Look at me when I am...

Wayul, fiddlesticks! This one is just like the one that was posted back here . Could this be our long anticipated time loop? Or is it just an error made by the Professors Foglio during an attempt to post late at night? -- Billy Catringer 07:28, March 12, 2012 (UTC)

Technical note: If you try to peek before the page is up the ggsite os can give you a page whose name closely resembles the the one you peeked at. This is automatic spelling correction. If it has lots of pages it gives you a list but if it has just one it gives you the page. Later when the page is up and you try to look again the Firefox browser checks its cache of pages and serves up the same one it gave you last time. At this point pressing the refresh button will allow it to forget the cache and get the fresh page the one you want. Happens to me all the time.

:::Thanks, Rej. I would not have figured it out if you had not pointed this out. I had downloaded both images and compared them and still could not see a difference between them. -- Billy Catringer 22:16, March 12, 2012 (UTC)

I swear, now Gil is just screwing with her. I bet he didn't even really need any of those things; he's just trying to confuse her until she stops throwing lab equipment. —jdreyfuss 11:35, March 12, 2012 (UTC)

"Remember that time..." Ah, yes. Good times, good times. LittleAlvinMaker 11:54, March 12, 2012 (UTC)

:Huh! ...distracting a warship Captain by using her as a lab assistant? He deserved to blow himself up. --Gsulli7369 13:24, March 12, 2012 (UTC)

My take is Gil is working on taming Bang similarly to how he trained Vole. With Vole it took three shots to the head with his own gun. Bang is just catching up with what the Baron told her just before they set out for Sturmhalten. Gil is having an extended moment of awesome. Letting us see he is fit to run an empire.

*guffaws* This is so much fun to watch! Nothing can touch a powerful Spark trying to complete an experiment! And I agree with Rej's comment above me. ~Mysteria~ (talk) 21:27, March 12, 2012 (UTC)

The chemicals[]

I can't find anything on "silver of Vixonite", nor on "Vixonite", nor on "silver of ___". Sounds nifty, though.--Bosda Di'Chi 14:55, March 12, 2012 (UTC)

Most of the chemical/alchemical names have been made up and often either describe their use, like Ichor of Somnia, or are puns on the current action. A vixen is a mature female fox, and proverbially feisty; kind of like Bang. —jdreyfuss 19:16, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
According to Urban Dictionary, "vixon" (with an o) means "sexy beast"... ~Mysteria~ (talk) 21:27, March 12, 2012 (UTC)

The closest I can get for "calixia oil" is "calix", which seems to mean "cup" in Latin, and means "a flower-shaped or funnel-shaped structure" or "any of the branches or recesses of the pelvis of the kidney into which the orifices of the malpighian renal pyramids project" in English. ~Mysteria~ (talk) 21:48, March 12, 2012 (UTC)

Sounds vaguely naughty.--Bosda Di'Chi 17:50, March 13, 2012 (UTC)
A calyx is that green covering a flower bud has just before it blooms. I suppose in some species it contain oils.--Gsulli7369 23:19, March 13, 2012 (UTC)
