>Today, February 11th, is the 45th anniversary of the Islamists toppling the monarchy in Iran
are you fucking kidding me???
"monarchy" of iran?
you mean the CIA puppet dictator Mohammad Reza Pahlavi
who was nothing more than a token royal in title only
until he was installed as ruler after the DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED PM MOHAMMAD MOSADDEGH WAS OVERTHOWN IN 1954?
because he dared to think iran's oil profits should stay in iran?
if you put lipstick on a pig
it doesn't magically look beautiful
it looks like a shallow, vain, vacuous, narcissistic pig
anyone collecting 24026 notes?
or should i just come back tomorrow?
>silver is one of the three base metals
nyet
silver is NOT a base metal, it's a precious (noble) metal
the base metals were iron, copper, tin, lead
> it's airy fairy stuff … it, not my description
but it's still wrong
just sayin'
you can tell the metallic elements that were known to the alchemists by their symbols (latin names)
iron = Fe = ferrum
copper = Cu = cuprum
tin = Sn = stannum
lead = Pb = plumbum
antimony = Sb = stibium
these were the "base" metals that alchemists hoped to transmute into gold
the noble metals were
gold = Au = aurum
silver = Ag = argentum
mercury = Hg = hydragyrum
there WERE three of those
