...behind my other login, even if it is kind of nice to have a member number below 4000. So, in honor of my two-thousandth post with this name, I give you a true landmark.
Plus I'll answer questions if you've got any.

Wait, I do have a question. What is the composition of Baking soda? No I'm serious. I know you're not a chemist, but it's killing me!

First of all, sensei, what is that?
Also, what is the secret to enlightenment. I know you're withholding it from me...
Posted by HollowEarth (Member # 2586) on :
sodium bicarbonate NaHCO3. sodium carbonate on the other had, Na2CO3, is commonly called washing soda.
Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :
Nice job, Hollow Earth. A landmark 600th post. About Baking Soda. ^_^

That is a picture of Half Dome, one of the more well-known landmarks in Yosemite National Park.

Can I reasonably assume that this thread needn't be archived?
Posted by saxon75 (Member # 4589) on :
I think that's a safe assumption. Especially if you're OK with making an ass out of you and mption.

do you really think you're funny?
Posted by saxon75 (Member # 4589) on :
Not as often as you think I'm funny.
Posted by celia60 (Member # 2039) on :
oh, it's true. it's all true!
Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :
So what if I never think you're funny?
Posted by saxon75 (Member # 4589) on :
You're wrong.
Posted by celia60 (Member # 2039) on :
so, what happened to the landmark you were intending to post?
Posted by saxon75 (Member # 4589) on :
I got lazy. And I decided that it was silly to try to hide from a landmark. If I don't feel like posting about it now, I won't, and I'll either wait until my next 1000 or until the muse strikes me.
Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :
Dang it. I hate it when I'm wrong.
Posted by JonnyNotSoBravo (Member # 5715) on :
Hmmm, I came in here because I thought someone was playing hide 'n seek, and they were tired of hiding, and I was gonna tell them, hey, after an hour you should just stop hiding because they've probably given up looking for you.
Now, I've become confused because sodium bicarbonate has only one carbonate and the carbonate still has the minus two charge as an ion just like in sodium carbonate when it dissociates, so shouldn't it be sodium hydrocarbonate, or sodium bicarbonate should be the name given to Na4(CO3)2 (if it exists)?
Posted by Shan (Member # 4550) on :
Nice pic - definitely worth a 1000 words. Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
The bicarbonate ion is also called hydrogen carbonate. It can be thought of an the combination of a carbonate ion (2-) and a hydrogen ion (1+).
Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
A landmark, jokes, the Funny, and some chemistry. This is a great, great Hatracky thread.
Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :
And don't forget the Pic.
Grats on the Landmark. Does this mean you can claim that landmark as your own personal landmark since it has chosen to reside in your landmark thread?
How much land would a landmark mark if a landmark could mark land?
Which landmark would Mark land if Mark could land a landmark?
