I don't know if this has been said, but pure water is not conductive. However, regular water is conductive because of impurities. Make RuneScape Great Again usually on at 3:00 PM PST

Ah it was something interesting I quickly skimmed, and pardon me for a mistake since chemistry isn't my forte, and I haven't taken the required chemistry courses for my major yet. I probably misheard what somebody said on this. What I should've said is that pure water is a bad conductor. Whatever the case is, I found that the conductivity of pure water is 1/(1x10^6) of that of sea water. At that point wouldn't the current there be considered negligible since it's a very small amount (lim x->00 of 1/x=0)? Make RuneScape Great Again usually on at 3:00 PM PST

-Agricultural pH-

The stamen and the carpel can be altered. When pigments in plants experimented with in the lab, colors of the genus can also be changed, creating a whole new variety.

Changing the pH or acidity level of the soil in which a specimen is planted, can also change the color of the plant measures the acidity of a solution meaning the soil. Seven is the pH level in pure water and tolerance where neither acidic nor basic.

Light can affect the color change of a plant.

Someone told me that deodorants that have ''Aluminium chloride'' is not good for the health.
By buying deodorants without containing Aluminium chloride is better.
I have done some researches but chemistry is not really my strong side :P :P :P
How many much more do you want?
:P :P :P

The boa constrictor's scientic (Or latin or binomial if you prefer) name is boa constrictor!
This is the only living animal which has this. There are some very close ones, such as the Lynx (Lynx lynx) and the Western Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla) and the Western Lowland Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla). There are several plants which do have the same common name as scientific, such as aloe vera.
(Also, writing the word gorilla often enough convinces you that you've spelt it incorrectly...)

Contrary to popular belief there are only a handful of poisonous snakes. I seem to recall the Japanese grass snake as one. This is because of the confusion between the word poisonous and venomous. In simple terms, poison is caused by eating or touching whereas venom is when it is injected (such as by bite). As such, a majority of "poisonous" snakes are actually not poisonous, but venomous.

The distinctive smell on circulated coins is not metal. It is the smell of the oils from the many hands which have handled it, decaying. (Well, it's a little more complex than that, but in the most basic terms, the fact is correct).

Unlike the meteorites hitting Gielinor atm, many meteorites are not hot or burning masses of fire. A majority are actually coated in frost, caused by travelling through space at just above absolute zero (-273 degrees celsius). If you were to touch a recently crashed one, it's more likely to be extremely cold to the average temperature (room temp... but outside? :P ) where you are than burning hot.

The Sun is actually white, not yellow. Atmospheric scattering is what causes it to appear yellow. Atmospheric scattering is also what causes the sky to appear blue.

Not necessarily scientific...
Napoleon was actually taller than the average Frenchman at the time. He was around 5'7". A popular theory as to why we believe he was small is that he was often accompanied by his Imperial Guard who were often selected for their height, many reaching 6' and beyond.

Not scientific at all, but a bit of amusing mathematical logic.
Mathematical proof women are evil.

Let's say women take up time and money
Women = Time X Money

As we are often told, Time equals money (Time = money)

So by substituting in, we can get
Women = Money X Money
Women = Money^2

We also know, money is the root of all evil. (Money = [root sign]evil)
Therefore: money^2 = Evil

Women = Evil

I'd like to point out I'm not being gender-ist or anything, there is "mathematical proof" that men are lazy. I just can't remember it. :)
