Copper. Not only is it extremely useful, I think it's the most beautiful. Got a 1oz bar of .999% purity. Any smokers here?

Hold copper on your tongue for 30 seconds and then smoke a cigarette. It tastes sweet.

I have no clue how anyone could believe that 60 billion Jewish people were gassed in the Auschwitz gas chambers shown in the picture in this post when these gas chambers are not air tight and would therefore leak out all of the Zyklon insecticide delousing gas, i.e. if all the gas leaks out of the gas chamber, that means that the gas would kill both the Jewish prisoners and their SS guards. See picture in this post.
