let's order strange things from NIST! first up is this jar of reference peanut butter. it's only $881 per jar!

but it's no ordinary peanut butter. it's got a MSDS! and a datasheet!
ok technically it is only $881 per *three* jars.
but why would you want this peanut butter? it comes with certified amounts of particular substances in it, so it's good for calibrating equipment used in the food industry to measure regular ol' grocery store peanut butter.
but NIST has a lot more than just peanut butter. oh my. you won't believe the goodies i've seen!
here, have some breakfast cereal! it comes in a pill bottle.
it'll go well with your...uhhh...whale blubber
no, what we need is some milk. you can pick fortified or unfortified milk but sorry, it's contaminated. oh also, it's human.
all right, that's not very appetizing. let's have some meat homogenate instead. actually that's probably just wet cat food 😂
couldn't find a photo of it, but maybe we should just eat "typical diet"
after eating all of that reference material i really... uhh... 💩
yes, this is powdered sewage.
there's other urban waste products too, like this Urban Dust.
or how about some THC? yes, from marijuana. however, it's been peed out by someone and is freeze dried. how'd they collect this stuff anyway?
perhaps they have a Reference Joint, similar to this standard cigarette.
some of these substances are a bit cruder than others.
huh, it's a standard bullet and a standard shell casing
you can also buy dirt.
huh, this must be the "health food" section of the NIST store. it's only slightly more expensive than Whole Foods
anyway, feel free to browse the store yourself. https://t.co/iwmINX6RTQ
their "news and updates" section also has some amusing headlines.

Once upon a time there was a Raja named Uttānapāda born of Svayambhuva Manu,1st man on earth.He had 2 beautiful wives - Suniti & Suruchi & two sons were born of them Dhruva & Uttama respectively.

Now Suniti was the daughter of a tribal chief while Suruchi was the daughter of a rich king. Hence Suruchi was always favored the most by Raja while Suniti was ignored. But while Suniti was gentle & kind hearted by nature Suruchi was venomous inside.
#KrishnaLeela


The story is of a time when ideally the eldest son of the king becomes the heir to the throne. Hence the sinhasan of the Raja belonged to Dhruva.This is why Suruchi who was the 2nd wife nourished poison in her heart for Dhruva as she knew her son will never get the throne.


One day when Dhruva was just 5 years old he went on to sit on his father's lap. Suruchi, the jealous queen, got enraged and shoved him away from Raja as she never wanted Raja to shower Dhruva with his fatherly affection.


Dhruva protested questioning his step mother "why can't i sit on my own father's lap?" A furious Suruchi berated him saying "only God can allow him that privilege. Go ask him"
