Here's a little something for all you Tang junkies
Qouted from Wikipedia:
"At one time, Canadian authorities attempted to deter addicts from misusing doses of methadone by packaging it in combination with Tang; this was carried out under the reasoning that nobody would be foolish enough to intravenously inject the combination. This was not the case."
P.S. Dont ever disassemble your Tang. It is highly deadly, and voids the warranty... forever...

Injecting Tang is also very dangerous, and the company is not responsible for injuries incurred from it's intravenous use.
It's akin to removing the brass rods on the sharpmaker. DON'T DO IT! :eek: :p

It's all that Tang in your bloodstream that's causing you to ask such questions :p

That makes me wonder, if we could do a side-by-side comparison of various cultures or nationalities, and discover which has the highest percentage of people who can functionally sharpen a knife to a true, sharp edge. (I don't mean simply something that will "get a cut done," either.)ghostrider wrote:I find it interesting how people of different cultures equate quality, or fit and finish of a knife. I read it somewhere (I believe in one of the knife magazines, but maybe on line) that some cultures (I think Asian) expect new swords and knives to not be so sharp when new because that is something that is done by the individual user. Getting a knife with an unfinished is expected, while getting one that is finished is unacceptable.
In our society the opposite is true. This is probably due to the declining number of people who have the skill to put such an edge on a knife.
I would hazard a guess that this skill is diminishing among the general population of just about all societies around the world.
I just wish we could somehow know who is the best at it right now.

Interesting thought, I'd add all industrial societies to your sentence however. But what does this have to do with Tang? :confused:peacefuljeffrey wrote:That makes me wonder, if we could do a side-by-side comparison of various cultures or nationalities, and discover which has the highest percentage of people who can functionally sharpen a knife to a true, sharp edge.

There may be a correlation between Tang consumption and sharpening proficiency.zenheretic wrote:Interesting thought, I'd add all industrial societies to your sentence however. But what does this have to do with Tang? :confused:

Not sure if Tang helps or hinders the ability to sharpen, more studies will be necessary :cool:

Tang tends to have a sharp taste the bites the tongue if you make it too strong. Playground Ninjas prefer strong tang 9 out of 10 polled. The extra sugar yielding more strength for sandballs being the primary reason.

He's probably talking about Trolls training with Sebenzas to be Mall Ninjas. They drink Tang to refresh themselves when they get tired(Tang beats Red Bull every time)zenheretic wrote:Uh which topic? Sebenza's, Trolls, Mall-Ninjas, Tang, or sharpening? :D
But why are they training you ask? Someone has to combat the centipede invasion, it's disrupting the picture uploads on the forum, so someone has to make a stand. ]http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c43/s ... -eater.jpg[/IMG]
It's like that SPAM image, I'll use any excuse possible :p

I think Sebbies are cool. It seems that you can easily take them apart and play with them and fiddle with them. They are well made of good materials. Cool folks own Sebbies.
Spydies are lean, mean cutting machines good for working stiffs like me that would rather spend there money on more important things than knives.
If I'm going to spend $500 - $1,000 then price I'm going custom with all the uniqueness, beauty and fit and finish that you can only really get with a custom.
But this type of discussion is fun as it is what makes a horse race.
