There are also supercritical fluids - fluids that behave in a nebulous area between liquid and gas; achievable at high pressures.
They use supercritical carbon dioxide to decaffinate coffee beans. It's a supurb organic solvent.
Here's a full list of phases of matter:

Most of those are just phases of plasma, still cool though.

"What?"
"THERE ARE FIFTEEN STATES OF MATTER, DICKHEAD! BOOYEAH!"

Just a little quickie.
I've noticed that the unintelligent humor thread has been much more active than the intelligent humor thread. And the intelligent humor thread isn't as intelligent as it implies at times... ... ... Nuff said >_>

That was a hard-hitting political statement riddled with satire.

I spent 11 straight hours yesterday from 4pm to 3am studying Quantum Mechanics. How's that?
Anyway, Heisenberg and Shrodinger were driving in a car to see the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC). As they were approaching the facility, they feel a bump.
Shrodinger asks, "What was that?"
Heisenberg turns around in his seat and looks back. "I think you ran over a cat."
"Is it dead?"
"I can't be certain."

That would be a lot funnier if I knew who Shrodinger and Heisenberg were.

Four workers were discussing how smart their dogs were.
The first was an IBM employee who said his dog was an excellent craftsman. His dog was named "T-squared", and he told his dog to go to the blackboard and draw a square, a circle, and a triangle which the dog did with no problem.
The Ford employee's dog was named "Slide Rule", and he claimed his dog could do calculations. He told him to go fetch a dozen cookies, bring them back and divide them into four piles of three each, which the dog did without eating a crumb.
The Bell Atlantic employee said that was all pretty good and started to show what his dog "Measure" could do. He told him to go buy a quart of milk and pour exactly seven ounces of it into a 20 ounce glass, which the dog did without spilling a drop.
The three of them agreed that their dogs were all pretty smart and all wanted to see what the Government employee's dog could do. The Govenment employee snapped his fingers and his dog "Coffee Break", strolled over, pissed on the blackboard, ate the cookies, drank the milk, screwed the other three dogs, claimed he injured his back, filed a Workman's Compensation form and went home on sick leave.
