The science of Monkey Island: can grog dissolve a metal mug that fast?

If the grog contained enough mercury, it would dissolve the pewter mug. Mercury also eats thru solid aluminum pretty quickly.

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, what color is the tree?

> we use the apparent rate of mug deterioration to estimate the proton supply required by a simplified corrosion model

Damn I love HN.

In MI1, the only annoying part was that "wood forest path" thingy in the beginning (when being in the village), and later on the world wasnt pretty anymore when being on Le Chucks Island

Monkey Island is the best adventure game.

Clearly, it only works in-game because SCUMM, the mysterious ingredient, is installed alongside the game. :-)

This is what the so-called Frontier is all about.

These models sure are put to good use.
