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.

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?
