Andy, I moved your question to this thread: http://forums.njpinebarrens.com/showthread.php?t=5623

It's not a site thing.

If I'm going to eat something so obnoxiously unhealthy, it had better be chicken fried steak slathered in white gravy.

I think dumping bio-hazardous waste in the ocean is illegal.

Oh, apparently you can get this in America. It's called the Burger King Quad Stacker. I could imagine trying to eat that after a long hike. I'd be dead in an hour.

Happy Birthday!

Hungry Jack's is the equivalent of Burger King in Australia. 1000 calories! I can't even imagine that. Who could eat this thing?

Well, Apple is not without it's faults as well. This is my second time switching -- Leopard is good enough to keep me around. :)

Thanks, Jerseyman. So you think that an earlier cold-blast furnace could have produced "glassy" slag depending on the composition of the iron and flux?

You can buy Dells at Best Buy and Wal-Mart now, I think. I switched from Dell to Apple. :)

Gabe and I have been having some discussions about iron slag. There's furnace slag and there's forge slag. This article also talks about foundry slag. From what I've seen, there's two types of furnace slag. Slag that I've seen at Batsto, Hanover, and Federal Furnace (Lakehurst) looks like...
