Well we are going a tad off topic here, It started with who "invented" Chess and now its turned into an Ancient history picture show. Persia at this point is basicly the Islamic Rep. of Iran. So its a case of "what have you done for me lately" and this is what it has become:


If I had to choose between Ahmadinejad and the last eight presidents of the United States, I'd choose Ahmadinejad

Iran is one of the most interesting, and influential countries on earth!


 Here is a pm some kid from Iran sent me...you judge:

"hello.im sorry for iranian people who are think I.R.IRAN is good!we wanna IRAN.I.R. should delete!"

I liked the opening line of that story,"a team of researchers have produced a battery that is powered by urine."

Why do reporters seem to get dumber and dumber?  How can the electrolyte be considered the power source of any battery?  It would be nice if reporters did the tiniest bit of research before putting pen to paper.

 




Reminds me of a Dilbert comic about reporters: "You can work, or you can get drunk. But the pay is exactly the same."

Come on, you asked, he told you. Be gracious about that.....


  I was being facetious, but I guess it was over your head.


Because it was blindly dimissive, haughty, pretty racist, and rooperi is a nice sort of chap.

theoreticalboy

But yeah, piss batteries.  I'm totally down.

bigpoison

Speaking of piss batteries:  I can tell from the photo that copper is the cathode?  Anybody know what the anode is?

I've always wondered how the first dude smelted iron as it is not naturally occuring in an isolated state like copper, gold, and silver.  You reckon they were burning rocks for fun?

 Racist? which race are you referring to? (this should be good)

theoreticalboy

Sigh, fine, nationalist.

theoreticalboy

Or culturalist, maybe.  You dismissed a historically significant culture with a sneering comment, at base.
