No Chemist is a British term. We use it all the time here in Blighty. Wonder what drugs he's getting.


a bit of a unexpected development. Robin says he's not British.


EDIT: Robin just got home. A rock with a piece of paper wrapped around it was just thrown through his window. He's gonna take a picture and upload it.

Actually, it looks like english in a weird font....

I can read the first three lines. It says "Hello, Robin Thatcher. It is TXK KXT again. I am always watching"

The last two lines are hard to make out....

 		The liquid from the paper is burning Robin's skin. I've told him to try putting them in lukewarm water

Good job on the speed of that translation though. I think that's how we're going to have to deal with these. Have one or two people concentrate on the message and the others interact with the characters. (I think my first aid training kicked in because my first thought was Robin's injury) Smile

 		Ditto on what grindboy is saying when possible. Wondering what sort of chemical that was and how far TxKKxt will go? Shocked

 		Yeh trying to look up chemicals that are available from chemists that could cause major skin irritation. I'm thinking Hydrogen Peroxide which (according to wikipedia) " is an aggressive oxidizer and will corrode many materials, including human skin." Of course its used in blond hair dyes.

Link to the COSSH data sheet on Hydrogen Peroxide: http://msds.fmc.com/msds/100000010225-MSDS_US-E.pdf

The only thing is Hydrogen Peroxide needs to be about 20% to burn skin. The stuff you can get from chemists is only 3%

You can easily get 35% Hydrogen Peroxide because its used in food (diluted of course)

Sounds like a good plan to me, and good job to those who tranlated the message.
