- newmanships 12y agoNeat to see something about King Narai on here. I wrote a little bit about him here: http://newmanships.com/2014/05/11/king-narai-festival-in-lopburi-thailand/ http://newmanships.com/2014/05/11/king-narai-festival-in-lop... (with pictures of the festival in his honor).
- fspacef 12y agoCouldn't this be accomplished today by adding tiny specs of gold to nanobots and drinking a glass of them? idea based on: http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/29/tech/mci-nanobots-eth/ http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/29/tech/mci-nanobots-eth/
- riffraff 12y agowhat I didn't get is: why drinkable? Edible gold leaf would be a lot simpler to make, preserve and transport. (trivia: you can actually buy edible gold leaf for the cheap these days, i.e. you can get a sheet to top a cake for 1-2$)
