CSI delighted me last night. ANd not just for the wonderful geektasticness, though that was awesome too.

No, it delighted me because there were the APPROPRIATE CONSEQUENCES for sloppy lab procedure! As soon as Hodges pulled out the red capped squirt bottle, I was all "Oh, look, acetone."

Followed by "Umm, Hodges, could you move the acetone bottle AWAY from the bunsen burner please?"

AND THEN IT ACTUALLY CAUGHT FIRE!

Don't you love it when fiction gets fact right? :D

I'm usually yelling at the lab procedure on CSI! It's GREAT.

The writers must be monitoring your blog. :P

[yubsie]

Haha, if only. :p

You are such a geek. :) But I can't blame you for this one, hell, I yell at the procedure on CSI, and I not only failed chemistry and physics, I did so SPECTACULARLY.

Oh, I know I'm a geek. I get excited by papers in Science, that's geeky. :p

The procedure on CSI is beyond WTF most of the time. (I still want to know why he was even USING a bunsen burner for that... :p)

I'll take your word for it on a lot of the lab work - although, DNA in the same night? *snrk* - but seriously, COLLECTING DNA while you're shedding it all over the place?

There's a reason they don't do a Law & Order style divide: all the evidence would be tossed out for procedural violations.

*snerk* It's so true. :p

(A hot plate would have been WAY safer than a bunsen burner. Which is why we USE hot plates instead of bunsen burners. Except to flame dry, as that requires fire. :p)

YOU GET TO USE FIRE I WANT TO BE CHEMIST NAO PLS!

Chemistry has also been known to involve a HAMMER. :p

But the only thing I remember about chemistry is the mnemonic I made up for myself where...small thingies in an atom...are like people on the bus and only pair up when they have to.

Maybe I can just do the hammer-y and fire-y bits?
