wanky stepfather thinks all liquid contains water
I had a proper nasty stepfather. He liked to live the cliche to the full. He was very bitter because he had stupid parents and he was SO FUCKING INTELLIGENT because he had a 1st class honours degree in law. Amongst other things. Actually he was just bitter about everything come to think of it...

I remember at the age of about 10 coming across this belief of his that it's only possible for anything to be a liquid if it contains water. This included molten steel, oil, everything. And when it's steam or ice, water is still a liquid, just acting like a solid or gas. That's why you can still see steam.

Of course, me being only 10 and a little shit, my opinion wasn't worth tuppence ha'penny.

He had a few other rather interesting ideas about how the world works, but that was my favourite.

Ask the twat to tell you the difference between a liquid and a fluid
his head may explode

and if you ask him to explain viscoelastic fluids, you'll be peeling him off the walls

Ask him to stand over a steel smelter
and drop a bucket of water into the molten steel.

It'll just mix with the water that's already in there, right?

urk
now for some reason I have the mental image of him coagulating back together afterwards like the bad terminator in T2... but otherwise I quite like the idea of him 'sploding.

I just love lawyers arrogance, especially when miss-understanding anything technical.
He was sort of right about the steam though, what you can see has condensed back into water.
