Silane is a pyrophoric gas. Its chemical formula is SiH4.
It spontaneously ignites when in contact with air. (SiH4+2O2->SiO2+2H2O)
Commonly produced with the following process:
1. Silicon dioxide is burned with magnesium, forming magnesium silicide. (SiO2+2Mg->Mg2Si+O2)
2. The magnesium silicide is placed into hydrochloric acid, forming silane gas, which ignites as it bubbles out of solution. (Mg2Si+4HCl->2MgCl2+SiH4)
Evelyn: I just made silane gas from household chemicals!
Tom: Nice! Did it explode or ignite?
Evelyn: It popped as it bubbled out. What an interesting gas.

Slane Girl

The photos were shared on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. Nobody knows why exactly these pictures are the first to recieve such tremendous digital popularity. One should think modern society doesn't know what happens on most concerts...
Female 1: Did you see the slane girl case?
Female 2: Yes. Poor girl, something like this should never happen to a person!

Male: ... You know this happens almost every day, right..?

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
