An article I wrote about 'power'

Re: Fan Fiction
Here's the best non-pornographic fanfic I've ever read. The only one too. Basically, it says: let's take Neon Genesis Evangelion, and introduce it to Warhammer 40k. The result is an excessive amount of awesome. Warning: it's very, very, VERY long, and not yet concluded. Oh, and you might want to be ...

Re: Turn sand invisible!
First off - the sand didn't dissolve. In fact, the solution was made so that it won't interact with the sand in any way.
Secondly, making a video of the procedure would take about two hours (with getting the materials ready and all). Sorry, but I'm too lazy for that.
