Fire is always good....even at the expense of a calculator.

Yes, fire good. Fire very good.

-W-

no!

Oportet ministros manus lavare antequam latrinam relinquent.

I think that's, "it behooves the minister to wash his hands before he leaves the bathroom" or something similar. I'm unsure, as I haven't started doing my Latin homework for the day. Oh well....

"no" meaning fire is not good if it involves letting the magic smoke out from a semiconductor.

"Magic smoke"?

-W-

Semiconductors work with smoke. When the electronics starts to emit smoke, then you know it's broken and leaking.

It makes perfect sense. Now don't confuse causation and association :).

So, then it is not a magical 81 God? Oh well. I will start dreaming of something else.

-W-

You'll have to ask Joey about that ;)

Ahh, but ritual inhalation counteracts that. The power of an 81, and the power of the dark spirit combined makes... a dark spirit that can add pretty big numbers, yeah.

That is absolutely hilarious.

Especially since he used a thermite reaction, lots and lots of fire, fire, fire, fire, fire *slap* Hu? Oh, very good idea to do that on bricks to make sure it wouldn't set the ground on fire. Who ever did that knew what they were doing...fire, fire, fire, fire *slap* ...

"Employees must wash hands before leaving the bathroom."
as seen on many warning signs in fast food joints.

LOL!!!

YES! FIRE! Hey, that is pretty funny. I like burning and blowing up things. Now if I was only good at Chemistry...

two words
fransium and water

(make sure your behind something when u do it)

That would be cool, except that it's VERY illegal to have francium, and the supplies of it are small and controlled. Sodium is almost as fun, and legal. :-)

i heard sodium is very fun

where can you get sodium?

You can get all the supplies for roasting your own TI-82 at http://pyrotek.org

They may have sodium there too, dont know.

yea! all i need to do is get some and omg im gunna burn something

Sodium, Lithium, and Potassium all undergo a similar reaction (I especially prefer Potassium because it not only burns but explodes). Really, anything from that period (except Hydrogen) would work if you could get it...

yeah, thats is exactly why they are stored in oil. K is awsome, but there is no way I'm getting near more than a half a cubic centmeter of it withouth the porper protection.

you might confuse people by using the word "period." Periods run horizontal, the word you were looking for is group or family. And i dont think lithium works either, i think it just melts when it hits the water and doesnt do much.

Hey...that's three words.

I dunno...seems like a waste of a perfectly good...TI-81...oh wait - that's an oxymoron, isn't it?

The inherent value in TI's first graphing calculator is more than enough to save it from fire, I think. If it was a TI-73 Explorer, or a TI-89 (if you could afford it), then I say sure, fire it.

Excuse me... did you just say that it would be okay to blow up a TI-89? You need to be blown up.

i concur

No! If your TI 89 gets destroyed, you'd be compeled to buy a new one, and then you'd have a perfectly good reason to get a TI 89Ti. (since you need a new one anyway...)

Still, it's a waste of a perfectly good 89.

Heck yeah! I have one of the very first HW1 89s! There is no reason in my rational mind to set it on fire.

Hey Joey, I'll swap u my HW1 TI89 for a TI89ti (NOT BURNT), so u can burn it....

I'll act as middle man on that transaction if need be. Burn the new calc, its pathetic

Yah, burn the 89, get a v200. It 's the only real way.

TI-81's average about $13 on eBay... it's not a big deal.

and in 50 years...

$113
