Physics[edit]

I don't see any relationship to the science of "Physics". This is Biology - that is obvious. So I removed the physics category. Steve Quinn (formerly Ti-30X) (talk) 05:35, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe not so "obvious" after all - see for instance Technicolor:

Technicolor IB printing ("IB" abbreviates "imbibition", a dye-transfer operation): a process for making color motion picture prints that allows the use of dyes which are more stable and permanent than those created in chromogenic color prints.

American Heritage Dictionary: imbibition:

The act of imbibing.
Chemistry Absorption of fluid by a solid or colloid that results in swelling.

The word comes from "imbibe": American Heritage Dictionary: imbibe:

To drink.
To absorb or take in as if by drinking: "The whole body . . . imbibes delight through every pore" (Henry David Thoreau).
To receive and absorb into the mind: "Gladstone had . . . imbibed a strong prejudice against Americans" (Philip Magnus).
Obsolete To permeate; saturate.

ETYMOLOGY:

Middle English embiben, to soak up, saturate, from Latin imbibere, to drink in, imbibe

Edit request[edit]

Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented.

The first paragraph includes language about splitting human skulls. It would be helpful if a link was added citing the source of this information. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.219.125.234 (talk • contribs) 17:40, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Partly done. I couldn't find a source, so I removed it. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 14:55, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
