Bullshit and BullshittersWe've had questions about lies and liars in the past, but this time we're asking about the sort of fantasist who constantly claims they've got a helicopter in the garden or was "second onto the balcony at the Iranian Embassy siege". Tell us about the cobblers you've been told, or the complete lies you've come out with.
Thanks to dozer for the suggestion

Here's the science bitAccording to the solubility curve for Sugar, it is very temperature dependent.
You can dissolve about 180 g sugar / 100 ml water near freezing (or about 1.8g/ml)
You can dissolve about 500 g sugar / 100 ml water near boiling. (or about 5g/ml)
So, assuming the tea was hot, and say 300ml for a cupful, you can theoretically dissolve around 1.5kg of sugar in a cup. 10 spoons is about 50ml or 35g.
Your stepmum is clearly something out of a fairy story (is your real name Cinderella?) but she might have been right on this one.

Presence of dissolved tea solids and milk may skew your data a bitbut essentially you're right.
As was stepmum. Mad too, by the sound of it.

Mrs Vagabond occassionally asks me to tell new friends or visitors some of her favourite stories.It's not infrequent that people call bullshit at me (only a few weeks ago, the response was "Fuck off. Fuck off! FUCK OFF!" as I reached the climax of the nude poster story), but I assure you each and every one is damnably true in every detail.
EDIT: Incidentally, your signature is absolutely superb.
