Comic #1120

1 {Paris appears as a ghost, behind the others, who are gathered around a torpedo lying before a torpedo bay of the ship.}
1 Paris: [thinking] Oooh, they're holding a memorial. I'll just lurk and hear what they thought of me in life.
2 Spanners: It's a shame that it had to come to this. I thought she'd be back annoying us any day now.
3 Iki Piki: I think we should build a statue of Paris. Made of plaster.
4 Serron: So is this the last time we have to go to her funeral? One was enough.
4 Paris: [thinking] Haunting's too good for this lot.

Plaster of Paris is so named because of a large deposit of gypsum - the raw material from which plaster is made - at Montmartre, which is a hill within Paris.

Plaster is made from gypsum by heating it to drive off the water within the crystal structure. When this is done, the lattice breaks down, forming the powder we know as dry plaster. When mixed with water, the chemical initially forms a paste-like slurry, but then slowly reabsorbs the water and reverts to a solid crystalline mass again.

The world is an amazing place, no?
