The Creation of Bologna Bottles, or Bologna Vials As They Were More Commonly Known.
After learning that Bologna bottles were more commonly called Bologna vials, a little more information came to light.
It must be stressed that the creation process written in the section above is referring to Bologna vials only, as no definition could be found of a Bologna bottle at all. The definitions of Bologna vials varied however, some being of inner fortitude, some of outer, but neither author or definer seemingly aware in any way of the knowledge of each other's work. Although a definition of Bologna vials was in the 1913 copy of Merriam-Websters dictionary, searching today yields little else but sausage. As for "Bologna bottle", that appears to be a rather modern phrase for a flask shaped bottle rapidly cooled on the outside and slow cooled on the inside during the glass-making process. This causes the stresses to be concentrated on the inside of the flask, while the quick cooled, compressed, extremely hard, and otherwise incredibly brittle glass on the outside is held together by those powerful internal stresses. One teachers manual for the instruction on the demonstration and explanation of the Bologna bottle listed the manufacturing process as quick cooling a glass right after being blown, then annealing it from the outside again and as annealing specifies, allowing it to cool down slowly once more.

Famous quotes containing the words creation, bologna, vials and/or commonly:
“There have been heroes for whom this world seemed expressly prepared, as if creation had at last succeeded; whose daily life was the stuff of which our dreams are made, and whose presence enhanced the beauty and ampleness of Nature herself.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I come from a long line of male chauvinists in a very traditional family. To rebel against my background, I didn’t shoot dope—I married a working woman.”
—Joe Bologna (20th century)
“He had been eight years upon a project for extracting sunbeams out of cucumbers, which were to be put into vials hermetically sealed, and let out to warm the air in raw, inclement summers.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“If you would get money as a writer or lecturer, you must be popular, which is to go down perpendicularly.... You are paid for being something less than a man. The state does not commonly reward a genius any more wisely. Even the poet laureate would rather not have to celebrate the accidents of royalty. He must be bribed with a pipe of wine; and perhaps another poet is called away from his muse to gauge that very pipe.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
