Interesting read.

It's amazing they can even figure stuff like that out.

The first time I saw that, I read "Meth" instead of "Math." And honestly, it made almost as much sense.

Interesting read though.

Nice find.

Now I have an excuse to release gas.
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

You teach chemistry and you were called a nerd on the internet??

I think the universe is about to fold in on itself.

Of course it means a lot coming from an engineer with a sizable number of posts on that internet forum.

I remember hearing about this as it happened, particularly as it was not too very long after the Bhopal disaster. It was scary, but less so once it was figured out.

Yes. Only people who got a 5 can be in the awesome group. I am not in the group.

I didn't even take AP Chemistry because I skipped a grade. I did, however, get an A in organic chemistry in college. Loved that class!

I didn't take AP chemistry either - I somehow thought AP english would be a good idea... But now I teach organic chemistry!

Luckily all I had to take was one semester of Chem, but I did like the section we did on organic.

I'm still pulling for the whole "Ice Age" thing from a few decades ago. That one sounds like a lot more fun.
