Ah~ The perks of being a lifeguard in NJ, I can show my certs and walk onto any beach free of charge now getting some drinks on that beach is a completely different story.. As far as I know there are no pools actually on the beach here though. On the other hand, my private beaches I guard where the super rich people live have like Olympic sized hot tubs which I'm lucky enough to be friendly with.I'm tellin' ya, become a lifeguard if you love the beach
To apply for a lifeguard position, you need to know how to swim well :P.That's where it failed for me. My bravura swimming style is "drowned shipwreck victim".

Salt is more deadly, being made of two deadly substances to begin with. Sodium and Chloride. People keep confusing sodium with salt but you need the chloride gas to get the salt. And what about water, which is termed Hydrochloric Acid. It's made up of two elements that burn easily with one of them being vital to sustaining a fire. Yet, when combined, they become fire's mortal enemy. It's like a wrestler goes to beat up a little person and before you know it, that little person has two more friends helping him out with kicking the wrestler's ass.

Water termed as hydrochloric acid? Never heard this one before...
Must be an obscure branch of chemistry.
Hardly. The only thing that "monoxide" tells us is that there is one oxygen atom. Certain combinations of elements react a certain way to certain things. That's what chemistry is continually trying to study; how certain things react with certain things.

I hate the way you cling to ignorance and pass it off as innocence
Yeah that'll hinder the process a bit
You can still become President!
And LinkX that's awesome, not random! lol
If I moved to America no doubt I would become President, but I'm gonna have to settle with being Prime Minister in Australia land.
Too bad you need Potassium to keep your heart beating.

You should be more afraid of Fluorine. That shit will fuck you up.

water is dihydrogen oxide.
lrn2chemistry.
and HCl is quite a strong acid.
and its chlorine, not chloride.
and sodium and chlorine are only deadly in large amounts; more than you could purchase without proper licenses. without either ion you cant function.

I know, right? I should be dead by now if I've been taking all my showers with hydrochloric acid.

This may sound extremely, extremely stupid, but I want to try acid at least once.

Best case scenario you get heart burn, worst case your flesh melts.
2) Some forms of Acid are vital for human survival.
In general, it's amazing all these things that would kill you if used wrong but you still need it to survive...
I said that once, and somebody tried to correct me. "You mean Carbon Monoxide."
"No, Hydrogen Monoxide. The stuff in that bottle you are drinking."
Edit: Quoted the wrong person...not sure how either...
True.

I would ask them how my foot would react to being up their ass.
Now THAT sounds more like physics.
