Talk:Infinitesimal IPA

From TheKolWiki

• I think the second reference (tribute to India) is a bit of a stretch...should it be there? --Cowdude101 17:32, 16 March 2006 (CST)
• I concur. Infinitesimal is just a word meaning "small" that alliterates with the IPA acronym. Besides, I thought that was the Ottoman Empire, not India.--Einstein9073 01:23, 22 March 2006 (CST)

this is most likely a reference to 2-propanol or isopropyl alcohol more commonly known as "rubbing alcohol"; The common abbreviation for which being IPA. IPA is one of the "fusel alcohols" or higher alcohols (having more than 2 carbon atoms in their molecular structure). though in most alcoholic beverages these are considered a bad thing (poison...more so than ethanol) some beverages such as whiskey contain small (in the range of a few parts per million on might say Infinitesimal) amounts of fusel alcohol as part of their "flavor" (hence that kinda falling down-pukey-sick-black out-in a trunk-cops with guns drawn-FUN feeling one gets from a good bottle of whiskey...i hope you know what i mean...if not well i hope you dont end up in jail for the night when you find out ;] ).
