Balta1701 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I walked past a person wearing a Cubs hat yesterday and biked past a person in a Twinkies hat about 40 minutes ago. Both times I just smiled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about the numerous awards Kerry Wood has amassed. Most simulated strikeouts, most simulated wins, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the 1907 and 1908 trophies turned to dust, that's why you can't see them either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, that wouldn't actually happen...unlike most metals, like Iron, which react with oxygen to give an oxide phase and energy, gold is actually stable at room conditions. For those who understand what it means, the free energy change of the reaction Au + x O = Au2O3 has a positive free energy of formation...which means you literally need to heat it in order to make it rust. This is why, for example, when gold is found in nature, it is actually found as metallic gold, and not found as an oxide, like aluminum which is found as Bauxite for example. Of course, they might have made the tropies back then out of Iron, at which point none of that would matter. But ours looked nice in gold.
