  1. Hate to be picky, but did classical six string guitars exist in the 7th century CE? And a lot of moslems think that musical instruments are works of the devil? Just askin…

  2. This is an accurate depiction of what is going on the the United States today. The Republicans have been caught in a purity spiral since 1980.

  3. Ethanol C2H60 liver metabolizes to Acetaldehyde , then to Acetate…
    Methanol CH3OH liver metabolizes Formaldehyde , then to formic acid..
    Here endeth the chemistry lesson….

  4. M27:
    Methanol metabolizes to formaldehyde…
    Technically not untrue, but most all of to Blindness, and in higher doses to Rigor Mortis.

  5. JTW, Aye. Even small doses of Methanol can cause serious organ damage caused by the toxicity of the formic acid. Acidosis? From memory, not google. Ethanol requires larger doses over a smaller timeframe, but can itself cause death. My advice would be to drink neither. However, in moderation Ethanol can be a most pleasant drug…

  6. Also, from memory, ethanol is an effective antidote to methanol in that it slows the decomposition of methanol into toxic form-aldehyde, so that the organism can break it down without fatally breaking down itself. Always a good outcome.

    Why street bums go into ER claiming to have ingested methanol, because the best cure is a wee dram, Vermouth or other fortified wine.

  7. When flimshagger the mighty…..drew the universe on a balloon and started to inflate it with their mighty bellows….
