everything you ever needed to know about the ocean

Is this true?

"After searching for the cause of this destruction, it was finally proven in 1999 that silver tri-magnium silicate, the powder used inside popular Etch-a-Sketch toys, was to blame for the problem. It turned out that the powder from discarded Etch-a-Sketches, while harmless on land, reacts with seawater to produce a highly toxic poison. A single leaking Etch-a-Sketch, it was found, can take out over one hundred nautical miles of reef, devastating the life that depends on that important ocean habitat."

 

100 nm? I don't think a hand full of Plutonium powder could take out that much reef.

 

You're right, you'd need at least 2.2 Kilograms to reach critical mass.

 

Is that what is needed...
I was just referring to it as the most toxic substance that I know of.

 

Is 'tri-magnium" even a real thing.

Mind you this idiotica site said the below:

"Beluga whales have a large forehead, a sign of their high intelligence. Beluga whales are, in fact, the smartest animals on earth with an average I.Q. (intelligence quotient) of 155, a level that would be considered near genius in humans. In 1979, Russian chess master, Boris Spasky faced off in a highly publicized match with "Minsky," a thirty-four year old female beluga. Using her nose to "move" the pieces on an electronic touchpad, Minsky beat her human opponent in less than one hour!"

Cool site tho, they mix fact with fiction and make it quite the entertaining story.

 

That is funny. Thanks for pointing it out. After staring at the URL I finally realized I was the idiot!
