They didn't call it Epsom salt, but magnesium-something. Tasted like lemons, but only required one swallow. Compare that to some liters of seawater.

Epsom Salts = Magnesium Sulfate.
My "stuff" was about 70% Sodium Sulfate and 15% each of Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate.
Being an ingredients reader since I learned to read, I looked at the other contents - which included a lemon flavoring and sweetener. I suppose it was more palatable. Just not possible to drink it quickly enough as it seems to fill the mouth, throat, and all, very quickly. Anyway, your stuff tasted like lemon because the lemon'ed it for you.
There really important thing about dentists and proctologists is to never mix up their office locations when in need of their services.
You are mistaken as the gerbils in question were hatched in-situ.

Ah ha. Gotcha !
All my previous replies were a Turing Test.
Based upon your answers, I'm afraid you failed.

Thank you!
I'm pretty glad about that ... I didn't like the solution at all!

Well,
I guess this one was for me. I spent all last evening before bed playing with gauge symmetry transformations and various projections of the Gosset polytope. Nothing related to work... I am just trying to figure out how our universe might work.
I was quite surprised to see a geometry related CCC this morning. I solved it as ellipse just like @OriginalGriff but decided to not post the answer. When you told him it was wrong I took a closer look.
It's super wierd to see a CCC related to something I was doing right before bed.
Best Wishes,
-David Delaune

Rolos as a real world example of the shape. That's brilliant, but now I want some.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Just as soon as I can get there.
Where is "there" do I hear you ask?
Constanța, Romania.
Yes, I'm going to be a SysAdmin, with the beach within shouting distance.

|

Won't that make you a SeasAdmin?
Good luck with the new post - hope it goes well!

That sounds nice. I'm looking at moving into a similar direction (Sysadmin, moving away from development as my primary duty).

Perfect torture. I like that. You have to sit in a hot (or freezingly climatized) room full of computers all day and get to see Babewatch right out the window. You can't even turn it off.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
