Don't they license chemistry professors?

I probably didn't really need to post this. A few days ago someone linked to Unfogged circa 2006, and I was struck by the sheer quantity of daily posts - like 6-10 every day. Just throwing any old thing up there. Now I feel good if there has been at least one new post each day.

Cooking up some unapproved gaseous bromine, during regular HS chemistry class, with improper and inadequate containment and ventilation, was a major factor in the rest of my life, and the wreck I am today. The teacher, wise good and something of a mentor, was shocked and disappointed (and frightened), and always thereafter viewed me with distrust and suspicion, with significance for later events. I also think my lungs were scarred.

In addition, I myself became afraid of my own buried impulsive, irresponsible, and destructive tendencies.

Since my allergy to chlorine was discovered during grade school swimming class, I would say I do not get along with halogens. I hate those headlights.

5: Four out of five times, I'll change the station. Every now and then I'll listen to it. How do you feel about it?

7: It's a reliable member of the easily-stuck-in-my-head-in-an-annoying-way family of songs. Like right now, for instance. Because I mentioned it. (Grrr.)

6:A few coughing juniors, proximate, implicate and accessory; a quickly emptied lab, with hubbub; a mad rush by teacher to close hood and activate exhaust fan.
Two days suspension for three students. Some temporary discoloration of hands.

A permanently damaged relationship with a powerful member of the faculty, who likely caught some flack for lack of supervision.

It's very easy to destroy a credit card with a lighter, if you've received a replacement in the mail; much easier than using scissors or something like that.

Dogs want to sit in the sun. I get bored. I need two hands for two leashes. Needing something to carry a large bottle of water and a tablet device, I find four (4) back/shoulder packs with capacity large enough to cross the Gobi with.

Also wondering if simple average Dallas outdoor spring is too hot for consumer electronics.

Your maths classroom is next to a chemistry lab? That sounds like a secondary school, not a university.
