3750, the liquid

Sign in to disble this ad
so the acacia strain album 3750 is obviously named after a dangerous liquid.

the sign on the back of trucks transporting dangerous liquids have red signs with 4 numbers denoting what liquid it is

im assuming red is liquid, green is for a gas, and it goes on

im trying to find out what chemcial/liquid 3750 would be?

any help?

UN Numbers don't go that high IIRC, just to about 3400-3500., tho I guess more could have been added since I last had to think about that stuff.

Maybe it really doesn't mean anything? Or isn't as simple as designating a real dangerous compound?

According to wiki

The UN numbers range from UN0001 to about UN3500 and are assigned by the United Nations Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods.

Then if you look specifically at the numbers they finish at 3481 with Lithium ion batteries contained in equipment or Lithium ion batteries packed with equipment (including lithium ion polymer batteries)

Then I looked up the lyrics to the title track of the album, and it mentions nothing about hazardous liquid, and that's as far as I'll go because the lyrics are pretty poorly done and I just don't think they even put the effort into it enough that the number means anything..

The Acacia Strain - 3750

Your number is going to double the popes age. your method of losing weight is going to have to change. chivalry never felt so wrong. your acting needs work. i suggest wheel of fortune, but check your spelling. tonight the world will hear your last scream. pissing blood for a week. feel it in your kidneys. blow a load like a shotgun right through the back of your skull. take that to the bank and cash it. enjoy your new skin. I'll see you at the bottom of the barrel.

I used to know what 3750 was referencing but can't for the life of me remember it right now.

Also, don't ever listen to this band expecting good lyrics. To me, their lyrics are liked for the same reason I like some action movies... too cheesy and over the top to not like. ha Like you're watching someone walk through explosions and you know it's a bad movie, but you still for some reason find yourself going..."man, this kind of rules". haha

I think the problem here is that you're listening to the Acacia Strain

trifluorochloroethylene

source

google is your friend.

EDIT: might be wrong. apparently other chemicals have the same tag. maybe it's the group that trifluorochloroethylene is in. also butyl chloride and colbalt formate. *shrug* did the first google search, you can continue.
