The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell?
Its about a man named Rainsford, he falls off of a ship and into the amazon river. He finds land and discovers a huge chateau(mansion/castle). There is a man named General Zaroff there who takes Rainsford in and clothes/feeds him. Zaroff tells rainsford about his hunting experiences and how hes read rainsfords book on hunting, then he tells rainsford that he became bored of hunting animals so he invented a new prey Humans! Then he tells rainsford he either must be beaten/tortured by his servant who is an expert whiper, or he will be given a few hours to hide on a small island of forest and then be hunted, and if he is not found in 3days he wins. So rainsford of course chooses the later, sets a few traps and wounds the general his hunting dogs and his servant. At the end he wins and returns to the mansion and kills Zaroff and sleeps in his bed. *And to the answer below mine - dont be an a**hole and give me a thumbs down then go copy your answer verbatim(word for word) from wikipedia!
What's the difference between club soda and sparkling mineral water?
In some common usages, there is no difference. Both just refer to Carbonated water.More reliably however, club soda is carbonated water to which very small quantities of additional mineral salts are added to gently nudge the flavor in a particular, barely-perceptible direction. Most people would be unlikely to notice a difference unless actively trying to detect it. Sparkling mineral water, on the other hand, is a water bottled from a source that already had naturally-occurring minerals and carbonation predissolved within it.
Why do all glass bottles have textured bottoms?
To prevent the bottles from easily sliding on or off a table. As a cold glass sits in a room temperature environment, the glass begins to collect condensation. This condensation tends to slide down the side of the glass and collect at the base of the glass. During this time you’ll likely have picked up the glass and taken a few drinks and put it back down. Well if you put the glass on a flat smooth surface, the condensation will collect underneath the glass creating a layer of water between the glass and surface of the table. As science tells us, this lubricated layer allows for the glass to be easily slide with far less effort than it would normally take without the additional layer of water.With that in mind, the bottom of bottles are given ridges to limit this collection of water under them. So as condensation collects on the bottom of the bottle, the ridges ensure that liquid does not build up under the bottle ultimately creating a layer between it and the table.Now if you’re referring to the dots/bubbles often found on the bottom sides of the bottle, well those are there for a different reason. The common misconception is that they specify how many times the bottle has been recycled or reused. Let’s squash this right now. Most glass containers are not reused (from the standpoint of a manufacture). Rather they are melted, combined with other bottles, then reformed into a new container. The truth to the bubbles is that it lets to manufacture know which set of molds the bottles were made from. That way if they notice a discrepancy in one particular set of bottles down the line, they can track the bottle back to the original mold. It should also be stated that not all glass container manufactures use this method, some containers have script on the bottom of the container which lead back to the original mold, as opposed to the bumps on the bottom side of the container.
Why is the bottom of a typical plastic bottle not flat?
Thanks for the A2A,Other people have pointed out the main reasons from the design point of view why the bottom of the plastic bottles normally used for packaging beverages are curved instead of being perfectly flat. The main reason offering structural integrity.However, one of the other main reason is from processing point of view. Plastic bottles are prepared by a process called blow molding. In blow molding, a plastic parison (hollow tube) is extruded and placed between two halves of a mold and blown under pressure to produce the bottles. In order to seal the hollow lower end of the parison, a ‘pinch off’ is present in the mold which bends the lower hollow end and flattens it. This generally leaves a mold mark/ weld line at the bottom of the bottle.source : Blow Molding | Kyoraku Co., Ltd.This extra pinch of molded plastic is irregular and if the bottle is placed flat, the stability of the bottle might be affected at times and also spoils the aesthetic look of the product. So, having a concave shape like this below both serves the purpose of hiding the pinch off mark and also provides stability at the bottom for the bottle.Source : Stock Photos, Royalty-Free Images and Vectors | Shutterstock
Why do plastic bottles have grooves?
I was asked this exact question at my interview for the master's program in product design at Indian Institute of Science, they asked me to give as many reasons that come to my mind. Here are the best of my guesses:- The mineral water bottle is made of 'thinner' plastic than the one used for aerated beverages. The reason for this choice can be the fact that water is not sold in pressurized bottles hence thinner plastic is economical. This weakness is structurally made up for by designing the bottle with grooves. - Crushing a mineral water bottle is emphasized more than usual since refilling, resealing and reselling these is way easier than fizzy drinks which would require some level of infrastructure. The grooves allow the bottles to be crushed in a way which renders them useless for re-use. I read somewhere that you should 'vertically squash' the bottle after uncapping it to properly dispose of it.- Grip: This is the first thing that comes to everyone's mind but I think its absence in bottles for cold drinks makes this an incorrect assumption. This was the counter question by one of the senior professors in the panel.Epilogue - I did not qualify for the course because I totally bombed my written DAT.
Can any liquor be used as a Molotov cocktail?
Archer is a comedy show, and this use of a "Molotov Cocktail" is mostly a joke. One of the reasons that it's funny is that a Molotov Cocktail isn't actually a cocktail in real life, any more than an "Irish Car Bomb" cocktail is an actual explosive device. It's a metaphoric name, not an actual drink.In real life, a Molotov cocktail is made by placing an inflammable or explosive substance, such as gasoline or napalm, in a glass bottle with a wick. There are other techniques and constructions, but this is the basic setup. Other usable fuel liquids might include diesel fuel, methanol, turpentine, jet fuel, or any kind of petrol. Usually thickening agents are added, such as Vaseline (petroleum jelly), foam, tar, rubber cement, or tire strips, so that the burning substance would stick to the target. But because Archer is a famously heavy drinker, they've had him use a Molotov Cocktail that's an actual cocktail. That's the gag. But as it happens, you might be able to create a working Molotov cocktail using liquor, if you absolutely had to. As long as it burned freely, it would probably stand a chance of working. The type of liquor (rum vs. gin vs. vodka, etc.) doesn't really matter as long as it burns. This is mostly a function of its alcohol content (i.e. proof). So grain alcohol would probably make a pretty good choice. Also effective would be high proof rum (such as Bacardi 151), or any significantly overproof spirit. It wouldn't matter much whether it was gin, whiskey, brandy, or other, as long as its alcohol content was high (which would probably please Archer, too). Of course, none of this is funny once you've had to lay it out there. (Are we still not using "phrasing"??????!!!!!)
