Halide
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
Halides are a set of substances that actually bear little resemblance to each other. The only reason they are grouped together is because they all come to exist in the same way, from a place that Oscar Wilde once described as "Totally my attic." The word halide comes from the roots "halogen" and "ide". This, naturally, means that halides result when halogen lamps are used on the 15th of March.
[edit] Mechanism of origin
Because halogen lamps are wonky to begin with, when the supernatural forces present on the ides of March react with them, a "Calvin and Hobbes" atmosphere is attained at a concentration of approximately 15 million C&Hs per square inch. If metal is present within the Calvin and Hobbes atmosphere, it will be transformed into a colored, organic-looking crystal. Some of these crystals may be burned to produce intoxicating fumes. The presence of oxygen will cause the air to crackle with electricity until the atmosphere disperses, at which point it will leave a pungent smell. Other compounds may variously catch on fire, leaving powders, turn blue, or begin to bleed iridescent liquid. All of these are examples of halides.
[edit] Uses
Nobody really knows what halides are useful for. Except for the metallic ones, those you get high on. Then you can always annoy your friends by inviting them over after a pungent oxygen incident. Other than these, however, halides seem to be pretty useless and are just one of those pointless phenomena that started appearing just after Jesus destabilized the orbit of the moon.
