Things in Chemistry that Yubsie Cannot Take Seriously:

ENDOR (it's a calculation method, iirc)
DAMN (diamino something or other :p)
Bipyridine (a common inorganic ligand... which is abbreviated BIPY :p)

I can SO see why. :P

[yubsie]

I'm sure most people have trouble with DAMN. ENDOR and BIPY are only problems for geeks though. :p

[non-horation.livejournal.com]

LMAO, why would you name anything DAMN? It's like calling your political party crap.

[yubsie]

Because chemists are well and truly insane? Even more so than politicians, seeing as they CHANGED that name. :p

Or maybe that's what they said when they figured out the structure "Well DAMN, I wasn't expecting that!" :p

(And hey, I named a compound Murphy last summer :p)

[non-horation.livejournal.com]

LOL! Well, I think ENDOR is kind of cute. My dad worked in a mining camp once where they named all their drill holes after places in Middle Earth.

[yubsie]

Of course ENDOR is cute. HOw could it be anything else?

LOL! That's AWESOME!

My compound is totally getting named as soon as I actually get it. I'm leaning towards Godot. :p

[non-horation.livejournal.com]

LOL at Godot! How cute! Though that might be jinxing yourself a little. :-p

[yubsie]

It's already jinxed. THis is the same compound I've been trying to make for like three weeks under four sets of reaction conditions. Hence Godot. :p

[non-horation.livejournal.com]

You're still waiting. It is Godot. Will everyone think that's a weird compound name? Because I think it's cute. :-p

[yubsie]

Exactly. It's so now the offical name. I am going to stick a note in my lab book when I actually leave the Cragg. :p

They'll think it's weird that I named my compound at ALL. I'm glad YOU at least agree it's a good name. :p

Is everything I do cute or something? :p

[non-horation.livejournal.com]

LOL, I'm not sure if me agreeing is really an endorsement. :-p

And dude, you have a rainbow Ewok icon. Do you need to ask that? :-p

[yubsie]

You agreeing beats no one agreeing. :p

BABY Ewok. :p The rainbow is usually used to prove I'm completely out of my mind. :p

[non-horation.livejournal.com]

This is true. You know you've lost it when I say you're insane. :-p

And a baby Ewok makes it CUTER. :-p

[yubsie]

And you know that YOU'VE lost it when I say you're insane! :p

Baby Ewoks are too cute. :p

[non-horation.livejournal.com]

LMAO, I'd hate to see what I would have to do for you to call me insane. Especially with some of the insanity to come out of Ravenclaw in recent years. :-p

[yubsie]

I'm not sure I want to see it either. Because with the way Ravenclaw is, the UNIVERSE might not be able to handle it. :p

[non-horation.livejournal.com]

The universe must really hate us. We're always almost making it implode. :-p

[yubsie]

That's why it's so bound and determined that we must NEVER meet. :p

[non-horation.livejournal.com]

I think it wants everyone to think that we're the same person. :-p

[yubsie]

And start invoking Heisenberg to explain it. :p

[non-horation.livejournal.com]

LOL, yeah, that's when you know it's getting bad. :-p

[yubsie]

Or we're contagious. I'm not sure which. :p

[non-horation.livejournal.com]

Hm, maybe both?

[yubsie]

Both is a very likely option. :p

[squallhighwind.livejournal.com]

You and Tess...GOD! So...lonnng! @_@

[yubsie]

I was at work. It gave me something to do. :p

[admiraljello.livejournal.com]

*jumps into comment string*

Godot is an AWESOME name. :p

[yubsie]

I certainly think it's appropriate :p

[admiraljello.livejournal.com]

Though, dunno, it might end up jinxing the thing!

[yubsie]

It's reaction 13, with the second reactant added on 6/6/06, this is the fourth set of reaction conditions and I've been trying for three weeks. It's jinxed already. :p

[admiraljello.livejournal.com]

Perhaps the last jinx will the the final jinxing that causes it to go crazy and mutate into a living Boron monster!

[yubsie]

As long as SOMETHING happens. :p

[admiraljello.livejournal.com]

Or it could just sit there and do nothing, just to spite you.

[yubsie]

That seems to be its hobby. :p

[admiraljello.livejournal.com]

Maybe it'll work when I sit down and read Sandman.

Hah!

;)

[yubsie]

Twit :p

[admiraljello.livejournal.com]

That's "Your Imperial Twit" to you! :p

[yubsie]

Is it now? :p

[hm-yrie.livejournal.com]

Endor?!

*dies of laughter*

[yubsie]

It's so PRICELESS!
