Then a closed flame will not exist for more than a second.

I'd enjoy watching your teacher's expression when you read that paper, SigInt.

I doubt that I'll have to read it-just turn it in.

[IceMedic]

precisely

[Kendrik]

Ah yes. That does sound entertaining.

[a_sigint_ninja]

Somehow I doubt the teacher would find it funny, though.

[The_Pendragon]

That makes too much sense. So, what is a closed flame?

It's an enclosed flame, such as in a oil lamp or a furnace.

[Lazarus]

You should tell her to lighten up and enjoy life - start finding humor in these situations.

Actually, no. You wouldn't want to get expelled...

[a_sigint_ninja]

No, I don't want to get expelled from the free college that the state is paying for.

[Lazarus]

Certainly not.

The state? Ah, I see. You mean US HARDWORKING AMERICAN CITIZENS!

(Actually, forget the "US" there and just think "THE")

[Kendrik]

You'd prefer the money go to someone's pocketbook? Education is probably the best possible thing for the State to put money into. Without education, things can never really improve.

[a_sigint_ninja]

And how many taxes do you pay, Laz?

[Lazarus]

I don't pay on a regular basis, just every time I get a paycheck from my employer(which can vary widely).

Good point, Xian.

[a_sigint_ninja]

Education is a priority, though some days it seems like it's just a black hole to throw money at.

[Lazarus]

If only it were a white hole, eh?

[a_sigint_ninja]

Funny. I'd like to know precisely what they spend it on before they're given more. 8O
