Pyromania

I found it highly amusing looking at Justin's Blog today, with all his high and mighty, holier than thou preachings, and seeing an add for Hot or Not dot com. The irony.

Lab actually went damn well today. I daresay it was nearly fun. What other scientific lab situation requires -REQUIRES, I say- that between each and every use, one's lab equipment must be set on fire?

You set things on fire. You're supposed to. You get in trouble if you don't.

It's not even necessarily between uses, either. You need to light your stuff on fire if somebody breathes on it or looks at it funny. Honest to God. If it comes into contact with anything - the lab bench, your hand, air - you need to set it on fire. The metal stuff is fun to leave in the Bunsen burner until it glows, but the glass equipment is the best; just soak it in ethanol and fire it up.

Three cheers for 201 and all that.
