Oh my gawd, oh my gawd, oh my gawd!!! I found one! A misspelled word!! Put there (on OUR website) by Mr. Chris Sypolt. Mr. Chris “super particular, resident grammar freak, spelling perfectionist” Sypolt.
According to him, we are now selling
“C101 Oxygen Free Eelectronic Copper.”
It’s been there for months…no YEARS! But I found it! Ha HA!!!!
TAKE THAT SYPOLT!
Just in case he’s read this before you have…here’s proof.
Oh, it’s beautiful. He ALWAYS catches us…but I’ve caught him! Bwahahahahahahaha!!! Life is good.
A special thanks to the customer who called in and asked what the GP means in our teflon sheet GP skived.
The answer is “general purpose”
We have so many products that use acronyms, and we’ve become so used to using them, that we forget how important explainations can be.
If it helps, here are some other fun acronyms and their definitions… PTFE - polytetrafluoroethylene, the official scientific name for Dupon’t trademarked name “Teflon”
Looks like Amber has decided to do some bribery of the ol’ Art Department recently. They were under specific instructions that until we have shirtless equality in this nation, clothed pictures of all illustrative pictures are required. I find it highly discriminatory that she’s allowed to call up pictures of “shirtless Matt”, and I am not allowed to drop in pictures of “shirtless Megan”.
This is as close as we’re going to get. We still like our jobs. - Art Department
But that’s about as far as I can take that particular rant. Let’s work on a different one. Metal. It was pointed out that in the movie “Fool’s Gold”, Shirtless Matt finds a beer can with a metal detector, but that this shouldn’t work, because metal detectors don’t pick up aluminum.
Au Contraire, mon frere
I’ve done a lot of research on this, which translated to reading Wikipedia is the blogger’s best friend.
Even better is YouTube - somebody made a metal detector using nothing but an AM Radio, a pocket calculator, and some scotch tape:
McGyver Lives!
Basically, a metal detector works by a) creating an oscillating magnetic field in a coil, and b) measuring any variance in that magnetic field when it passes over an object. While it is common knowledge that most metals are to some extent conductors of electricity, it is not as well known that each metal has a different influence upon a magnetic field.
Here’s the funny thing. Metal Detectors are not limited to finding only magnetic items. They also work on all types of metals, including Aluminum, Stainless, Copper, Brass, and Bronze, hence the name. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a Plastic detector, so our offerings in that area may have to remain unlinked-to. Yeah, like that’s going to happen
So, as implausible as it may have seemed, it is perfectly reasonable that the metal detector in the movie picked up a beer can, regardless of how cheesy the movie actually is.
