Ask a physicist anything. (2)

To clarify, a figgy pudding is a Christmas pudding with added figs.

I'm not too sure what an American fruitcake is though...

Something that makes you think what the hell was the person who concocted it thinking.

How's the weather Wiccan?

Ever witnessed an unusual natural phenomena of any sorts?

I used to think I had, back in the day, which spurred my conversion to Wicca (hence the name ). But nowadays, I'm sceptical about whether they were genuinely supernatural, or just wishful thinking.

As for unusual natural phenomena... I've seen triple rainbows, supercooled water, microwave plasmas, shooting stars, etc. All very, very cool.

It's snowing!

Says you whose country invented spray-on cheese...

Did you know there is a food called 'fluff'?

Have some fluff.

I call it Christmas pudding. It's alcoholic! And we pour brandy on it and light it, just to make it more alcoholic.

Is it melting?

 

[Wiccan_Child]

Is it melting?

I'm tempted to say 'no', but this is a physics-y thread, so one must be accurate about these things...

It's not melting per se, it's just been doused in delicious brandy. That said, it's very hot, so I daresay some solid part of it has become liquid.

I love that on RITZ crackers.

Fluff? In a jar? Is it like candy floss (fairy floss or cotton candy to you foreign types)?

Apparently, Yanks can't stand the stuff. So to my American brothers and sisters: have you ever had it? If so, what did you think? If not, do they even have it on sale in your area?

Looks like Christmas pud to me, and blessedly fig free.

We actually have some of that in the kitchen.

It's like marshmallow but creamier.

Reminds me of a cheesy Sci Fi Horror flick.

"fluff is people! FLUFF IS PEOPLE!!"

So it has evolved over time from figgy pudding to soggy pudding?

Hope it's not intoxicating, otherwise you might not be able to eat and drive.

That sounds good

 

[dunjunn]

Awesome. Wish we'd get some here.

What are your thoughts on Albert Einstein as a Physicist and a HomoSapien ha ha?

and thanks for answering my questions.

It's snowing!

So... it's like when you stick a marshmallow on a stick and put it in a fire and it's crispy on the outside gooey on the inside... and 'Fluff' is permanently gooey marshmallow guts?

So it has evolved over time from figgy pudding to soggy pudding?

Hope it's not intoxicating, otherwise you might not be able to eat and drive.

It's not too intoxicating, though I wouldn't recommend driving if you've drowned it in bottle after bottle brandy...

That sounds good

It's bloody delicious .

What are your thoughts on Albert Einstein as a Physicist and a HomoSapien ha ha?

I think he is the smartest man who ever lived, and a testament to what evolution can fashion.

and thanks for answering my questions.

Xmas questions are just as fun as physics questions .
