Well it's gone eight o'clock, and i'm still in the lab. Since i have some time to kill waiting for various machines to finish their machinations, i've raided the transition metal complexes and made a Christmas tree for the undergrads: Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. |

Now there's a great seasonal test for them - to identify the compounds employed by visual, non-spectrographic methods... Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

I like it. Hopefully the colored liquids are inert. One would hate to have the tree fall over and blow up the lab:) [/quote] Old James |

Well they won't blow anything up, however three of them are quite poisonous and two are lethal. Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. |

And i wonder why i'm still single... But none of us is wondering why it is that chemists (usually organic ones) die young!!! Do be careful, my friend. |

My grandmother used to take me, when I was a wee lad (was I ever?), to the Museum of Science and Industry to see Christmas around the world. It used to make me wonder if all those countries actually did Christmas trees like we do, or if they even had Christmas. I always wanted to see the train exhibits, electronic stuff, the coal mine a few times, the pendulum (which once was sitting on the floor with its cable coiled around it), pretty much anything interactive. And the Mobius strip. Flappity floppity flip The mouse on the Mobius strip The strip revolved The mouse dissolved In a chronodimensional skip - The Space Child's Mother Goose The poem didn't amuse me, and the exhibit didn't mesmerize me, until Mobius strips were explained to me in a more conventional educational manner.

My parents sent me a tree like that the first Christmas after I joined the Air Force. It wasnt much, But I still remember it even after all the other trees Ive had. [/quote] Old James |
