Yubsie's Yammerings

It's Friday! And for those of you that have forgotten, that means it's...

BAD CHEMISTRY PUN TIME!

This week in Angewandte Chemie we got "In-do-line of fire" as the subtitle for a paper about, well, indolines. And then there was a sensor paper with the subtitle "Sense and sense-ability". So that's two terrible puns in one issues. THat's just crossing a line.

It's Friday, you all know what that means!

You don't? Oh.

Well.

It's time for this week's TERRIBLE PUN from Angewandte Chemie! Are you excited? You should be!

This week brought us "The winner takes it al-dol."

You may now go about your business.

If, to ammonia one adds a metal, The solution grows real unsettled. A fine blue color is seen throughout First by Humphry Davy, no doubt. From lithium, electrons are released The density of the solution decreased! Soaked electrons are born, spins pair Until a real band forms, debonaire! Lowering the T of this ebullition Impels a liquid-liquid partition, Superconductivity? Why not? Molecular orbitals hit the spot. From blue to gold, the story unfolds.

REALLY Zurek, Edwards and Hoffman? REALLY? I know this is Angewandte and known for bad puns as subtitles, but an abstract that rhymes?

Admittedly, I giggled. And then got annoyed with all the bits that didn't quite rhyme. :p
