Master shake does not like the horse's ass?

Not at first, at least.

weird i had always thought that the sharpest man made thing were the obsidian (natural glass) scalpels they use for eye surgary.

i had read somewhere that the edges are close to mono-molecular.

Well, if you have something that has an atomic edge, that's going to be sharper than "close to mono-molecular."

Natural glass isn't manmade, though.

I wonder what the warts are, if the little balls are atoms.

Apparently the slidy bits and the lumps are atoms that were moving during the exposure, since the picture is actually about a 1 second exposure.
