Who else would notice but another person of culture? But, you were clever enough to consider that we have some actually made of acid, so I must dwell in envy.
I’m happy to see the effect of stomach acid on metal has been studiedscientifically. I didn’t really expect this to work but for thin metal it would be surprisingly effective (63% mass reduction of razor blade after 24 hours). Given 10 years...

This comment is really weird out of context in recent discussion.
Haha, yes, context.

I should have thought of #26. It’s sort of trivial since you have 10 years.
#44 is disgustingly clever :)
General spirit of #34 is also pretty neat.
