Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I think I want to put my eyes out. I really don't go anywhere to talk on the internet except here, TWOP and livejournal, but I have become obsessed with Gossip Girl, and I have read everything on TWOP, so I ventured out and there are twelve thousand posts with exclamation points and all caps and emoticons, when I want to talk about the symbolism of Blair's headband. Why do I like teen shows?????

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Aluminum does the same thing (without needing to be in an alloy) - a thin layer of aluminum oxide quickly forms up exposure to the air, which prevents further oxidization (i.e. rust).

Go, go, chromium oxide!
This somehow got the song "Air" from Hair in my head... Hello, carbon dioxide....

I just saw that! It says, "According to the apparent thermodynamics of the reaction, an aluminum airplane could dissolve in a rainstorm ...[but it doesn't] due to the formation of a thin, adherent layer of aluminum oxide." So... sometimes oxidation is what protects it from corrosion, sometimes oxidation is the corrosion? I'm a little confused.

For anyone who missed last night's Daily Show, Samantha Bee has a statement to make, with her husband at her side.
I didn't realize that she and Jason Jones were married until last night. I thought the pearls were just the right touch for him.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I love Gossip Girl too, Sophia, but I have to avoid the talk about it places that aren't my friends list.
We should start talking about here! I think smonster and a few others watch it too.

I really hope I'm never involved in a stupid, embarrassing scandal. I'd have to stop watching the Daily Show.

How's this for a theory - if the oxide has a strong enough bond, oxygen won't migrate from the already formed oxide to the element to continue corroding, but if it's weaker it will?
