Ha! And...
"...You've got a chemistry class, I want a piece of your mind -
You don't know what you started when you mixed it up with mine"
"...Are you ready for the final solution?"
That's all folks. Elvis has left the building   :)

Well, since Oils fans DO tend to be pretty smart people, finding a lot of chemists in the mix shouldn’t surprise anybody.  “love the little bits of…whatever…in the laboratory”  I was never able to catch the middle of that, what the heck is he saying there?

 

How do you identify chemists?

They’re the ones washing their hands BEFORE they go to the bathroom.

Beth the chemist would like to take this opportunity to formally register a protest against the use of the word “chemical” as a pejorative, on the grounds that it degrades her honorable profession.  We chemists are at enough of a social disadvantage without that.  And may I point out that most chemists are sensible enough to complete our education while still young, so that we don’t have to write papers at an advanced age.

 

*ouch* Bruce, quit smacking me!

Yo Powderposse,

Wouldn't CHEMICAL ALI be an excellent name for a rapper?

And who bequeathed upon said dude such a high and mighty handle?

And guess who has 4 papers due next week and is procrastinating like jack?
