous flood which created the Grand Canyon.

If you get enough of these silica packs, maybe you can perform a cheap breast surgery.

Silica Implants?

 

[Tony Whalen]

Bad idea Mark. Remember, rumour has it they absorb moisture. So the breasts would end up looking like dried-up prunes.

 

[MarkHastings]

Tony, Silica absorbs moisture???? Where did you read that?
p.s. Would Latino women get Salsa Implants?

 

[Bob Graz]

Of course you can find silica in Arizona, that why it's such a dry heat.

 

[Kevin T]

Where does the silica put the moisture? Are they some sort of gateway to a moisture-laden other world?

ever seen waterworld? costner knows what's up.

Tony, Silica absorbs moisture????

Oh, just a theory I've heard bantered about there and there... not sure where...

 

[Kraig Lang]

I was wondering whey I hadn't had a decent cup of coffee since they put these out with the Equal.

Guess what I found in my bottle of allergy medicine! A tiny cylinder labled....Silica GEL!!! Is this some new, more powerful form of silica? I'm afraid to try it, I fear that it might absorb all the water in the universe. Do you think there is any risk of addiction? I must remember the words of Uncle Ben, "with great silica comes great responsiblity." Help me out guys, what should I do with this newfound silica menace?

If silica absorbs moisture, what about silicone?

I had a girl with implant a while back. I got her into my waterbed and during the night the bed sprung a leak. By morning, she looked like Morgana.

 

[MarkHastings]

By morning, she looked like Morgana

I have NO idea who Morgana is, but considering the set up you just made, I can only imagine.

The Kissing Bandit
WARNING Mild nudity in link!

 

[Patrick Sun]

Morgans was the big breasted kissing bandit. She'd go on the baseball fields and find a ballplayer and kiss him, and then be led off the field by security. Her bra size was probably 48FFF.

Where does the silica put the moisture? Are they some sort of gateway to a moisture-laden other world?

Quantum physics theorizes that other dimensions exist simultaneously with us. Theories show that silica is most likely to become a gateway between us and the parallel dimensions. That's why we send the water into it. The water will drown the monsters over in the other dimensions.
Oh, and I support the sock-to-coat hanger theory. Couldn't find any clean socks this morning, and there was a coat hanger laying on the floor in the living room again. Fits the facts!

The silica with alergy medicine is put up your nose to drain the moisture until the medicine kicks in. Only you have to pull it out after 20 minutes or your brain will dry up.

 

[Clinton McClure]

Silicon chips are really good with salsa, by the way.
