- The phrase "no man's land" refers to the unclaimed or disputed territory between opposing armies.

"Condensed" milk is actually thinner than regular milk! If you look at the "Greek" roots of the word, it explains it all!
Con- means not, thus "condensed" means not dense! Dense milk is 4 times thicker then regular milk and is often compared to "heavy water".

Condensed means to reduce to a more dense form.
Heavy water has nothing to compare to milk as it is water enriched with an isotope called deuterium.
Hey Johnny, you do know what a dictionary is? These guys are not where you get real facts.In fact, these guys are irresponsible anti-educational crimminals.Pathetic Posers.
They imply bigoted racial insinuations-You do think of Lazy, gambling, drunkards when you think of American Indians? Don't You?
and surely you know there are no physical withdraws from meth addiction?
Jon and Britt are two really funny boys.
Maybe it hit me wrong. When researching for my little boy's research on American Indians we came across the lazy, drunk remark and being American Indians ourselves the humor escaped me.
I just fear others may take this as reliable information instead of a sophmoric,irresponsible,fake,unfunny site claiming to be a legit resource.
the asbestos thing is all wrong dude asbestos is not highly flammable, take it from a Stoser like me
