Umm... No? The logical error you made was asserting the existence of an object. This specific object is highly improbable to exist, and since the purpose of your comment was to seem intelligent and witty it would have been better to assert the existence of a more probable object whose connection to neurological damage would be less obvious without specific knowledge.
It's really sad when the people you interact with are so stupid they can't even insult properly.
Thats why I said it was a bad idea for you to replace your cups with lead, there, dumbass.
Because safe drinking pewter exists, and only a moron would make a lead drinking mug.
Im glad I could hold your hand and walk you slowly through such a mind numbingly simple sentence. Next time, should I get you some crayons? You can draw a picture to help you understand.
"Safe drinking pewter existences"
I know dipshit, unlike you I know not to eat 2kg of tuna a day. Whom am I talking to Karen Wetterhahn ca. 1997?^1^ The fact that pewter can be lead-free has no effect on the insult because pewter is classically a lead alloy and is generally considered as such in common parlance.
"Should I get you some crayons...you can draw a picture"
What is this? Everyone in the military knows that Marines eat crayons, how come a witticist as yourself can't even seem to rise to the level of people who score a 70 on a grade 8 test?
Thank you for proving you drink from lead mugs
So concerned about pewter /= lead and yet this is a rigourous proof to you?
Sweetie, you're not going to win any contest against me except in obesity.
Stop thinking you're so special in a non-euphemistic way.
Its adorable you thought this was a contest. That lead made your head swiss cheese, huh pumpkin?
This isn't the mechanism of plumbism, but A+ for effort since we both know this was a Herculean task for you. Orators will recount the 11th labor of wildginger and the Lead Metaphors of Lemmy.
Lead lips, strikes out again
