When I was in high school we had a really awesome chemistry teacher. One day a kid mixed the wrong stuff together and they made us evacuate the school. Chemistry was my favorite class back then.

Probably the same kid did the same thing in our class. Professor flushed it down the drain and turned on EVERY OTHER sink for 15 minutes. We asked if we should evacuate. He said nope. It's too late already. Keep on with the assignment and leave the water running.

I wondered into another lab late and the professor was filling the board. I whipped out my notebook and started copying. At the end, the comment was "that is trinitrotoluene (TNT), fairly safe but the making of the nitroglycerine is extremely touchy. I don't recommend it. This won't be on the test."

There were fun times in college. Glad I lived.

My biochem professor told us a story of a substitute lab tech from another college. She ran out of some harmless chemical and misread the label of a not so harmless chemical.
When she prepared a stock solution with the incorrect chemical, the entire lab room of students started dropping like flies one by one.
Everyone ended up being ok. Can’t remember what the gas produced was. Something like confusing hexane (HC) with HCl.. but not.

Is that a threat?



Compost your enemies! Feed them to the worms. We shall raise an army of worms.

Isn't this neat? We started hearing about this at work last year. If I weren't going to a body farm, I'd want to do this.

I love this.
My dying wish is for someone to grow apples from my body and make a Caitlin pie.

It really is. I am confused by the metal coffins. Those won't break down. Kind of like the Egyptian stone sarcophagi. Around for millennia.

I also wonder what part of our society will last. Egyptian pyramids. Burial mounds of England and Americas. We shall leave football stadia. And roads.

Brilliant. Love it. I just want to be dumped in a ditch in the woods somewhere quiet so I can finally nap for a while.
I'll be pissed if I'm taken to the cemetery in town where cars whiz past all day and disturb said naps. And people wonder why zombie apocalypses happen!

And enough plastic in the oceans to kill generations of fish.
