since I wussed out on my posting and everyone technically lost in the 'price is right' style 'how many posts will aske have..'  contest...


i present a new one


Identify the material depicted in the image below....

(1st to do so will receive a useless prize from me)

Electrons.

nope, I intentionally didn't post any orbital contours
 ;D

Cooking Spray.

No, I meant that if it's a digital image, it's electrons.

Do you drop hydrogens in your modeling, or are all atoms shown?

hardyhar  mr. dirty mouth lawyer man.


fortunately for me,  my intentionally strict verbiage in the o.p.  disqualifies your treachery.

Astroglide.

that would be a bit too easy now, wouldn't it ?    ... ummm....   no hydrogens in the structure (if it's pure, perfect, in a vacuum, etc)

i can't say why that's so funny.  :o

nope.   :)

Are you serious?  It's painfully obvious that's not Astroglide^TM, but is indeed KY^TM.

 ;D

Gasoline.

tetrahedral crystal lattice....so....diamond?/

This ain't Star Trek!   [sm_chairshot]

........or is it......... a cellular peptide cake...with mint frosting?

it's also sp3 hybridized  ;)

HAHAHAHA  at this exchange.

MP  might be getting somewhere

Stroh's thinking of "analine".

I'm guessing Rice Chex

if it's not the 0.5 karat thing that sal's got on her finger, then i dunno what it is.   [sm_dontknow]  ;) ;D ;D

Clearly it's 4 dimensional chain mail worn by lead singer Byron of the death Metal band Bal-Sagoth, Byron is a Gemini and his interests include: Dark Age & medieval battle re-enactment, history, mythology, the occult, Star Wars, archaic weaponry, video games, films, comic books, world domination.

Zirconium Oxide    ;)  :D

It's Borg and you are going to get *fudge*ed.

Looks like a cube of Prozac to me.

You see what you eat.
 :o

How does that make you feel?

ok, ok   i'll give you a hint


a lot of this material comes from New Jersey, while it heavily influenced a New Zealander

Peyote.

Jersey.....must be either bull*feces* or hair grease.

What do I win?

a smite

Cool ;D

You win our #3 export: A free ass kicking

It would help if you told us what the gray thingies mean and what the yellow thingies mean.

they mean 2 different atomic species

more hints needed?

Hexamethyledisilizane?
C4?
Jimmy Hoffa?
Depleted Uranium?

Organic or silicate?

neither

ok cheaters...   it's somewhere on this page
 ;D

That narrows it down. I was going to guess Illudium PU-38.

I once had a Space Modulator made out of that stuff. Never did produce that Earth-shattering "Kaboom" I desired though, so I traded it in the swap shop for some Top Flite Tours. Added 20 yards, and so forth.

Damn, I thought it was that Udranium stuff they put into Ping putters or the unobtainium from oakley shades.

well, no winner on this one

Guess I will have to make something easier for contest #3.


the answer was Sphalerite (Zincblende)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphalerite

Hard to believe that a website with all of 37 posters having >50 posts, there aren't more mineral crystallographers aboard.

I can't believe I wasted all those years modeling organic molecules.

i used sci-industry standard colors for Zn and S.

 ;D

On a similar note, look at the above lady.

What was the name of the dag that her third husband had between the ages of 7.1 and 19.5?

For extra points, how did he (horribly) die and how many muppets came to the funeral?

If I had to guess, I'd say his radioactive testicles got the better of him.  Although he certainly seemed proud of them while alive, so you have to give him that.

OMG!!!!!!!..........You boy's are really nerds!!!!! [sm_shock] [sm_shock] [sm_shock].........And your proud of it!!!!!!! :o :o :o :o :o :o :o
