[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 495914, member: 16749"] This was not at all an easy challenge to come up with anything to fit the theme. I'm not completely happy with my entry, but it seems that this time around, just having anything to enter that can be argued to fit the theme puts me ahead of everyone else so far. So, here's a [B]multiplicity[/B] of me, enjoying a [b]wet[/b] beverage, [b]w[/b]h[b]et[/b]ing a knife blade, and then doing some soldering, which depends on [b]wet[/b]ting the wires with molten metal. (And yes, in technical discussions, the term “wetting” is actually used to describe the process of proper soldering—in order to get a decent joint, the molten solder must “wet” the metal in exactly the same way that water would wet a non-water-repellent surface. If the surfaces to be soldered are not hot enough, or not clean enough, the solder will not stick properly, but will tend to bead up in much the same way water would on a surface that is oily or otherwise water-repellent; and you get a weak joint that will almost certainly fail.)
